Calling all app developers - Free Promotion

[nosaj_j]

*** Update ***​

We launched just a week ago and have successfully promoted 46 quality apps, most of which were found in the forum. On average we saw 1000 daily active users who clicked through 50,000 times.

We are still on the hunt for quality, so if you think that your app is good enough just let us know. If you haven't already don't forget to follow us on twitter https://twitter.com/tweet2spotlight

**********************************​

1. Have you released an app and can't find it on the new and rising list?

2. Do you struggle to understand with web wrappers gaining traction and reviews, pushing them up the charts?

3. Frustrated by developers gaming the system by imitating somebody else's work?

Well I have been there personally and the professionally within the company that I work for. To help with this my company is releasing an app called spotlight in the next two weeks.

Spotlight will highlight 20 quality apps to its users everyday. By doing this we hope that our fellow developers will get the recognition that they deserve, as well as make it easier for users to find the best apps on the platform.

If you would like us to highlight your app on spotlight, let us know by email info@nativly.co . Inclusion of your app on spotlight is completely free!!

We judge the quality of apps by the similar criteria set out by the windows phone team.

*Utility
*Enjoyment

Hi Viktor

I have received your mail, and have put your app on the list for review.

 

[Maitrikkataria]

This is a nice initiative. We develop a lot of WP apps in a month. Although, I cannot personally do promotion as we work under NDA, But I will refer all of my clients to your email.

It is great to see such proactive initiatives from WP developers. :smile:

 

[Udara Alwis]

Now thats an awesome idea ! Will surely mail you. Thank you for this service.

Just a quick update.

Spotlight will launch on 14th July 8:00am GMT. When we publish the spotlight, it will normally take a couple of hours for it to start showing in search, so be sure follow us https://twitter.com/tweet2spotlight as we will post a direct link to download it.
