Faadfeed App Optimizer Will Make Free Iphone Games Easier To FInd
App companies are constantly looking for new ways to get your attention and to get iPhone users to try out their applications. Websites like freeappaday.com help make the process of product promotion and consumer acquisition as simple as browse and buy. Freeappaday showcases a chosen app each day and makes it available to consumers for 24 hours.
A quick glance of the site shows the day's free app and apps listed throughout past months. The banner at the top of the site list other apps that are currently free and the side banners are a blend of free and paid choices.
Freeappaday wants to streamline this the process of promotion even further by introducing its' new app optimizer FaadFeed to give developers an easier way to reach gamers and iPhone enthusiasts. Essentially an XML feed, it will allow applications to be easily accessed by consumers and automatically push any new apps to the phone on a daily basis. This will make the apps more visible to iPhone users and localize them, removing the need for annoying update notifications often found in the regular application update approach. CEO Joe Bayen of freeappaday.com had this to say:
iPhone Developers previously used various method to reignite usage, some opted for the "push notification" as a mean to remind users to play or use an application, however this method has revealed itself to be somewhat intrusive causing some end-users to delete applications? altogether. Others used the regular application update approach which has shown some effectiveness, however the process is often time consuming for developers and can ultimately generate a nuisance for end-users since the process requires constant application updates. In the long run, the observed trend can have a detrimental impact for developers focusing on the ad-funded or freemium business model, therefore, adding the FaadFeed in the discovery arsenal will provide some much needed stickiness.
Ultimately, FaadFeed looks like it will offer developers a hassle free way to provide gaming and app experiences to consumers. Its simplicity and ability to remove annoying app updates will surely make this a win win situation for developers and app users everywhere.
