What drives android app downloads?

2 points by wrobbins 12y ago ↗ HN

Background: I'm a 16 yr old, and in April I came out with my first app for android. (Brick breaker free by RobbinsDev). I've been studying the download patterns of my app, and I'm curious as to what exactly causes these trends. Dos anyone have some insight? Thanks!

what trends? can you some graphic?

Sometimes is the title that you use, the amount of updates, without more data we can talk all day about all and nothing at the same time.

It all depends where your audience is coming from. Do you have sudden spikes of downloads? Or is it closer to an increasing linear line? It's difficult to tell what's going on without more data, as chudi noted.

By the way, I'd love it if you could shoot me an email at zchlatta (at) gmail.com. I'm also a teenage developer. It's always great to meet others my age who are doing great things.
