by best app has 1200 downloads in 3 month ...so ..
What i am curios to find , what is the retention rate or the percentage of users that keep the app.. I found somewere a point of view that tolld best app ever have no more that 50 % ...
My apps have 18%, 36%,39%,15%,17% ...maybe this would help other b4a members and all of them are quated 4 stars to 4.8 stars

i think that its very important how much user keep your app but more importent is to try to develope apps that are in daily use, thats why i invest much of week on my salary calculator because its a daily app you enter it every day and more then once

this means that if you have also only 5000 - 10000 users its worth
i have now about 500 active users and about 1800 request in admob every day
and only one ad in my app

post a link of your app please would like to see them

thanx

The free version of my Yahtzee app has been on Play Store since August 7th (2013) & has 16K downloads, with 8K of them still installed (so 50% retention rate). I don't know how many regular users I have because I haven't implemented Google Analytics in it, however here are some stats I do know:

- 1,000+ unique users on the Google Play Services leaderboard
- Starting to average 10,000+ Tap for Tap impressions per day. I put an interstitial ad at the end of each game, so that tells me that the game is being played at least 10K times per day.
- 209 ratings with an average of 4.38

i download your game and i dont know how to play it, i go to help and see a black screen with a scrollvew
at the end there is a button "close"

 

[Computersmith64]

Interesting. I don't see that on any of the devices or simulators I've tested it on. What device are you using?

 

[ilan]

galaxy 2 plus GT-I9105P

 

[Beja]

So nice. thanks Ilan for the good job. Will show it to my son later...

 

[ilan]

thank you

 

[Computersmith64]

Strange... I can't explain it. I've run it on multiple devices & AVD simulators & not seen that issue. What version of Android are you running?

 

[ilan]

i am running android version 4.1.2 NO CUSTOM ROM
this is a original no jailbroken phone

what should i see there? labels? imageview? edittext? maybe the background is black and the text also thatswhy i can see anything

 

[Computersmith64]

It's a bunch of labels containing text (black). They are on a white panel (alpha set to 255) & the panel is loaded into the scrollview. I'm going to load up 4.1.2 on an AVD simulator & see if it's any different.

 

[ilan]

see if the scrollview has a background color set to black

 

[Computersmith64]

I haven't set the scrollview color at all. I load it in code, so the background color will be whatever the default is. It shouldn't make a difference though, because the panel color is set to white & it's opaque.

 

[ilan]

yes but when you create the scrollview you call panel.removeview right?
and if the background of the scrollview is default (could be black) you wont see the white background of the panel

try to set it to white or transparent

 

[Computersmith64]

Nope - no panel.removeview. Here's the code after the initialize:

Activity.AddView(vScroll, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
vScroll.Panel.LoadLayout("help")
vScroll.Panel.Height = pnlHelp.Height

If the panel that the labels are sitting on is set to white & not transparent, it shouldn't make any difference what the scrollview background color is, because the panel is sitting on top of the scrollview. I can understand how it would be an issue if I just loaded the labels into the scrollview directly, but that isn't the case.

 

[ilan]

i add different my panels to my scroll views

pbottom.RemoveView
HorizontalScrollView1.Panel.AddView(pbottom,0,0,pbottom.Width ,pbottom.Height )
HorizontalScrollView1.Panel.Width = pbottom.Width

i add the scrollviews in the designer and set there alpha to 0

 

[Computersmith64]

The app doesn't scale well on smaller displays anyway, so I'm going to address that as soon as I release my latest project. At the same time I'll change the background on the scrollview to see if that helps - although I haven't been able to reproduce it, so it will be hard to test...

Thanks for letting me know about the issue.

 

[ilan]

tell me when you upload the update and i will test it for you
