Has the iOS exposure so far boosted android downloads in any significant way?

thanks, I sent some early promo codes to a few sites, touch arcade were the only site who did an article (not a raving review though) and they spoke about the game on their podcast.

Apart from that i tweeted about it, made a youtube video and thats it.

Ill find out tomorrow, the feature only really happened last night. But I believe it did for Wheelie Legend, I got featured first on iOS and got some rankings, then the google rankings went up and ended up making more money than iOS.

I think it's worth mentioning that Apple tends to update the featured list for the US on Thursdays. At least that's what I've noticed.

They do, except in special situations. Hopefully this one will get a spot on Thursday!

Man it would be nice to get that USA feature, not got anywhere in the ratings in the US on either of my games.

yesterdays stats,

28,888 downloads
30 remove adverts (lowest tier)
$270 admob revenue (148,579 impressions)

Pretty good, not sure where its going to go from here, maybe this is the peak. Blown away by those numbers though.

Wow. This actually restores some hope in mobile for me. I have had almost no success in mobile in the whole last year I did. This year I hope to have more success with ad revenue. Great job guys. You've paid for Stencyl and your Apple license so now everything is profit if it wasn't already.

Congrats - impressive numbers. 

Kind of startling that only 30 chose to remove ads out of 28,888 downloads!
