How AnyTracker Grew

Web-based tracker for any data or price

How did AnyTracker grow?

Summary of the sourced claims below

AnyTracker initially grew through posting on Reddit, where it received significant positive feedback and reached 1,000 downloads within the first week, eventually leading to the first 10,000 installs when the app was free. The app's growth was further boosted when a prominent tech YouTuber featured it in a video, resulting in a jump from 10,000 to 50,000 downloads in a few weeks. Organic search engine optimization also contributed to growth by ranking the app highly for relevant keywords in app stores, leading to many downloads and good ratings. Minimal paid advertising through Apple search ads was used to generate a few leads, while Google Ads were tried but were less effective due to setup issues.

    “Then a couple of months later, I was really lucky that this big tech YouTuber caught the app, and he showcased it in one of his top Android apps of the month videos. And that led to a lot of downloads. So then from 10,000 to 50,000 in a couple of weeks.”

    “Luckily, out of nowhere, the famous App Reviewer and YouTuber HowToMen shared my app on his channel, and this led to 10,000 new downloads after the release of his video. This had a snowball effect, as other tech YouTubers tend to copy the big guys.”

    “But the real validation was when I posted it on this subreddit on Android apps. So that was kind of overwhelming, to be honest. I did not expect all that feedback. And the app was completely free at that point. So I think that also influences people's opinions. Today, there are different tires. S...”

    “I have tried a few different things: Google Ads, Apple Search Ads and creating a brand on Twitter/TikTok. Google Ads led to a substantial amount of new downloads, but they were not as focused as I had wanted.”

    “I tried Google Ads at some point. But that was like throwing money out of the window, at least with my knowledge. I probably didn't set up the ads very well.”

    “keywords are important. So as I said, it's ranking at the top for the price tracker keyword on App Store, which is, I believe, quite good. I also think just that the app has quite a few downloads, pretty good rating, and just leads to it being at the top of the search results in both stores.”
