Installs are turning into real usage.

Google paid drove 9,633 installs in the last 30 days — but the real story is what happens next. Device acquisitions, first opens, and new wallets are all climbing together: activation, not just acquisition.

Conversion optimization · App store image tests

A 2-point lift — and this is just test #1.

Our first store-listing image test moved install conversion from 22% to 24%— on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. That’s the floor, not the ceiling: more tests are already queued, and every win stacks on this one.
