REVIEW
I bought this guide on Apr.7 (transaction ****3744) for the full price of $147, paid with PayPal and I must say that
I LOVE this guide inside out!
I have 7 apps (3 reskined games, 2 tools apps, 1 diet & 1 fitness app) and I decided to test this with one of the games as it is in a separate account and I didn't want to get in trouble.
Here is what I did with my results.
Since I already had apps, I skipped the first chapters and went directly to Chapter 6 – Ratings and Reviews, as this is what this app sucked with big time and I found there a sweet hack that I just got eager to test ASAP. It took me an hour or so to prepare a new build and upload it for review. Two days later, it got public. It was not a big deal at all.
While waiting for the result (if any), I spend some time researching keywords and especially analyzing competitors. I thought I was already using the best keywords in both the title and the description, but I WAS WRONG!
It took me a day to find 4 golden keywords that I was missing, so I updated the description and subtitle, added more content to the description (I have no idea who the hell would read it, but it doesn't hurt to try this).
While spying on similar applications, I discovered some interesting things - although I believe that the screenshots of my game are good enough, I found some ideas that I wanted to test as samples provided in the manual. Okay, I asked my sister to prepare something and set up a split test in the Google console.
10 days later:
The game started getting more 5-star ratings and reviews in the play store because of the hack I applied, but still nothing remarkable in terms of more installations or revenue. The split test in the Google console shows some difference between new and old screenshots, but nothing big enough.
I sent an email to @ N1ckG2, also known as Dave, and he advised me to handle STEPS 2 and 3 of Chapter 7. I wasn't good with Step 2, but Step 3 sounded good, so I did.
2 weeks later – nothing big
3 weeks later - my game started to rank for new keywords and I saw an overall improvement in the volume of installations. The retention was almost the same BUT the conversion rate was increasing
Well, good job!
I still don't know why the conversion rate was improving - due to the new screenshots or the new and updated title and description with keywords (more relevant), but this was the BREAKTHROUGH for me and the moment I started to trust
@N1ckG2 - seems to know what he preaches in the guide.
I ran a Google app install campaign for more traffic and results - the new screenshots performed much better than the old ones!
You may see on May 13 that new screenshots with CTA receive more installations than the old one (red) and the new one without CTA (orange).
I took down the old screenshots and processed with the STEP BY STEP plan in Chapter 7 and I'm looking forward to seeing an increase in revenue!
So FAR so GOOD!
I like this guide and Dave has won my attention, I believe he knows what he is talking about and will spend more time on this and especially on the research part when I plan my next projects.
If you are in the app business, you should definitely try this!
