The latest iOS 11 update to the App Store seems to be getting a ton of praise, and today it looks like developers are joining in on the fanfare.
A new report from Sensor Tower (via TechCrunch) indicates that developers that get featured on the App Store are seeing up to an 800% increase on downloads, specifically with the “App of the Day” or “Game of the Day” spots.
The firm looked at data between September 2017 (launch month for iOS 11) and today.
While not as large, being featured in App Store Stories or in an App List saw an average increase of between 222 and 240 percent in terms of downloads.
However, it is interesting which publishers Apple is choosing to promote. Sensor Tower shows that it is mainly big developers and publishers that are being promoted, rather than indie developers. Hopefully this changes in the future.
