Wondering if developers use ads or better ways to drive app downloads.

I just launched my app Stonk on the App Store and spent $100 on ads but haven’t seen any downloads. I’m curious if others rely on the same strategies or if bigger ad budgets work better. Marketing has been challenging, so I’d appreciate advice on how to advertise more effectively.

Just launched my app Stonk spent 100 dollars on ads with zero downloads seeking proven App Store marketing strategies from fellow developers.

I asked Gemini about marketing a free iOS app two weeks ago, and it said Product Hunt is the one to use. You have to keep your account for at least one week to have your app profile posted if I remember correctly. What they do is publish a new letter every day, which will be sent out to subscribers, I think, to feature software products. I haven't had my iOS posted there. So don't trust me and take my word for it.
