what makes an iOS user buy an app from the App Store? Well, it’s mostly the title, price and reviews.

There are over 650,000 apps currently available in the iOS App Store and it’s really difficult to get your app noticed unless Apple gives you a little push. Developers usually include certain terms after the title, such as Free, Lite or HD, to get their app noticed.
