Editor's Notes
- #4: How do you stand out?
- #5: You want to make sure you give yourself every opportunity to stand out Don’t hope you go viral, get picked up by apple, etc // But there are other factors that play into SEO
- #6: // This will be the underlying theme for the rest of the talk – how to get great ratings
- #7: Can configure N days, session opens, messaging, etc
- #8: - Notice the button configuration (bottom is actually the cancel by default)… but it’s the one people instinctively hit
- #10: If they say they love it, ask for a rating Otherwise, point them to the uservoice form where they can vent How to see if this is working? You could go check the store every day or---
- #11: Don’t have to go to each app store country, translate, etc Daily digests with all the relevant info
- #12: Again with correlation… See which countries you’re trending/popular in! Localize?

- #14: Again with correlation… See which countries you’re trending/popular in! Localize?
