Bucket
Quickly build your wish list or registry
I just wanted to have a place where I can store things that I want to get or buy in the future. Also, I've wanted to resolve the issue of not knowing what to buy for my f&f.
The keywords are "wishlist" and "registry", it's a little bit biased search, because depending on who's searching the results are slightly different. But Wishpy seems to be at the top anyway. And to be honest, it didn't bring that much traffic as I'd expect. My conversion rate is around 10% so I'm going to work on improving that.
After releasing an update the app went from 34 to 23 position in the Google Play by the search term "wish list" within 5 days. I didn't receive any new ratings or change the description. Not much of the new install as well. So I guess Google gives ASO points for regular updates.
Around 2-3 months after release Bucket crossed 250 downloads. It's not much, but it's honest work.
This traffic came mostly from posting on different channels (Reddit, IndieHackers etc.) and paid advertisement (AdWords). Although I didn't invest much yet.
I'm still planning in putting some money into Facebook/Instagram ads, but I'm waiting till I finish Share via web feature.
Most of the downloads are coming from Android version. For some reason iOS is not doing so well.
I've learned that doing MVP for mobile world doesn't really work. So after semi-successful "launch" in December (I wanted to do it before Christmas). I spend some time at the end of the year to polish the app UI and UX. I'm happy to announce that's ready and looks much better. I'm no longer afraid to show it publicly.
