[Library] Plot Projects: Location Based Push Notifications - IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools

Hi xda,
I've been using Plot Projects in my Android app for about a year now. It's a really neat plugin that I would like to share with all of you.
In their dashboard you can easily add locations and notifications for those locations. Just their analytics and heatmaps by itself was reason enough for me to use this plugin in my app. Their analytics and heatmaps gave me insights of when and where my users use my app. In my case I could clearly see certain train stations having a high density of my users. Currently I'm exploring opportunities using PlotProjects to monetize my app by earning money by sending discount coupons for coffee and food retailers on these stations.
Great tool I can recommend to anyone here for new ways to improve app retention and monetization

Dear developer, I've tried this app. Tough there's Ad banner under the screen, it's very useful. But some how it can't open my mp4 shoted by my phone showing "no subtitles". Pls fix. Besides it could be better if you could add some guiding UI or instruction pages at the beginning of the program, when this app is opened by user at the first time. 5 stars. Keep it up!
Would you like to have a try on Locker Master? If find it good pls rate it. It won't disappoint you.

How PromotedApp is helping solve the problem of App Discovery for good!

A question was asked on a forum " Why does Google Admob & Facebook not work for promoting my app "
The reason admob, facebook and others are not particularly effective is because they 'exploit' app discovery by charging per install. This is a very expensive and un-scalable option for most app developers. According to a Gartner report released in January 2014, less than 0.01% of apps will be viable. That is a massive problem which should concern app developers.
App Developers need to learn the concept of broader marketing and branding and how it can be done cost effectively. So, PromotedApp Dot Com wants to help app developers achieve consistent downloads and user retention, through evangelism and branding of your app.
If you want sustainable marketing and long term discovery of your app with growing followers and sharing, then simply post your app on
PromotedApp
PromotedApp is a Visual & Social Media Startup helping solve the critical problem of app discovery and user retention. PromotedApp is like the Pinterest for apps!
Most importantly, its very affordable.. only $50.00 to post once, or $50.00 per month to create your own App Media Board. This can include all your gorgeous app screenshots, videos and articles. Developers can also message followers and users on the platform with app updates and incentives.
PromotedApp is at the beginning of helping solve a huge problem and we are developing algorithms and other attributes to help with app discovery.
It's important to realize facebook, google, twitter and co, were not built from scratch to help solve the problem of app discovery and user retention which is even more critical. What they do is exploit app discovery through cost per install, or pay per click ranging from $0.30 to $4.00. That is ok for them, but it really is not the cost effective way to scale your app brand.
App Developers should think like fortune 500 brands and understand the full spectrum of media & marketing to achieve sustainable retention with app consumers. For instance, if your app media board includes videos and article reviews about your app, users will start to integrate more closely with your app brand and share your content. This is the long term solution PromotedApp provides.
Apps can be shared and downloaded agnostically on any device and every piece of media uploaded can be followed, and also shared on major social networks.
Users can curate lifetime app boards for free, from developer postings they love. This way, your apps & updates can be downloaded more frequently, followed and shared with friends.
Hope all the above information helps App Developers learn how PromotedApp aims to help solve the problem of discovery.
We are Crowdfunding too! See the following link below if you'd like to become a Sponsor and have your app amplified as we scale! :

Best Tips for Android App Promotion

Hello, I’m here to share my thoughts and tips about the Android app promotion
Here are the most useful tips which I have learnt promoting my Android Apps:
1) Start promoting your App while it’s still developing.
2) Make an announcement about your Application in news break. List its pros, benefits, emphasize strong sides. It helps to warm up the user’s perception and become more loyal to the newly released application.
3) Maximize its effectiveness in your inner market. I mean it must stand out among the similar applications and become visible for users when they type its name in search line. ASO service will help you to be different and recognized – pay attention on title, description, screenshots, and presence of keywords.
4) Use SMM channel. Talk as much as possible about your application in social networks, thematic blogs and forums.
5) Maintain AdWords campaign – it would provide you solely target audience on your App installation.
6) Use incent traffic service which provide you installs and high rate reviews– it cost not much, but ensure inflow of organic audience.
7) If you have several similar application – not use the same marketing campaign – try different channels and test measurements.
8) Run the keyword install campaigns for the cheapest rankings growth and raise your organic traffic
Would be great if people will add their own thoughts/marketing cases here. Concerning the different ad networks/platforms etc:angel:
Check out APPSPIRE.me
If you really want to invest in making your app the next big thing, you should check out APPSPIRE.me, a mobile app marketing agency. They guarantee results and are super easy to work with. To be honest, they are the real deal. If you have a little bit of money to spend to get your app huge, I really recommend that you check them out.
pay attention to your existing users
I may share one more tip
You might have developed an excellent app, but you might be forgetting about retention and loyalty. Observing recent app store algorithm updates, you can see that retention and app usage metrics are getting more important for the app stores than ever. Loyal users are about to be even more value for both Apple App Store as well as Google Play Store Algorithm.
