Hacking the App Stores

Love this.

I've been thinking A LOT about App Store Optimization recently. It's a big problem for app developers and, as someone who loves making tools for app developers, is something that I'd like to help fix.

We're (AppStoreHQ) thinking about creating some App Store Optimization tools, but we need more input from more app developers. If you'd like to learn more, please sign up (it takes 2 seconds and I'll keep all info private):

And for those who want to hear more about what I've been thinking, I've been writing on MobileDevHQ about App Store Optimization (and will continue to add more to the series):

I'd love to chat with anyone about this topic, so if you're interested, just email me: iseff@appstorehq.com

Tap Tap Tap had a similar blog post about the importance of optimizing the app icon. They walk the reader through the steps they took to recover from a weak initial icon.
