HOT Apps
App stores rank by installs and reviews, which rewards apps that are already big. The HOT Apps board ranks by Heat, which gives a new app a straight route to the top of a page people actually browse.
Discovery for indie apps
You do not need store optimisation tricks or a review farm. You need a listing, a clear description and Heat behind it.
Your listing links directly to the store page or the web app, and the click count on the listing tells you whether the copy is working.
Sustained visibility, not a spike
Boosts run for the board duration and can be topped up whenever you have a release, an update or a campaign to support.
Pair the board with a public profile so people who find the app can also find the person behind it.
