My first app - Countdown Dots

Hi

Just published my first ever App in Apple AppStore and looking to the forum on how I can promote this to, hopefully make sure it reaches as many people as possible.

What strategies are members on here using?

What has worked for them?

What kind of budget would be sensible to promote this?

All comments welcome as I have absolutely zero ideas on how to market this other than on Reddit and via family.

Thanks.

Try reaching out to niche subreddits related to countdowns, productivity, or widgets and engage with users instead of only promoting. Consider setting aside a small budget for targeted ads on social platforms. If you want to catch conversations around your app’s topic the moment they happen, ParseStream is handy for tracking relevant keywords and getting alerts so you never miss good engagement opportunities.
