Mobile App Marketing Examples: 26 Real Apps and What to Copy From Each

Read the five rows as a funnel. A tactic that adds impressions does nothing if conversion is weak, so most small teams get more from fixing the listing first and buying reach later. Mobile app marketing strategy, in practice, is choosing which row is your weakest and picking examples from that row.

Sources and dates are in each section. None of these companies has any connection to Spreadcast.

• Halide Mark III: A Public Preview Inside the App You Already Ship

  Lux, the studio behind the camera app Halide, opened a public preview of its next version on January 28, 2026. Lux's preview post says that updating the current app adds a button that switches to Mark III, that the new version was still unfinished, and that the team would share its work through a series of app updates and posts. The Halide Mark III launch post followed on May 27, 2026 and settles the money question in one paragraph: a free upgrade for everyone who bought Mark II and for subscribers, otherwise $19.99 a year or $59.99 once. What to copy: put the next big version in front of current users as an opt in preview, write one post per finished part, and say what the upgrade costs existing customers before anyone has to ask.

• Tapestry: A Kickstarter That Built the Launch Audience First

  The Iconfactory paid for its timeline app Tapestry with a Kickstarter. Its post of February 29, 2024 says the base project was funded within the first few days, and the post of March 6, 2024 says the campaign ended funded with the first two stretch goals reached, and that design and development had already started while it ran. Every backer is a person waiting for the launch email, which is the real asset. What to copy at a smaller size: a waitlist page or a TestFlight public link, opened weeks before release, with a short update each time something is finished.

• Söka: 270 Beta Testers and 300 Downloads Without Spending

  Roddy Munro, an indie developer, wrote a plain account of launching his bucket list app in his launch retrospective of June 4, 2023. He gave the beta to about 20 people he picked, then opened the TestFlight link and posted screenshots with it. By launch he had just over 270 testers, and he reports over 300 downloads in the first two days, mostly from social media, with no money spent. He is equally clear about what failed: Product Hunt brought no visible downloads, and about 20 journalists contacted three weeks ahead produced no coverage. What to copy: a public beta link (the TestFlight page allows up to 10,000 external testers and public links), designed screenshots with a call to action, a launch week discount code, and a plan that works if the press says nothing.

• Minimalist Phone: A Product Hunt Relaunch Three Years Later

  The maker of the screen time app minimalist phone relaunched it on Product Hunt three years after its first launch and wrote up the day in a Product Hunt forum post about nine months before this page was checked. The app finished sixth for the day. The maker's notes: an existing community and direct messages helped most, Reddit helped little, and after the launch at least seven people offered to boost it for $40 to $450 and up. The Product Hunt launch guide says launching is free and that you cannot ask people directly to upvote, only to visit and comment. What to copy: treat a major update as a reason to launch again, message the people who already like the app one by one, and ignore every paid boost.

• Overcast: A Relaunch on the App's Tenth Anniversary

  Marco Arment released a full rewrite of his podcast app on July 16, 2024, ten years to the day after version 1.0. His post about the Overcast rewrite says the work took 18 months, that he is still one person with no funding, and it lists what is new, what is gone (streaming playback) and what comes next. Listing the removed feature himself, with the reason, answered the angriest question before it was asked. What to copy: attach your biggest release to a date that already means something to your users, and publish the list of what you removed alongside the list of what you added.

• Peak Brain Training: Three Icons Tested for 44 Days

  The team behind Peak expected an icon with a robot to convert better. According to the developer story on Apple's product page optimization page, a 44 day test of three alternate icons showed the opposite: the brain icon raised conversion by 8 percent at more than 98 percent confidence, while the orange icon and the robot icon came in 2.9 and 3.5 percent below the original. The numbers are Apple's, read on October 13, 2026. What to copy: the same page says a test can hold up to three treatments and runs for up to 90 days. Draw two alternatives to your icon and let the store decide.

• Simply Piano: The App Preview Video That Did Not Win

  Simply Piano tested whether an app preview video as the first asset would beat a page with screenshots only. Apple's write up of the 12 day test, on the same product page optimization page, says the page without the video came out ahead, against the developer's hypothesis, with a 3 percent difference in conversion at 100 percent confidence. A preview video costs days to produce, and here it lost. What to copy: test the video against your best screenshots before you assume it helps. Apple's product page guidance notes that the first one to three screenshots show in search results when there is no preview, so those frames carry the most weight.

