Apple should be more clear with their developers on specific time frames rather than giving a 7 day window.

Good stuff, I think you nailed it. You caught them at a good time and it filters out the negatives for the most part. - That's smart.

Re: App Store: Organically Boost your Ratings

AppsFire — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 10:07:35 -0000

Tom

ratings are first important to your conversion download, regardless of your ranking. One of the first things the user considers are the ratings and reviews. If they re not good he will not download it. The reason so many top apps are poorly rated is because they mostly disappoint users, in spite of their high ranking, often paid. It is precisely an advantage, when compared to have a better rating

As for the algorythm, like the Coke Recipe, no one really knows it although we guess the ingredients. Ratings is definitely taken into account

raul moreno — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 08:43:48 -0000

Agree. Maybe Game Center will become that.

Re: App Store: Organically Boost your Ratings

Tom — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 08:18:35 -0000

great tool,

but what is really the importance of having 5 stars in the Appstore ranking? There are still many 2 stars app in the top rankings. Any body as a rough idea of the ranking algorythm? Is it like 80% of amount of downloads in the last 7 days + 10% according to usage of the app +10 % according to stars?

Re: Dear Apple, it’s about time for a Game Store

AppsFire — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 03:12:03 -0000

Philip we believe apple and google are just not focused on this problem because downloads are just growing and hide the fact there's a pain for users an developers.

The more I read and research this area of app discoverability (I wrote some thoughts myself on how to improve the app store experience: http://www.philterdesign.com/?..., the more I see that making apps easier to find isn't really all that important for Apple or Google. What's more important is that consumers are exposed to lots of different apps, so making things harder to find actually meets that goal. It is frustrating as a developer though as it makes your app much more difficult to find and puts more importance on being at the top of the charts.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I wouldn't have to skip through all the games anymore, and it would be easier to discover good apps.

I wonder how many people end up downloading an app while they were looking for a game though

Airy Labs — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:42:48 -0000

I definitely agree. I think it's a great idea!

Games are my primary reason for visiting the app store. Take them out, and I don't know that I would be as likely to see their non-game apps.

Re: Dear Apple, it’s about time for a Game Store

AppsFire — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:26:17 -0000

good idea

You could do it like is being done with Music, Videos, iBooks, NewsStand, and Game Center now:

Link to a category in the App Store directly from the app driving the content.

For example you could link to the Productivity Store direct from iWork apps or a dedicated iCloud app.
