Ask HN: Android devs of HN, what is your experience with the Amazon Appstore?
I recently published an app on the Play Store and I'm having a hard time even getting it shown. I imagine it's a forest for the trees kinda thing.
I know it's a tough market, but hadn't realised just by how much. For the month of October, I've had 609 "Store listing visitors", and not surprisingly, zero installs.
I have a notion that AdWords probably would be a complete waste of money, though I have no numbers to back this up. I haven't actually bought a campaign yet.
This led me to look for other launch possibilities, such as the Amazon Appstore. Given the smaller number of apps, my thinking is that it might be easier to get spotted, albeit by a smaller user base.
Has anyone here had a good experience publishing to other app stores, such as Amazon's?
