“App discovery, user engagement, user retention!

You just got your app live on the app store! What’s next?
  • If you are not ranking high enough on app ranking metrics, chances are you will not be featured in the list when users search for related categories to which your app is associated.
  • Not much user engagement, the possibilities are you’ll be voted down as compared to those apps in your category that have more. “How do I get engagement when my app cannot even be discovered?” Good point.
  • 1 in 4 users are finding apps through search engines or search on play stores. But is that the best way to find what is out there? Maybe not.

In an overcrowded app market, cutting through the noise, and winning user attention has never been more difficult.

According to a report by Google, the average app user has 36 apps installed on his or her smartphone. That’s a pretty small number compared to the number of apps released every day, but how are even these being discovered? As we know from a Google report, most of these apps are discovered outside the app store. app-discovery Businesses and brands are spending millions on app installs and user engagement. Developers are struggling to stand out in the competition. Every day there are scores of new apps fighting for attention on the play stores. App discoverability is a major pain point for developers who are struggling to rise above the noise and let users discover and engage with their apps. The problem is evident: it’s not easy to be found and it’s going to get more difficult from hereon. The need can be addressed not by better advertising or promotions, but through reaching out to the users in context and in their ‘mobile moment’, that single point of discoverability where the user’s intent is matched to the information that’s most relevant to him/her.

Brent Ladarola, Frost & Sullivan’s vice president of Mobile & Wireless Research, explains, “If a mobile user is using a messaging app to discuss a product relevant to an e-commerce app provider, s/he could be presented with recommendations that lead to the provider’s App Store page, or a deep link that requires just one click for app download. As this can be done while the user is still on the messaging app, the solution significantly enhances the marketer’s brand engagement opportunity.”