• CBS Sports: A Custom Product Page for March Madness

  CBS Sports built a custom product page around the college basketball tournament and sent visitors from its mobile website to it. The developer story on Apple's custom product pages page shows a conversion rate 20 percent higher than the default page. The same Apple page says developers see an average gain of 2.5 percentage points when they send people to a custom page, against a 1.6 percent average on default pages, and that you can publish up to 70 of them, each with its own URL and without an app update. What to copy: one page for your busiest season or your second audience, linked from the posts written for that audience.

• State of Survival: Screenshots That Match the Ad

  The game State of Survival made a custom product page for role playing game fans, with screenshots that repeated the features shown in its online ads. The developer story on the same Apple page reports conversion up 33 percent and cost per install down 14 percent against the default page. The lesson works at any budget, including zero: whatever your post or ad promises, the first screenshot on the page it links to should show that exact thing.

• Flighty: A Campaign Link on the Website Button

  The download button on Flighty's website does not point at a bare App Store address. Read on October 13, 2026, it carries Apple's campaign parameters with a campaign named for the website, so the team can see in App Analytics how many downloads the site sends. Apple's campaign links help page explains the method: a campaign name of up to 30 characters, one provider token for your account, and results that appear once a campaign has first time downloads from at least five people. What to copy: one link per channel, made in a minute with the App Store campaign link generator, so next month you know which of these tactics earned its time.

• Things 3.24: A Blog Post on the Day the New OS Ships

  Cultured Code published its Things 3.24 post on September 14, 2026, the day Apple's new operating systems arrived. The post walks through support for the new Siri, Spotlight search, snooze options and a taller widget, one section each, and ends by saying the version is a free update on the App Store for Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch and Vision Pro. The Things site links accounts on Bluesky, X, Threads, Instagram and Mastodon, and the first page of its blog shows four posts between May 2025 and September 2026, three of them about a release. What to copy: have the update approved before the OS ships, write the news once in full, then cut that text down for each network.

• Slack: Bug Fix Notes With a Voice

  On October 13, 2026, Slack's App Store listing showed version 26.10.11 with a single item under the bug fixes heading: a deadpan line claiming the app is measurably better than it was the day before, followed by thanks for staying up to date. Apple's guideline allows a generic description for a release like this. Slack used the allowance and still sounded like itself. What to copy: when a version has nothing to list, write one sentence in your product's voice in place of the stock phrase about bug fixes and performance.

• Carrot Weather: Release Notes Written in Character

  Carrot Weather is built around a sarcastic weather robot, and its App Store listing keeps the character in the store. Version 6.9.2, read on October 13, 2026, opens with a seasonal greeting in the robot's voice, then gives a plain list of what changed: support for a new iPhone model, multiple windows, a radar improvement and a fix for Live Activities. The listing shows a 4.7 rating from 88K ratings. What to copy: personality in the first two lines, then a list a hurried reader can scan. The app release notes generator drafts the list, and you add the voice.

• Bear 2.9: One Blog Post per Release

  The notes app Bear announces each version on its blog. The Bear 2.9 post of July 16, 2026 puts the feature in the title (using a tag as a workspace) and opens with what you can now do. The April post for Bear 2.8 follows the same shape. What to copy: name the feature in the headline, lead with the outcome for the user, and reuse the first two sentences as the social post. A release post also gives every network something to link to besides the store.

• Duolingo: Release Notes That Send Readers to Social

  The What's New text on Duolingo's App Store listing for version 7.144.0, read on October 13, 2026, makes a joke about its owl mascot eating bugs and then asks readers to follow the company's accounts for news, contests and product releases. The people who read release notes already use the app, so they are the cheapest followers you will ever get. What to copy: end your What's New text with one line that says where you post.

• Flighty: Reviews, Rating and Awards Where People Decide

  Flighty's home page shows what users have written about the app, each quote with a name and a date, next to badges for its 2023 Apple Design Award and its 2023 App of the Year finalist place. Its comparison page against FlightAware states a 4.8 star App Store rating, as read on October 13, 2026. The proof sits on the pages where a visitor is choosing between apps. What to copy: put your rating and one or two reviews beside the download button, ask each reviewer before you quote them, and change the number when the store changes it.

