I have considered this, I don't see anywhere near the same purchase conversion on android that I do on iOS. But that could also be due to build quality. Do you have any insight on how successful pay models are on android apps?

Yes the users are quite active. The main thing people are paying for are the video features and the video scraper. There is some code which allows the app to pull videos from youtube, instagram, facebook, twitter, reddit, etc, and I think t

I do personally apologize for this. The android app was built by a very close friend of mine as a favor/side project back in the early days, and you are correct, it has been abandoned :( The plan is to just take it down. I need to cont

I'm embarrassed to say that I never used any formal a/b testing tools. I just fully converted to subscriptions, and ran it for a few weeks, and compared it to the previous few weeks (which were one time purchase.)

Yes agreed. I used to have a one time purchase, but then I kept improving the app, adding more complex features, and the old price didn't reflect all the new work I had put in.

Thank you! The early users came from me buying instagram ads, and recent users are primarily from App Store ads. Amazingly there is some organic traffic as well. I spent a lot of time trying to improve my app store ranking, and that makes a

I have been building the app for many years now. In the beginning I spent money mostly on instagram and facebook ads. I had pretty decent results on this, and could get installs for around 20-30 cents. However, those users also trashed my a

Personally I think app would be the way to go, and charge some in app fee or subscription. I don't think anyone would pay for browser apps, and you would require massive volume to be ad supported.

I've always been concerned about this, but there are so many meme creation tools out there that don't seem to be impacted by this problem.

thanks, writing copy is not my strong suit, and this was after many iterations.

It is subscription based model. $5/month or $35/year.

I don't get enough volume for ad support to be meaningful, and i didnt want to ruin the experience with ads. Before subscriptions, for a long time it was a one time purchase only. Then some VC's suggested i experiment with subscri

actually, the most avid hikers i know usually are overconfident, and underestimate their water needs. I always carry excess water, even after years on the trail, and always have to give some to my even more well traveled companions.
