vivqu··on Ask HN: Mobile developers – how do you market your apps you made for fun?
Thanks for the numbers! Really cool that you tried so many different strategies.

I'll definitely try out posting on FB groups, that's a great idea. I think general target groups are families with young kids, or people interested in language learning.

Do you have a link to the app that you made? I'd love to check it out.

Good point about the communities online! I did post on r/languagelearning but there's surely more I can reach out to. I also like the idea around educational content since many of the resources I used to find the animal sounds were articles anyway.

I thought of the game when I was taking Japanese classes in Tokyo. One day we were learning about Japanese animal sounds and the teacher asked us to go around the room and share what animal sounds like in our native languages. There were folks from America, Italy, Norway, Thailand, China, the Phillipines. It was one of my favorite experiences.

I built it using React Native; it was very straightforward since the game doesn't need any particularly deep integrations with the native platforms.
