There’s an increase of trials and subs for my app from Japan. It’s always been my no. 2 country but the user share has grown noticeably these days. Nothing mind blowing but noticeable.

I googled for clues and I found nothing.

I managed to check the Japanese App Store and I found my app as no. 17 in the “now trending” list. Nice to see that but no idea why.

Anyway, ありがとう! #VinylFetish #Japan

@gbuela you could check on AppFigures to see if you’re featured in the AppStore in a country.

@MuseumShuffle can you be featured without ever having sent the form?

In Top Music Apps for Japan it’s only no. 216 according to AppFigures. Nothing special.

@gbuela yes. That’s actually what happened to me.

Being featured in the App Store for the first time

It's a wild ride when your app is featured in the App Store!

@MuseumShuffle I see! Thanks for the suggestion. Just created an account at AppFigures.

It shows as “featured” since a couple of weeks ago in Japan, but as appearing in that trending list where I saw it. I would imagine the list is based on installs and it’s still not clear why I had enough installs to make it there!

@gbuela Being on that featured list would have driver a big spike in interest. I wish that the App Store would alert us when something like that happens. It's so nice and I would hate for people to not know it happened to them.
@MuseumShuffle totally agree!
@gbuela If Jordi would not have told me I would have had no idea it was happening to me!
