App Store discoverability is broken. 99.5% of apps get under 1,000 lifetime downloads. Organic ASO is table stakes. If you don't have a viral loop, a paid creator strategy, or a niche search term you can dominate, your app dies in the long tail.
iOS and Android are two products, not one. Founders try to launch both at once, ship a worse version of both, and run out of money. Pick the platform where your ICP lives, ship there first, and earn the right to expand.
Subscription fatigue is real. Users now expect a 7-day free trial AND a 50% discount AND no payment until day 8. Your pricing page has to fight that or your conversion sits at <2%.
FAQ
iOS first or Android first?
iOS for higher ARPU in EU/US/Nordic markets. Android for emerging markets and Asia.
Native or React Native?
React Native for v1. Native if performance or platform APIs are core to the product.
What's a good day-30 retention?
15% is good. 25%+ is rare and venture-fundable.
Free or paid?
Freemium with a clear paywall. Paid upfront is dead outside niche pro tools.
