MenuHow to know if my app downloads are real or spam?
I got a snapshot from Apple saying April 2nd I received over 200 downloads that day, mostly in Europe and India. My app is a highly specific application for Chiropractor's and all marketing (very little so far) has been done in Canada/USA. Any insights as to tracking real vs. spam downloads and how to stop spammers?
Answers
Well, hopefully you have analytics embedded in your app. That should also give you an idea of how many users are real vs spammers. Also, what sections of your apps are being used more often. It is not too late to add the analytics to your app.
If you do not want any downloads from specific countries, why not exclude these countries for your app sale. Then you don't have to worry about span downloads, etc.
There are no spam downloads. Probably some people were curious about the topic

How do I know if a developer is good?
You've received good advice. I'd just add one thing. We recently interviewed dozens of developers. After narrowing it down to a handful of individuals that had personalities and resumes we liked, we paid a developer friend of ours a few hundred bucks to interview the developers and thoroughly vet them from a technical standpoint. It was well worth the money to have someone more technically skilled than us contribute to our due diligence on the candidates.Jared IversonJI

Can you offer 1-month or 1-week trials on in-app purchases?
You can't offer trials or even easily make refunds accessible via in-app purchases. What you can do is actually make manual deposits or write checks back to the users who ask for it. But the purchase behavior associated with in-app purchases really shouldn't require any promise of a refund. In fact, doing so might make people *less* likely to purchase being that you're telegraphing a weak offering. Happy to talk through alternate ways of testing pricing and willingness to pay in a call.Tom WilliamsTW
