So, as consumers lighten their pockets, you can double their joy by offering coupons, free shipping, buy 1 get 1 free, etc.
Be Ready to Face App Store Freeze
Due to excess load, many times, Apple experienced the App Store freeze. This means Apple stops from making app submissions and updates which cause the App Store rank to stay static for many days. So, make a plan about what you want to do well before so that you could be one of the lucky persons that witness unquantifiable app downloads.
Make Your App Visible
App Store Optimization (ASO) plays a vital role in making your app search-friendly for your potential customers. Insert the right keywords in your app title that perfectly describes your app without any ambiguity. You should be able to describe your app in 100 or fewer words so choose your keywords wisely.