• Things: Press Quotes Under One Heading

  The Things home page gathers what reviewers have written into one section, each quote attributed to its publication, and says the app has been honored twice with an Apple Design Award. Nothing else on the page makes a claim the team wrote itself about quality. What to copy: keep a file of every sentence a publication or a known user writes about your app, and give the three best their own section. One sentence each is enough.

• Grug: An Apple Design Award for a Small Idea

  Apple announced the winners of the 2026 Apple Design Awards on June 2, 2026: 12 apps and games chosen from 36 finalists, per Apple's announcement. The app winner for Delight and Fun was grug by Ocho, a studio in the Netherlands, which Apple describes as a simple idea delivered with care: a small daily piece of wisdom. Awards are rare, but editorial attention is something you can ask for. Apple's page on getting featured says to send a Featuring Nomination in App Store Connect at least two weeks ahead, and up to three months ahead for wider consideration. What to copy: nominate every launch and major update, and post any badge or feature the day it appears.

• Widgetsmith: A Five Year Milestone Post

  David Smith marked five years of Widgetsmith with a post on his blog on September 18, 2025. It opens with the line "a TikTok video changed my life", tells the launch story hour by hour, and gives one figure: around 131 million downloads at the time of writing, his own number. An anniversary costs nothing and gives people a reason to talk about an app that has not changed this week. What to copy: write down your launch date, your first 1,000 ratings and your next round number now, and post each one with a single figure and a thank you.

• Strava: The User Count in Every Press Release

  Strava's press release of December 3, 2025 introduces the company in its first sentence as the app for active people with over 180 million users in more than 185 countries. That is Strava's own figure, and a current milestone rides along with every announcement the company makes. What to copy: write one sentence that describes your app with your present, true number (ratings, countries, years on the store) and reuse it at the top of every announcement. Update it when the number changes.

• Widgetsmith: A Creator's TikTok Walkthrough

  In the same five year post, David Smith writes that Widgetsmith was the 59th app he had launched and that the first response was warm and ordinary. Then a creator posted a TikTok walkthrough of styling a home screen with it, the video spread, and support email began arriving several times a second. He did not make the video or pay for it. What to copy: build the app's output to be shown off (a home screen, a chart, a finished result), publish a short how to so a creator can follow it, and be ready to answer every support email the day a video lands.

• Duolingo on TikTok: Paid Reach Behind Posts People Already Liked

  TikTok's case study on Duolingo, listed on September 23, 2026, covers one campaign in Germany: 34.83 million impressions, 26.89 million people reached and a 12.63 percent engagement rate, all TikTok's figures. The method is the useful part. Duolingo put Spark Ads behind videos the community had already taken up. TikTok's Spark Ads help page explains that the format promotes an organic post, yours or a creator's with their authorization, and that the views, likes and follows stay on that post. What to copy: wait for an organic post to do well, then put a small budget behind that post.

• Duolingo's Mascot Stunt: What the Download Estimates Say

  In February 2025 Duolingo announced that its owl mascot had died. TechCrunch's report of February 18, 2025 gives third party estimates: Similarweb saw Android downloads rise 38 percent the day after and web searches rise 58 percent, and Appfigures said the day brought the app's highest iOS downloads of the year to that point. These are analysts' estimates. A small team cannot copy the stunt, because it only worked on a character people had known for years. The part to copy is the consistency: one voice, kept up in release notes, push and posts, until people recognize it.

• HabitKit: An Unplanned YouTube Mention Beat a Times Square Billboard

  Sebastian Röhl builds the habit tracker HabitKit alone and reports his numbers in public. His 2024 year in review, dated December 31, 2024, compares two moments. In June the app appeared on a Times Square billboard after he won a contest, and he writes that it was not a big success in downloads or revenue. In December an MKBHD video on The Studio channel featured the app, and he reports a huge spike and his best month. He had not pitched the channel and thinks the editor found him on Threads. He also counts over 42 articles and over 14,000 followers from sharing the work. What to copy: post your progress regularly where creators look for apps. Fit beat reach here.

• Spotify Wrapped: The User's Own Data as the Post

  Spotify said its 2025 Wrapped drew over 200 million engaged users in the first 24 hours and was shared more than 500 million times that year, counting shares from the app, screenshots and downloads. Those are Spotify's numbers, reported by TechCrunch on December 4, 2025, where an engaged user means someone who viewed at least one story. The idea does not need Spotify's scale: people post their own numbers, and your logo travels with them. What to copy: one image per user with their figure for the year and your app's name on it, sized for a story.

