Best UA platform on the market **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** Applovin is our top-spending UA source due to several factors: 1. A variety of automated campaigns which optimize towards ROAS targets and events instead of Installs. If the set target is right campaigns require minimal manual updates 2. With Applovin's probabalistic attribution it's very easy to analyze iOS campaigns 3. Data transparency - unlike some of its competitors, Applovin allows us to see where our ads are running 4. Easy campaign setup - it takes less than 5 minutes to create a brand new campaign and there's also an option to duplicate existing ones 5. Fast and easy creative testing **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** AppDiscovery by Applovin doesn't have any major issues. **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a gaming publisher, our company has a portfolio of games of different genres. Having a varity of optimization types in AppDiscovery by Applovin (i.e. adROAS, IAP ROAS, CPE etc) helps us to adapt UA strategy depending on the app and achieve better post-install performance. ### 2. UA platform has a user friendly, useful and successful interface, but it has some shortcomings. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** Ability to take action on all targeted countries in a single campaign set Quick and easy switching between SKAN and probabilistic data Useful and dynamic reports tab **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** No Ads library, so ads are added to one campaign and then copied to other campaigns Report field in Growth/Campaign tab is not suitable for customization The date field in the Growth/Campaign tab does not allow fixed filtering such as "yesterday" (which is available in the reports tab) Campaign status button is very prone to incorrect clicks Inability to see custom event postbacks on a cohort basis Inability to examine the overall performance of the a creative added more than one campaign due to different numbering on a campaign basis **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** Offers solutions to all problems in terms of campaign management ### 3. Most user friendly dashboard that I use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Online Media | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** I think the App Discovery is the best UI among all other dashboards I use. It's very easy to navigate and very easy to read data as well. Also it's nice to see have different reports for different means of data. **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** I think it would be nice to have some charts and graphs on the reporting section so that it would be easier to read certain types of data that requires us to see progression/cohorts. **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** For me the best part is that it shows real-time data on campaign reporting, which is a very big problem in mobile advertising and also an important aspect when analysing your data. ### 4. The dashboard is easy to use but there are some part to be improved. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** I like that we can do creative optimizations from dashboard easily or change budgets or goals. **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** We need to assign separate budgets for each countr targeted, instead it would be nice if we could allocate combine budget for bundle of countries. When uploading creatives, even though we make the naming correctly, we see the names differently on creatives main screen so we need to change it again. **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since we can apply the optimizations from dashboard easily, we don't need to wait for account managers to apply the changes that we wanted. ### 5. Easy to use dashboard **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** It's quite practical to use and it's easy to find what you search for. Also, the reporting part filters do not change after refreshing the page and it makes it easier to renew the data. **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** I don't like it when the creative naming changes after uploading it and the users need to update the naming on both the creative pages. **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's self operatable and the user can optimize their advertising campaings easily by themselves. ### 6. Good performance by finding quality users and expensive CPIs. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** Looking at the data in the country and ads breakdown separately is helpful. **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** It is hard to find a campaign. It would be better if there were a drop done menu under the filtering section where we see the campaign names. **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can easily make creative optimization. ### 7. User Friendly Experience & Easy Campaign Management **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2023 **What do you like best about AppDiscovery?** It is really easy to use, I can track the county, sources and ads performance easily. **What do you dislike about AppDiscovery?** Creative upload management is time consuming it would be better to upload one creative in all campaigns in one time. **What problems is AppDiscovery solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can track the performance easily ### 8.
