I have a handful of apps that have had a handful of downloads. Its a hobby and I'm learning.

Its beginnign to look like Amazon is the better marketplace. What do people think.

Somethibg somewhere must be advertising one of my apps on amazon... from 2 or 3 a day I'm now consistently hitting 60 a day.... but not on google.... I'm puzzled...I have tried to publicise the google one!

I'll have to take another look at Amazon. I currently only have one of my apps on there but a handful on Google Play. The one app I have on both is doing better on Google Play. I'll have to upload the rest of my apps to Amazon and see how they do.

On the other hand, I am also on the Opera App Store. And I have to say that all of my apps seem to be doing better on there than they are on Google Play.

It's interesting to share are experiences with various app stores. As I've already mentioned, Google Play is by far the best for me, then comes Amazon with 1/10th (and much less for various other apps) of the download volume, and I hadn't have a single download from Opera Store in the last month.

Where do you check your Opera stats? Is this what you use: https://apps.opera.com/administrator/ ?

They've added all my apps from Google Play - I haven't added a single one by myself. Maybe that could be the reason for extremely poor performance? Maybe they've missed something or whatever.

@hendrixs Yep that would be the link that I use to log in to upload my apps to Opera and to check my apps stats.

@shaney_g: Thanks. Well, as I said, I didn't have a single download for the last 30 days. :-/

I just joined opera and had to add them all myself

That was at the beginning - they've contacted me and asked if I'm OK with adding my apps by them to Opera Store. I said sure, go ahead, and had about 80 downloads in the first few days, and after that, not a single download more.
