Just check the download count of my second App and I was surprise that none came from Nigeria. See screen shot below

may be it is because it is not in English

Javanian: may be it is because it is not in English

I think the store listing header information is in Swedish but the application name and description is in English. I have checked with my phone and laptop. I don't think it is much of a reason because there were still downloads from UK and USA.

Reason: more than 70% Android users in Nigeria uses VPN applications. So location will reflect the server they are connected to.

Nice apps! My app is 90% done for the challenge.

My 3rd Android App is also going to the MTN Challenge. Nice works guyz... I look forward to more Android App Developers in Nigeria

I could not tried the installation you are talking about since my operating system is Windows Vista so I am sure if I can help you out but I hope others that are using windows 8 will do.

All the best

I have some questions for you about MTN app store

1. I have not used MTN App store before but I am planning to use it for my current app. The problem I have seen on their app store is that there is no download count for each app for users to see just only review.

2. Do your app get many downloads from their store?

3. Is their apps basically download by Nigerians and Africans?

4. Do major percentage of Nigerians pay for apps in their store.

I look forward for your reply and I hope that this information will help others planning to launch their apps

True.

2. Do your app get many downloads from their store?

PlayStore is a better option

3. Is their apps basically download by Nigerians and Africans?

MTN users ONLY!

4. Do major percentage of Nigerians pay for apps in their store.

Do Nigerians ever pay for apps

MTN app store is a total waste of time...Use Google PlayStore for all your apps...

This is very insightful. Thanks for breaking it down in a perfect way.

@nollyj

Javanian has answered all your questions,you get download counts for your application via user control panel,few Nigerians pay for commercial app,i
applied for the MTN Store just for the fun of uploading my apps for people to download then probably the 'MTN App Challenge',the best place to upload your android is Google PlayStore.

People tends to download free apps then you to be MTN user because it will automatically download/install MTN Store App to your device.

Hope I'm not digressing from the main topic, but I guess I could get help here, please the Android Virtual Device takes eternity to load, any solutions to this? and nollyj, do you use the Android Virtual Device, or you test on a physical device straightaway?

Delete the AVD and create another one, increase your RAM depending on the hard disk. If it's still slow reduce the "target" to a lower android version instead of Jellybean V.17. you can create 2 Vitual Devices with different targets to try both and see the speed. Keep on trying things until it get better.

The only option in the target drop down box is Android 4.2.2 - API Level 17.... no other option

AVD is always slow and the system I am using is not as fast as I would have wish. So I usually test with my android device and occasionally test with AVD.

Try what GideonG has recommended.

Info to everyone that's planning on applying for MTN NextApp Challenge

According to what i there reps said at the Info Session at CCHub, your app should only be found on the nextapps.mtnonline.com at least for the period of the competition. You app shouldn't be on Google's Play store or any other store.

I could not found any link in their website that supports this claim.

+100000

It is your intelectual property and you can put it in hell if you like.

Hy guys, the fact that its bad new doesn't make it wrong, at least you a signing up with d terms and condition by participating in d competition.

Ok, let me ask dis question; For paid apps, how is d percentage sharing between MTN and d developer.
Anybody?

DharkPoet:

the available AVD versions are
tied to the system images that you have installed via the SDK manager.
For example, you can see ARM EABI v7aSystem Image, Intel x86 Atom System Image, and MIPS System Image under Android 4.2 (API17) in the SDK manager. So i think you should download the images for other versions.

Almost 50 downloads and no review. Sounds funny

Nice ideas all you need is a great UI and a well thought out User experience that is fun and engaging. Kudos for the effort.
