Hi everyone! I have some andromo apps for a long time and this is one of my first comments here. I only have my apps on GP and Samsung. As I only use free apps with interstitial ads I can not use the amazon store.
Does anyone have their apps on china markets? Does admob work well there?
@hendrixs How does Opera work for you? Is this because the other app stores did not deliver enough downloads? Of was it too much effort to maintain them all?
@mark: I could not live from Opera alone. It's about 1/100th from what I get on GP. Other app stores were even worse. If it would be worth it, I would not mind to maintain the portfolio.
Guys do you use amazon ads in all apps regardless where you upload them, or you only use them when submitting to Amazon Apps website? It occurred to me that I might be losing income since I include amazon ads in all Android markets submissions.
Does anyone here have any experience with Mikandi (adult app store)? @sylviathewitch, what do you think, is it possible to get at least 100 DL/day for a free "soft" app? As far as I can tell, Mikandi is more about "hard" stuff, but I won't make those kind of apps (it's also against Andromo's TOS, AFAIK).
Please share your experiences, if you have any. Thanks.
I have, so I have an app for online sexshop but tbh I never bother to check downloads as store doesn't exist any more. Its huge market and its very easy to publish an app. How would you get monetize from that?
@f1_fan: I would put an affiliate link in it to a certain product. Do you only have one app or more? I'm interested if the store is well and alive and if 100 DL/day are possible.
Also, anyone with experiences on Mobile9 Appstore?
I have/had one. I don't care about that any more. I think that sex business is huge and especialy if u will offer free app. I would say you may hit target all depends on the content. Now GetJar accepts nude/sexish apps also. But it's pain on the ass to publish app due to pic resolutions.
Hey guys, did anyone try Nokia App Store? If yes, could you please share your experience?
What about Mobile9 and AppsLib? Are they any good?
As before, the only real good alternative for me so far is Samsung Appstore. I also hear Chinese app stores are OK (especially for games), but they don't support English language, so if you want to upload anything there, you'll either need to know Chinese language or you need to hire someone from there to get your app uploaded. A friend of mine was earning 75 USD/day only after a week with one of his games.
@hendrixs : Hi, yes I submitted 12 apps to Nokia last week and this morning I received already 8 messages from them that my apps are published in Nokia store (for each app submitted they send a message).Too soon to see the performance but I will report later. Regarding the China market, you can use Chrome to auto-translate the page for submission but the problem (for me) is they ask for mobile number (chinese) where to send you a PIN or something to verify your account and others are asking for some Social Number (chinese as well) or national ID so I'm not sure how to pass this to open a developer account. Could help a lot if you can ask your friend how he did it. Thanks and good luck to all.
@pvlalina: Thanks for the reply. I've received my Nokia Store credentials automatically, but they don't work. :-/ I've sent them a message about it and I'm still waiting for a reply. Please let us know when you'll have more data.
My friend is a dev from India who knows a dev in China. He published his app on his own Chinese account. Hope this helps somewhat.
@hendrixs : Thank you for info.I will try to find some Chinese people on fiverr who may want to register an account for me.If it's working I will post here. Also do you know if your friend use Admob for his game in China market? From what I know Adsense/Admob are acting like crazy when Chinese traffic is involved - I'm talking about websites traffic, not sure if is the same thing when mobile traffic is involved.
Has anyone managed to find a way to submit apps at Snappcloud? I am getting some random pages about API etc and I cannot understand where the market is.
I'm discontinuing all stores except for the big three - GP, Samsung, Amazon. I just didn't find any success there with my apps. My most downloaded app on a alternative app store had in 6 month as much downloads as it has on GP in 4 or 5 days. I'd be very happy if alternative app stores would perform better for me, but sadly, they don't.
Wow 2 downloads in 2 weeks that's quite horrible , a putrid slimy flavor indeed. You can get more downloads just tweeting your apps on twitter. Man you put a lot of work 42 apps , the downloads seem very funky . Nokia better get it's act together.
well I would request andromo to help as to monetize our apps with Revmob too , I have heard good report of Revmob is fast showing earnings and prom too send instantly after 30 days without asking cash revenues ,

It's difficult to break into China without a translated app. AdMob does work there as well.
Please share your experiences, if you have any. Thanks.
Also, anyone with experiences on Mobile9 Appstore?
Appslib -
Anyone knows advertisement option for those kind of apps?
OK, so far we have these adult friendly app stores:
- Mikandi
- AdultAppMart
- AppsLib
- GetJar
Any more? I guess these 4 should be a good starting point.

But who knows, maybe it starts gaining some popularity soon.
