Bit of market research

[go6 game]

Hi

As an android apps developer I would be very interested to get some feedback on the following points:

1. Do you find it easy to discover new apps on the Android Market?

2. Do you rely on recommendations or do you search categories to find new games?

3. What is the most annoying problem with a new game e.g. force close, poor graphics?

4. Do you read the instructions on how to play or just Wing it?

5. When would you pay for a game? (Other than mobile versions of best selling PC/PSP etc games).

6. Do you play games where multiplayer involves passing the handset round?

7. Do you prefer single player or multiplayer games?

8. Where do you download most of your games i.e. Android market, Amazon, GetJar?

9. Do you like games where you can upload your scores to Facebook or other websites?

10. Do you recommend games you like to friends?


Thanks for your patience - I'm sure a lot of developers would love to know this stuff and maybe improve user experiences!

Not really. Just by clicking on "top new paid/free", but otherwise new stuff is hard to find.

2. Do you rely on recommendations or do you search categories to find new games?

I usually search categories for new stuff.

3. What is the most annoying problem with a new game e.g. force close, poor graphics?

The graphics would be my #1.

4. Do you read the instructions on how to play or just Wing it?

Instructions first. Even with video games, the first thing I do is look at the controls.

5. When would you pay for a game? (Other than mobile versions of best selling PC/PSP etc games).

If the reviews are just outstanding across the board and it's a can't miss game, then I'll buy it.

6. Do you play games where multiplayer involves passing the handset round?

No. I hate relying on others to play the game/complete the objective.

7. Do you prefer single player or multiplayer games?

Single player

8. Where do you download most of your games i.e. Android market, Amazon, GetJar?

Android Market

9. Do you like games where you can upload your scores to Facebook or other websites?

Nah not really. I don't think I've ever shared a score on Facebook before.

10. Do you recommend games you like to friends?

Yes, if I enjoy something I'll spread the word to friends.
