Android App alternate Market or place [closed]

Answer 1

When it comes to advertising applications I take a three or four step approach depending on the app.

1. (optional) Create a website for your application.
2. Create a myspace/facebook/blog/twitter account for your app. Use them to spread the good word.
3. Post videos of your app online through vimeo / youtube / etc.
4. Submit your app info to various blogs / tech reviewers. Ask them politely to consider giving it an online review.

Answer 2

In addition to what's already been said, you could also publish it on competing/alternate marketplaces, such as http://slideme.org/, http://andappstore.com/ and http://www.insydemarket.com/ - they're smaller than the android marketplace, potentially giving your app more exposure.

I noticed your app is 9.5mb; it might deter many potential users from trying the application; especially if they're running on android < 2.2 - almost 10mb of data is a considerable chunk of the available ram. I'd recommend storing the media assets on the sd-card instead (download them from within the app).

Lastly, there are forums where you can promote your apps, such as http://androidforums.com/application-announcements/ and http://www.anddev.org/promote-your-android-application-f22/

Answer 3

There are several alternative markets for Android. In descending order of install counts I have seen for my apps:

1. SlideMe
2. Amazon
3. GetJar
4. AppsLib
5. http://andappstore.com
6. http://www.insydemarket.com
7. http://www.nduoa.com (Chinese)

Answer 4

The best you might do is to ask some special resources specializing in mobile apps review to make a review of your app.
Search for special resources which are popular in your country. May be it will be useful to promote your app in social networks in special groups - there must be a group for android fans in facebook.