• Flighty Passport: A Recap a Small Team Can Build

  Flighty's Passport page describes the small team version of the same idea: a designed record of every flight you have taken, with total mileage, the places you went and stats to compare with friends. It is a screen people take screenshots of, built from data the app already holds. What to copy: pick the three lifetime numbers your app knows about each user, lay them out on one screen that looks good as a screenshot, and add a share button.

• Bluesky Starter Packs: An Invite That Carries a Community

  Bluesky released starter packs on June 26, 2024. Bluesky's announcement calls them personalized invites: a pack recommends up to 150 accounts and up to 3 custom feeds, comes with a link and a QR code, and tells its creator when someone joins through it. The new person arrives to a feed that is already full, which is the hard part of joining any social app. What to copy: make the invite deliver something on arrival (a shared list, a template, a friend's settings), and tell the inviter when it worked.

• Monzo Golden Tickets: A Link That Skips the Waiting List

  The UK banking app Monzo ran a waiting list in its early years and gave members golden tickets. Monzo's post of January 10, 2018 describes one as a link you send a friend that lets them skip the list and open an account at once, and announces their return after a little over three months switched off. The reward costs nothing because it is access. What to copy: if you have a waitlist or a beta with limited seats, give each member a few passes to hand out.

• BeReal: Paid Campus Ambassadors and the Line Not to Cross

  TechCrunch's report of April 22, 2022 cites the analytics firm Apptopia: 7.67 million downloads so far that year, about three quarters of the app's lifetime installs, which the firm put down to word of mouth, a college ambassador program and new features. The same article notes that student newspapers reported ambassadors being paid $30 per referral and $50 for a download with a review, and that BeReal declined to comment. Recruiting where your users already gather is sound. Paying for reviews is the line: Apple's App Review Guidelines say manipulating reviews with paid or incentivized feedback can end in expulsion from the Developer Program, and the FTC's disclosure guide for influencers says anyone paid or given free product has to disclose the relationship in the post itself.

• Lux: Camera Reviews From the People Who Make a Camera App

  Between its Halide release posts, the Lux blog lists long reviews of each new iPhone camera and explainers on subjects such as HDR and Apple's log video format. A team that writes camera software has something to say about a new camera that a general tech site does not, and the reviews go out in the weeks when people search for that phone. What to copy: write the one article your team is better placed to write than anyone else, and time it to the moment your audience searches.

• Flighty: A Comparison Page for Each Rival

  Flighty's site has a page comparing it with each of five alternatives, including FlightAware, Flightradar24 and TripIt. The FlightAware comparison says plainly what the rival does well (free tracking of most flights, years of history, tools for developers) and that Flighty itself uses FlightAware data among its sources. People search for one app against another before they choose. What to copy: one page per rival your users mention, written fairly, including who should pick the other app.

• Strava Year in Sport: A Data Report Made for the Press

  Strava's 12th annual trend report, announced in the December 2025 press release, combines billions of recorded activities with a survey of more than 30,000 people, and the press page offers the report as a PDF beside a ZIP of press images. Journalists get a story, numbers and pictures in one place. What to copy: once a year, publish what your users did in aggregate (never individual data), with five numbers and three images on one page. A few thousand users is enough for a finding in a niche.

• Duolingo Language Report: The Same Format Every December

  The 2025 Duolingo Language Report, published December 1, 2025, ranks the languages people studied that year using data from millions of learners, and links back to an edition for every year since 2020. Publishing on the same date each year lets coverage and links build on the last edition. What to copy: choose a format you can repeat, publish it on a fixed date, and link each edition to the earlier ones.

• Duolingo: Testing Which Reminder to Send

  Duolingo's post on its practice reminders, dated September 3, 2020, explains that reminders come from a pool of written templates, that new ones are tried on a small share of learners first, and that the team analyzed about 200 million reminders sent over 34 days to build a system that picks the reminder most likely to bring each learner back. The research was presented at an academic conference that year. What to copy without a data team: write five versions of your reminder, rotate them for a month, and keep the two that bring the most people back.

• Duolingo Streaks: A Small Animation With a Measured Lift

  Duolingo's post on the streak, dated January 31, 2022, says over 6 million people were then on a streak of 7 days or longer and that thousands share their streaks on social media every day. It also reports one test: a new animation shown when a learner extends a streak raised the chance that a brand new learner was still active 7 days later by 1.7 percent. Those are Duolingo's figures. What to copy: celebrate the user's own milestone on screen, and make that screen easy to share.

