5 min readSep 11, 2019

AppCoins News Update, or ANU for short, is a regular bi-weekly update by the AppCoins team. As usual, we are going to cover dev updates, market reports, team members and upcoming events. This week, we’ve focused on further developing the referrals program, improving our new SDK Demo App, and more! Also, we are headed to the Unite Copenhagen 2019 event later this month.

On this ANU, we’ll give you an update on the latest developments of new features, and share a little of what’s about to come in the next release.

New Billing SDK Demo App

As part of the development of our solutions, we usually work on providing a sample of the integration process together with the respective documentation. The new billing SDK won’t be an exception.

In the last weeks, we’ve been testing the sample and working on improving the documentation to go with it. This way, you can easily check out the solution status and know how to do the same in your application. It won’t be long until the new version of our billing sample is available, so stay tuned to be one of the first to check it out.

Referrals Program

As we’ve mentioned in our last couple of ANU’s, we are working on the next big feature that will be available in the AppCoins Wallet. The referrals feature is already in its final stages of development and testing phases have already begun. Get ready, because soon you’ll be able to spread the message on the AppCoins Wallet.

Besides the referral program, we are making additional improvements in features, including the interface of the Wallet. We consider this to be an ongoing process since our goal is to keep delivering the best product possible.

Top Up

When it comes to our Top Up feature, we’re working to make it even better. Since we consider there is always room for improvement, we are currently working on showing pre-defined values of the Top Up for the most common values. This way, we can provide a more seamless interaction with the selection of the amount that will be “Topped Up.”

Settings Screen

We’ve wanted to do a re-make of the setting screen for quite a while now. Although this may be something small that can be overlooked, in our opinion, the settings screen has been missing an improvement on its design. Since we are going to add a new feature that will be available in the settings, we took the time to improve it. That said, here’s a challenge for you: in our next release, when checking out our settings screen, try to find out what’s new in there. Let us know what you’ve found by leaving a comment below ;)

Following last month’s protocol KPIs performance, on this ANU we have collected the values from August, regarding both flows using AppCoins, IAP and User Acquisition, the number of apps downloaded with the integration of AppCoins, as well as indicators from the SDK, as the table shows below.

As always, you’re invited to follow our work regarding all of the products we’re working on:
