There seems to be an app out there for everything, from checking your finances to playing games with friends. As the app marketplace grows increasingly competitive, it’s smart to figure out which app features will motivate your target audience to hit the download button.

In today’s PickFu poll, an app developer asks 50 people which feature would push them to download an app:

• Option A: An app to search for bars/pubs based on musical atmosphere
• Option B: An app to let you choose which songs will be played in a bar/pub
• Option C: An app that helps you to discover which songs are being played in a bar/pub and save them to your Spotify playlists or buy them on iTunes.

Can you guess which one won?

As we head towards summer weather, many are thinking about losing weight and increasing their fitness levels. Many rely on fitness apps to help them. App design plays a big part in whether we download an app or keep browsing the App Store.

The creator of this PickFu poll evaluated two different app designs for a fitness app, asking the audience which they would prefer to download.

Option A features teal for its pop of color, while Option B uses pink for its different headings. There are also some differences in how the content is laid out across the app. Can you guess which one won?

Split testing with PickFu is useful for deciding between design aspects of your app or website, but it’s also effective for validating any new mobile app game ideas you have. Before investing too much time or money into a new game concept, you can create a PickFu poll to find out how well your idea is received by an audience.

That’s exactly what the creator of this poll did, showcasing screenshots of two different mobile games and asking which one the audience would be more likely to play. 

Both games are idle role-playing games and show two sides battling in an open environment. Option A has a darker background with cartoon-style characters, while Option B has a brighter background with more realistic characters. 

When creating a new mobile app, it’s easy to get caught up in the big choices, like the logo or brand colors. But as you get further along in development, it’s time to test app design details.    

For example, the creator of an app called HappySeller already had most of the design completed. In this PickFu poll, they simply tested two different colors for the bottom navigation bar. 

The navigation bar is dark gray in Option A and light gray in Option B, while all the other details in the app design are the same. After taking a look at both options, can you guess which design won? 

Choosing a name for your new mobile game is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Like all business names, a good app name should be easy to say, memorable, and reflective of the game you are creating. You want to hint towards what your game is without being too obvious. Most importantly, the name of the game must be appealing enough to convince users to download it. So how to pick the perfect app name? Take a look at what this developer did.

The mobile game company in this PickFu poll wanted to know, based solely on the app name, which option respondents would more likely to download. The developer polled 50 users, all of whom self-identified as mobile gamers.

Option A was Idle Realm, while Option B was Idle Domain. Can you guess which mobile game name was more popular with the gamers in this poll? 

With a massive number of mobile games available to download, first impressions are critical. Showing your mobile app name ideas to players before launching in the App Store is smart.

The game creator in this PickFu poll ran a split test of two possible app names. They targeted an audience of 50 respondents who play mobile games on either an iPhone or Android device. 

These respondents chose between Option A, Moe Moe Girls, and Option B, Zombie Girls.