• Flighty Insiders: A Newsletter With One Promise

  Flighty's newsletter page makes one promise, to hear first what the team is working on, and shows a count of more than 15,000 subscribers, Flighty's own number as read on October 13, 2026. An email list is the one audience no network can take away. What to copy: put a sign up form on your site with a single specific promise, and send one email per release, with the main feature in the subject line.

• Söka: A Screen That Moves Beta Testers to the Release

  In the Söka launch retrospective, Roddy Munro describes a screen that appeared for TestFlight users on launch day, with a link to the App Store version and the launch week discount code. He adds that he had no statistics on how well it worked and would measure it next time. What to copy: on launch day, show your beta testers one screen that says the app is out and what to do next, and count the taps.

• Pillow: Ad Variations for Apple Watch Owners

  Pillow is a sleep tracking app from the studio Neybox. Apple's Pillow story reports downloads from Apple Ads up 14 percent year over year, impressions up 30 percent and new subscription revenue up 19 percent. The detail worth copying is narrower: ad variations built from custom product pages about Apple Watch features had a 63 percent higher tap through rate and 83 percent more installs than the default ad. What to copy: one ad variation per audience, each landing on a custom product page that shows that audience's feature first.

• Facetune: Keyword Data That Fed the Listing

  Apple's Facetune story reports that ad variations beat the default ad on tap through rate by 45 percent and on conversion by 8 percent, with cost per install down 15 percent, and that downloads from Apple Ads rose 50 percent after the team began using custom product pages. The team also says the search terms it found through ads shaped its App Store optimization and its choice of markets. What to copy: run a small discovery campaign, read which searches lead to downloads, and move those words into your subtitle and keyword field.

• Up: Search Ads as the Best Paid Channel for New Customers

  Up is an Australian digital bank. Apple's Up story reports a 58 percent conversion rate for its Apple Ads, a cost per install 37 percent below the average of all its paid channels, and that Apple Ads was its top channel for installs from new customers. People typing a search into the App Store are already looking for an app. What to copy: if you spend on ads at all, start with search results for your own name and your category, and compare the cost per install with every other channel before you add one.

• Google App Campaigns: One Setup, Many Placements

  Google's help page on App campaigns says the format promotes an app across Search, Google Play, YouTube, Discover and the Display Network, and that you provide some text, a starting bid and budget, and the languages and locations. Google then tests combinations of your text, images, videos and assets from the app's store listing. The app must be published on Google Play or the Apple App Store. What to copy: give the system a real screenshot and a short line per feature, because your listing assets are part of what it mixes.

• Google's Three Campaign Types

  The same page lists three kinds of App campaign: for installs, for engagement, which aims at people who already have the app, and for pre registration before a launch. A small team should start with installs, then try engagement once there are enough lapsed users for it to matter. What to copy: pick one goal per campaign, so the result tells you something.

• Meta Advantage+ App Campaigns: Automation by Default

  On Facebook and Instagram, the format is Advantage+ app campaigns, which Meta's developer documentation says were formerly called Automated App Ads and use machine learning to drive results for app install ads. The page describes one campaign with one ad set and several ads, and lets you test up to 50 creative combinations. What to copy: since targeting is mostly automatic, the creative is your main lever, so send several clearly different posts, not five versions of one.

• The Creative Is the Targeting

  With both networks choosing the audience, the ad itself decides who responds. The design findings from our creative teardowns apply: one message, a large headline and the real product shown big enough to read. Send each ad to a custom product page that repeats its promise, the State of Survival lesson above, and compare each network's cost per install with Apple Ads before you raise any budget.

• Duolingo: A Challenge Event With a Limited Time Reward

  On October 13, 2026, Duolingo's App Store listing showed an event with the Challenge badge: for a limited time, doing lessons earns puzzle pieces that open new outfits for your avatar. The event is ordinary use of the app, framed with a deadline and a reward. What to copy: take something users already do, set a two or three week window and a small reward, and publish it as an event so it appears in search.

• Carrot Weather: A Major Update Event for One Feature

  Carrot Weather's listing on the same day carried an event with the Major Update badge for a feature that asks a few questions and builds a personalized layout of weather data. Apple's page defines that badge as significant new features or content, beyond small fixes. What to copy: when a release has one headline feature, give it an event card with its own image and a 30 character name. The card reaches people who have never opened your update notes.

