A Powerful and Detailed Editor

The PC version of the editor will be even more advanced than in mobile. You’ll be able to customize:

  • A thematic icon set (unique options for each type of software);

  • Icon style: Abstract, 2D, or 3D;

  • Icon color or gradient;

  • Background color or gradient.

Choose a name, version, platform, and monetization model — then release your apps to the global market.

Monetization and Balance

You’ll have 4 monetization options to choose from:

  1. Completely free;

  2. With ads;

  3. With in-app purchases;

  4. Ads + in-app purchases.

Your choice directly affects both revenue and user ratings. Aggressive monetization may hurt your reviews, but if your app is popular and well-rated, the effect is much less noticeable. Striking the right balance is key. Steam post image

Updates and “App Status”

You’ll need to regularly update your applications to attract more users and avoid sudden bugs that may lower your rating. To make this easier, we’ve added an “App Status” system — monitor it closely to prevent negative reviews.

Detailed Statistics

Each application now comes with in-depth stats, including:

  • Total downloads;

  • Global ranking;

  • Average user rating;

  • Daily active users (DAU);

  • Income and expenses;

  • Current app status;

  • Days since the last update.
