Key Strategy Groups

1. App Category Strategy

  • Focus on less saturated but high demand categories like Finance and Education.
  • Avoid entering high saturated ones (e.g., Family, Games, Tools) unless you offer a strong differentiator.

2. ** Rating & Review Managements**

  • Maintain regular app updates.
  • Monitor user sentiment through reviews and use that to improve features.

3. ** Pricing & Monetization Strategies**

  • Over 90% of apps are free-freemium or ad-based models work best.
  • Test pricing strategies using A/B testing and keep under $5 where possible .

4. ** Update Frequency Strategy**

  • Apps updated every 1-8 months perform better.
  • Plan a consistent monthly update cycle based on user feedback.