• Bear: A Back to School Offer With an End Date

  Bear's back to school post of August 31, 2026 offers 30 percent off Bear Pro through September 10. The season fits the audience (people who take notes for study), the window is ten days, and the end date is in the first sentence. What to copy: pick the one season that matters to your users, keep the offer short, and state the last day at the top.

• CBS Sports and Pillow: Planning Around the Peak

  Two examples from earlier sections are seasonal at heart. CBS Sports built its custom product page for one tournament, and Apple's Pillow story says the team set out to stay competitive during the peak moment of its year, when interest in sleep tracking rises. What to copy: find your own peak in last year's download chart, and have the page, the posts and any budget ready two weeks before it.

Rows marked as included need an Apple Developer Program membership, which any app on the App Store already has.

The plan spends no money until the listing converts. If a later quarter adds a budget, start with Apple Ads on your own name and category, as the Up example suggests, and judge it by the same Campaigns report.

1. Step 1

   Pick the One Change Worth Announcing

   Choose a single feature or fix and write what the user can now do in one sentence, the way the Bear and Things posts lead with the outcome. If the release is only fixes, plan a short post in your product's voice, as Slack does, and move on.

2. Step 2

   Write the What's New Text

   Open with one or two lines in your own voice, then list the changes, the Carrot Weather shape. Draft it with the app release notes generator, and close with one line saying where you post, as Duolingo does.

3. Step 3

   Refresh the Listing Before Anyone Arrives

   Put the new feature in the promotional text, which holds 170 characters and can be changed at any time without a new version, per Apple's product page guidance. Move a screenshot of the feature to first place. Check lengths with the App Store character counter and image sizes with the App Store screenshot size checker.

4. Step 4

   Make a Campaign Link for Each Channel

   Create one link for social, one for email and one for your website with the App Store campaign link generator, the Flighty method. Without them you will not know which step of this campaign worked.

5. Step 5

   Write the News Once and Cut It for Each Network

   Write the long version first, a blog post or a pinned thread, with one screenshot per feature. Then cut it to fit each network. If you would rather skip this step, Spreadcast designs the update post from your listing and publishes it to 8 networks with a caption for each, and you approve it with one tap.

6. Step 6

   Add an In App Event and Tell the People Who Opted In

   For a headline feature, publish an in app event card so the update appears in App Store search. Send one email to your list, and a push only to people who agreed to that kind of message.

7. Step 7

   Follow With Proof, Then Read the Numbers

   Three to seven days later, post your current rating or a review whose author said yes. After a week, open the Campaigns report in App Analytics and compare the links. Keep the two channels that sent downloads and drop the rest for the next release.

• Copying the Stunt and Skipping the Years Behind It

  Duolingo's mascot story worked because people already knew the character from years of reminders and posts. A new app that stages a stunt has no one watching. Build the voice first, in release notes and replies, where it costs nothing.

• Paying for Reach Before You Know What Converts

  A Times Square billboard did not move HabitKit's downloads, by its developer's own account, while an unpaid mention to the right audience did. Spend first on places where people are already looking for an app like yours, and measure with campaign links.

• Assuming a Video Beats Screenshots

  Simply Piano's preview video lost its test, and Peak's team guessed wrong about its own icon. A test in App Store Connect needs only alternate art and can run for up to 90 days, so opinions about the listing do not need to stay opinions.

• Paying for Reviews or Upvotes

  Apple's guidelines name paid and incentivized feedback as grounds for removal from the Developer Program, and Product Hunt bans asking for upvotes. The Minimalist Phone maker was offered paid boosts within hours of launching. Say no to all of it.

• Counting on Press Coverage

  Söka's developer pitched about 20 journalists with a full press kit and got nothing, in a week when every outlet was busy with Apple news. Pitch anyway, since it costs an afternoon, but build the launch so that it works on beta testers and social posts alone.

• Announcing Once and Stopping

  Halide spread one version across a preview, a run of posts and a launch. Overcast used an anniversary to bring back people who had drifted away. One post reaches a small share of your followers, so a release deserves a week of them.

• Sending Every Channel to the Same Untagged Link

  If your bio link, your email and your website button all use the plain store address, App Analytics cannot tell them apart. A separate campaign link for each takes minutes and settles next month's argument about where to spend time.
