The tools you need to monitor, optimize, and get more downloads.

There's a lot of demand for apps right now, so it's a really great time to give it a try. It's easier than you think.

The folks at Appfigures have easy step-by-step guides and intuitive tools to do that, which many indie developers are using to get more downloads:
