QUESTION:
My iPhone app is buried in the App Store. Any advice for founders like me who need to promote their iPhone apps but don’t know how.
ANSWER:
Okay, nearly every startup has an iPhone app. It’s almost a “must-have” as part of your business plan, even if you’re not a mobile company. With that in mind, I’ve hunted about for ways to promote these glorious iPhone apps we all have. Here are the results of my hard work…
First, I’ll mention some good places to get started:
- Promoarrow – a great way to promote your app at a low price
- Tapjoy – pay them money, and they’ll get you downloads
- Flurry – also a good source for buying downloads
- AdMob – owned by Google and works like Adwords for mobile
- Free App a Day – features iPhone apps
- Chomp – live app reviews
- Mplayit – promotes videos for apps
If that isn’t enough, here’s more…
- 52 Ways to Promote Your iPhone App
- 50 Ways to Promote Your iPhone App

My Apple App is now available for downloads. Just type shoot that ball and you would be able to DL the app. Now, am looking for a proven business strategy and a succesful way in promoting my app. Please email me at: [email protected]. Your help is greatly appreciated. About my app, this is the only shooting the basketball app on the App Store that you can take/upload a photo and use that as your background. Shoot as many balls as you like for 90 seconds and post your score in Facebook. Thanks!
http://appsorg.com/ – Helps you share apps from around the web.
I advice to use such services, like http://96apps.com to promote your apps. It costs almost nothing ($0.99 for an unlimited time ad), but gives a great impact on downloads!
Hello everyone,
Me and my company have designed a brand-new website to promote your apps on any platform for free! Be fast! It’s free only for the first few months of launch. Get your app listed on the first cross-platform, free app promotion website.
And the link is here: http://www.theappdirectory.weebly.com
Try using Youtube reviewers, it helped my apps tremendously. Brought them up about 30 spots on the Paid section through a review alone.
http://www.appstorereviewer.com , contact that man
Thank you for the great resources!
I came across http://www.appepic.com a while back and they have great promo options for apps.
From reviews and focus groups, to pre-launch prep and social media campaigns. Very affordable too, I got my app reviewed for just $50!!
I highly recommend them!
Hey,
It is strange that your app is still buried in the app store during this era of so many promotion strategies. You can definitely hire some app promotion specialist.
If you are looking for more than 900 downloads of the app from appstore within a duration of 3 months you can ask for Russell at [email protected].
Pricing starts from as low as $3K.
Hello

Hey there. Thanks for the post, it’s great for showing the way of really getting your app promoted. Although buying downloads may not be something that a lot of app owners are after. I think the new trend of the market is publicizing the app and therefore receiving organic downloads and reviews. Just my opinion though, someone may disagree 🙂
I just released version 2 of the App for free download.
It’s make sharing photos on facebook a snap.
