Hello everyone!
I am thinking of making a new app, including a website. Since I am a website builder I would love to get some help with building the android app (my knowloedge of java is minimal...).
The fact is; I always have good ideas for building websites etc, but never really have the motivation to develop it. Now I have this thing; I am an athlete and study sports marketing. There are a lot apps for running and fitness, but there is no database-like app for athletics.
What should the app do?
- The app should syncronize with the website I will build, it should be able to upload the user data to the MySQL database.
- It will be a 'social' app so you should be able to put things on twitter with it.
- You should be able to upload your new personal records to it. So you can keep track of your best performances
- There should be information about specific technics (for example the fosbury flop, on high jump).
and more if I can come up with more ideas.
What am I looking for?
- A developer that has about 2 or 3 hours time a week for this project
- Creative people
- People who know how developing for android works.
In a later stadium the developer(s) can earn money from selling the app and adds, 100% of the profit of the app is for the developer(s). The profit I get from the website is 100% for me.
If there's nobody interested, do you guys know where to find someone like this? I can't do it all myself since that's way too much work. But I would love to make it. I will make a logo, and we can discuss about a name for the website and the app.
Please help me. If you have questions, please ask!

Thank you so much for this list WilmerStudios!!
Thanks for the list
This list is great !!! However if you want to get the right user base.. We will have to go more niche . For example if you are targeting an which is exclusive for Samsung phones then you will need to target blogs and forums related to Samsung phones (you can easily find these forums by Google).
I had been working with a company which created apps related to EnglishPremierLeague. The marketing strategy consisted of building a relation ship with the blogs and forums which discusses on football transfer talks and right when the app was uploaded the relationship with these blogs were leveraged into downloads. The app reached 2000 downloads on the day it was released !!!.

Keywords and metadata dont exist on the Google Play store if you are comparing this to SEO.

FYI there are much more app review sites. We have contacts of editors of 442 sites from all over the world (they post app reviews in 20 languages). 224 sites of them post Android news and app reviews in English. About 1/3 of those editors can be contacted only via contact forms (protected with captcha). If you don't want to spend days gathering contact info and then contacting editors of all 442 sites, we can do that for you for just $159. The name of service is iSpreadNews
Wow! Amazing post guys...I'm working searching for beta users for my app (slidepick app), so this is very helpful!
Awesome post guys , i'm promoting my game and i'm kinda struggling with it since it's my first game, so i'll try every single forum and reviews sites you mentioned if this is what it takes, hope i finally get some downloads.
Please, let me know, how many of that web sites actually wrote a review for your app?

I have submitted my app and see if you could help. Thanks for your offer.
I am also going to search any good forum/groups/etc for brain/puzzle games. But so far I cannot find one.
Hi.
I recently started a FB page called /gamesonmobilefans . They main purpose of it is to share to the world great quality mobile games.
No money involved. I am working on it on my free time.
I'm looking for people who is interested in this to help me with the management.
Also Devs you can share your game with me and i will do a mini review and post it.
So if this page goes a little bit popular this can help devs with their marketing strategys and also help users to find great games in one place.
What i am doing is:
Download/Buy the selected game
Play it
Make a mini review
Share it
Sometimes mention the devs in the fb post so also promotes their fb pages.
Hope you like the idea and if you want to help just text me.
Thanks a lot.
Fefo
Great post!
Good work, always nice to find these kinds of FB groups.
Great idea ! I'll have something for you today.
I have created group on facebook with the name:
Best android games
for promoting your apps.
Thanks for sharing.
Do you focus on (or prefer to review) any game category?
Hello guys,
A week ago we made a game for android and published it on Google Play, followed by some heavy advertising (free) everywhere I could (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, all these kind of sites). It all started good, we got around 40 ratings , 90% are 5 starts. The game got to the top 25 new games at the Arcade section and also in the top 10 Trending Arcade section.
But even though our game is at the top no one seems to see it? I am frustrated that the game can't be that bad , it is simple and yet addictive from what I have been told. It is just no one seems to see it.. we have like 300 downloads but they don't seem to raise anymore.
You can find the link to the game below (or you can search it on Google play, it is called Impossible Path).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MadGoat.ImpossiblePath
I am wondering, is the game so bad or am I advertising wrong??If anyone can help, please tell me what's wrong here and what can I do?
Any advice regarding marketing and promotion is welcome. Thank you.
Hello! I found your game entertaining and I think that it just needs to become more popular. Firstly, you could ask to get a review of your game published in some Review Websites or blogs such as Soldgame.com. Secondly, I would use a cross promotion community, since they can be a really useful tool when your app is growing and often increase the number of installs. If you want some personal advice, I'd go for Tappx.com, since they're pretty clean and just want to help you grow bigger (it's a free platform) After that, I'd go for AdMobs or some monetizing method. Good luck with your app!
