Is my app decietful?

Hi : )

A week or two ago I released a game, “Red Defense” to the google play store.
It’s gotten lots of downloads, more than I hoped in fact. But 70% of people are returning the app
(I had no idea that was even possible).

I dont feel like my trailer or the summary are misleading at all, maybe the game is crashing?
But I don’t get any crash reports.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Would anyone mind trying the game and telling me if they felt like the game was unfairly portrayed in the trailer?

Here is the JGO page for the game (it has free promo codes if you have the time to try it)

hi! You should check with many android versions or phones before launching on app store! ( lol )

Seriously, you could also add some sort of crash report services like this one (never tried, btw) https://github.com/ACRA/acra

returns could be because of :

  • Didn’t understand the game quick enough
  • Didn’t find it interesting enough
  • Completed it in the return period
  • Got bored

Fabric.io is the best tool I know for mobile app analytics. It has crash reporting and all kinds of tracking information about users. Not to mention everything is almost instant - the moment user launches the app it only takes seconds for you to see that. Same with crashes.

The integration should also be very straightforward and easy. It is supported on iOS / Android / Amazon and probably other mobile platforms.

I really appreciate the feedback, I’ll look into this stuff.

Hey trollwarrior, I spent some time today trying to get fabric.io set up. It seems that I need to be using android studio to use Fabric.io, do you have any alternative recommendations for crash reporting software?
