Consider trading (as part of your currency monetization roadmap) and game preferences and backup (for monetizing on Android and older iOS devices)

[pigeon_protect]Key Takeaways:

  • Closely review the App Performance options that will help monetization on Android and older devices on iOS (where these settings can have a real impact on game performances)
  • Go deep on personalization options. In the tutorial flow, impatient players who can’t wait can easily SKIP the tutorial. Players who love a great story can go through the entire tutorial experience
  • Consider giving very loyal players both a daily and total number of days free coin bonus to drive retention
  • Build a trading system to increase economy liquidity for apps with more complicated currency systems … or if you start to release event-specific currencies
