Celebration time.
1 Radio News has crossed the 100,000 download mark. Thank you listeners.
Out of over 3 million apps on Google Play, here is where we sit.
Not bad for a “bootstrapped” niche radio news app. Bootstrapped means self-funded. We pay for improvements based on earned revenue from unobtrusive ads and sales of our 1 Radio News Pro app with more features, shows, and stations. Downloads are organic and there is no cash burn from venture funds. We are laser focused on our users who make this app possible.
With other audio news/spoken word/podcast “mixing” apps attracting millions in investment or being bought up by Google with fewer than 10,000 Android downloads, I guess we should let it be known that we do see an opportunity to go big with a 3rd generation design, adding additional languages, and launching buy xanax nj some country specific versions in places like India.
Our niche is helping listeners quickly get the global news of the hour or day on-demand and then sending them to our favorite live news station. Our ratings and downloads suggest we are doing it better than other radio news apps even if our simple design looks like it could use an uplift. Whether it is crowdfunding or taking on investors for a major design/feature boost for Android or taking our whiz bang iOS prototype across the finish line, let us know what you think or suggest how we can work together to get to a million downloads and beyond.
P.S. Retention and daily use matters more than downloads. According to our app peers in various online groups, we have an extremely high 30 day retention rate.
