But that's OK - for me the big question is/was: will it sell at all, ie. 1) do consumers still like the Nokia brand 2) can consumers learn to like/love Windows Phone?<br /><br />For me, based on (amongst others) your stats, the answer is yes (to both questions). And that's very good news for Nokia & Microsoft. They now 'just' need to execute in 2012 & 2013.... and build up that 3rd ecosystem.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your update(s)!<br />JanJannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563071785757928434.post-53387305964919381172012-02-18T08:09:39.453+01:002012-02-18T08:09:39.453+01:00I will have to check it.

And your app downloads as well. Do you confirm?<br />If yes, I'll buy myself some Nokia shares! :-)Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563071785757928434.post-88673033735452860382012-01-14T08:28:02.887+01:002012-01-14T08:28:02.887+01:00I looked at my other apps and I see a slight incre...I looked at my other apps and I see a slight increase at that time, but not in relation. To be clear, it had an impact, but it was not that huge like I wrote. <br />Thanks for the feedback, I will update the post later and maybe add some graphs of my other apps for comparison.Rene Schultehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777157871967896549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563071785757928434.post-56465433906622715072012-01-14T08:02:50.091+01:002012-01-14T08:02:50.091+01:00Nice insights!

Looks to me that the average daily download trendline was flat until ~mango release timeframe and it's obviously looking up since about October. Obviously you had your own huge updates during that timeframe, but looking at the graph it's easier to argue that Mango had an impact than that it hadn't, imho :)Alan Mendelevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346906132949059862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563071785757928434.post-43173584524699806872012-01-13T22:49:55.061+01:002012-01-13T22:49:55.061+01:00I also have a couple of other apps where I use tha...I also have a couple of other apps where I use that model you describe (free+ad and paid version). Works great for certain apps like http://bit.ly/HeliumVoiceFree.

Optionally, you can put advertising in the free app (both for revenue and to give another reason to upgrade). I had posted a blog on the combination of trial/paid and free and in my specific scenario it made sense.You can see that entry here http://apps-are-people-too.blogspot.com/2011/06/increasing-app-sales-with-analytics.html My paid app does not have the numbers that yours does and so what made sense for me might be completely wrong for you.
