Marketing to get new users to download is important but so is an active user base. Don’t forget to market to your current users as well. A great way to do this is through your Updates.

Using release notes is also a good time to thank users, elicit reviews and definitely sell the new features you are bringing them (or what’s to come).

App store users, like all mobile users, scan and snack. They go through a list of apps and stop at those that grab their attention. In an app store list you only have your name, your icon and your ratings to stand out from the crowd. And only have seconds to make that impact. Users aremostly downloading directly from lists without even visiting the full app page.
