95% of our traffic is organic so it's not anything to do with marketing. I think it's just that we're ranked much higher in the Play Store than we are in the App Store atm. The iOS App Store is much more competitive (in our niche) and we haven't yet cracked the ranking algorithm :D.

Cool! Glad you're enjoying the app. I'll get that timer looked at ;)

Good question! Per user we make about 1/2 as much on Android compared to iOS, but we're currently getting 2x traffic on Android so it's pretty much a 50/50 split ~$20k each.

If you or someone you know is interested we’d love to hear from you.

Cool yea we'll need a web app soon and i think going with Next.js and React will be a no brainer. I'm really interested in companies that do this at scale though. What's the downside? Why doesn't everyone do it?
