Ask HN: I created an app => 200K+ downloads on Android,nothing on iOS. Any tips?

On Android, rating 4.7 based on 3000 reviews, excellent scores, tons of active users, purchases. On iOS, single downloads, with good internal metrics of the app. How to promote on iOS? Everything I've tried doesn't work, but I can see that users on both platforms like the app.

The Notes app on iOS works perfectly for this so I would assume many iOS users are just using Notes. That is going to be hard to beat.

No. Those who use it say it's not. And the standard iOS application does not allow to work cross-platform or just via a link without registration. Try it )

Am I correct in saying the app is free on Android and $4.99 on iOS?

There is also no need for third party to-do lists on iOS.

No, the app is free, only paying for premium if you need it. The standard app is not cross-platform and is more difficult to use. I'm an iOS owner myself and know what I'm talking about )

It's definitely $4.99/£4.99 on iOS...
