Why was Flappy Bird interesting but not good enough?

Flappy bird, the popular game which is now gone from the stores topped the charts after it became viral on android app store. While many installed the game but most of them could not even clear even a single obstacle and make the bird pass through. There were a lot of hate comments on techcrunch posts that talked about the app, especially when it’s developer announced that he is taking it down. While the game might have topped the charts, but there is an indication that many users did not like it. A day before the mobile app developer of flappy bird took it down, the game swiftly moved from the first spot to the 7th or 8th spot. You do not see such dramatic changes of app position unless there are a few factors involved.



One of the major variables that affects the ranking of an application is the speed of its download as well as the speed at which it is being uninstalled from the mobile device. Numerous app development company India believe that the time duration of an app installed in a device affects the ranking of an application. Seeing flappy bird’s fall by 7-8 position from the numero uno spot, it can be easily assessed that many users uninstalled it. Many users have been found saying that the game is difficult and frustrating. It is most possible that one can easily uninstall such an app from their mobile device.

Anyways this gives a hint that how the frequency of app download can be possibly connected to the overall app ranking of an application and how mobile app developers can make apps that amount to a high rate of downloads after being discovered substantially.
