Apptimize is unique in the sense that it allows you to build small visual experiments on things such as buttons, colors, or images or large experiments on the usefulness of entire new modules or user flows. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're looking to increase the number of subscriptions purchased in the app, increase the tenure of our already existing subscribers, and improving many in-app experiences and products. We also have used apptimize to test push notifications in order to increase the percentage of users who are opted in. ### 3. Great tool, Great Relationships **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex Q. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** Apptimize provides a great tool for native mobile (iOS, Android) A/B testing. There are several benefits of the tool: 1) setting up your own test success metrics and funnels. Apptimize allows developers to designate success metrics for each test and then provides the dashboard to make it easy to compare those metrics across variants. 2) Managing tests. Ramp tests up, turn tests off, turn tests on. Feature flags. It's all there and they continue to invest and improve 3) Relationships. Apptimize invests in their customers, listens to our feedback and offers advice on our ab testing strategy. **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** It's important to monitor your app performance after implementing Apptimize. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** A/B testing and feature rollout on native mobile apps. ### 4. Great product & tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2018 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** The fact it's native and so easy to manage makes it a must-have tool for our business. **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** Probably the funnel analysis and views that we use to comprehend the data. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Trying to increase conversion for our product. ### 5. Super easy, powerful and insightful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen H. | Senior Product Manager - Growth, E-Learning, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** It provides huge flexibility when running multiple experiments, preparing them and previewing them in both development and production environments on iOS and Android. We've released plenty behind feature flags which is really great for us to target and optimize experiences from CRM campaigns, to deep functionality as well as testing new ideas and validating them quickly. **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** The dashboard could do with some work. It would be great to have a quick overview of all my environments so i can see what is happening at a glance rather than have to go into each environment. **Recommendations to others considering Apptimize:** It's powerful, reliable and most importantly provides valuable insights that are actually actionable. Fantastic service level too. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rapid experimentation and growth hacks are fundamental to the growth of our business. We need to be able to test fast and implement winning experiments or kill failing ones quickly. It's all about cadence and it's allowed us to grow a culture of experimentation and optimisation inside our business. ### 6. Really Powerful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim O. | Vice President of Product Management, Internet, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2017 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** Easy to get set up and use, awesome to be able to create tests without updating the browser (after the initial Apptimize-enabled version is deployed). **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** I wish it had support for A/B tests for our web UI. We ended up subscribing to Optimizely to perform that task. **Recommendations to others considering Apptimize:** make sure that you have figured out how you want to handle analytics, push notifications, install attribution, and web experiments - there are a lot of vendors with overlapping products in these areas. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** This has helped us identify the impact of changes we are making to our apps - both to the retention and usage of the apps. It also helps us incrementally roll out new features to ensure that things are working well before all of our users get the new features. ### 7. Too big to fail **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex C. | Mobile Technology Lead, Research, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** Integration is easy, and product loves the newly obtained freedom to experiment **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** Using Apptimize reduced the percentage of non-crash users **Recommendations to others considering Apptimize:** Please understand that you bundle a sophisticated engine into your app. This will inflate your APK, perform network communications, and sometimes crash in the ways that are out of your control. The flexibility that this SDK promises may clash with fancy custom widgets that your programmers developed. Note that you cannot use only part of this SDK, it's all or nothing. Even if you only want to get some analytics, or perform demographic A/B test of a text message, you must package full Apptimize with your app, and bear the full consequences. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Apptimize is promised to help us separate product decisions from development decisions. **Official Response from Varun Rathi:** > Hi Alex, Thank you for taking the time to write a review Apptimize on G2 Crowd. Based on your review, we were wondering if you truly meant to give us a 0/5 rating or if it was an accident. If it was accidental, we will be very grateful if you take a moment to update your rating. If it wasn't accidental, please let us know how we can make things better for you. We are a lean marketing team, and we rely a lot on word-of-mouth and referrals from customers to grow. We are always happy to use constructive feedback from users to guide our product roadmap. Sincerely, Varun Rathi ### 8. Apptimize offers great service while giving you what you need in A/B testing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2017 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** I like the responsiveness and the quality of support. Questions are addressed in timely manner, and the Apptimize team genuinely want to see us to realize the benefits of A/B testing. The service team actually performed tests for us to show what kind of benefit we could be seeing. **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** Integration with m-particle is limited. Ability to map user based actions to user behaviors is somewhat limited. User interface has been buggy. The startup cost outweighs the usage, want a full service solution, I don't want to have to admin the campaigns, just want to see results for the service we pay for. **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have found just by switching the text on a few buttons and fields we were able to dramatically change user behavior. ### 9.

Apptimize is used for real-time changes to the our apps behavior, as well as A/B testing features **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2016 **What do you like best about Apptimize?** The available SDKs for iOS and Android platforms. Web-based managment console. Price to feature ratio. **What do you dislike about Apptimize?** The real-time changes that we can deploy are acutally limited in the scope - so, not all of our original goals can be met with this tool. Also, we have to plan in advance what sections of parts of our app we would like to change, and only after that we can start using this feature, which means that there is a lag/delay between the time that we want to change something and the time when it actually becomes a reality. For example, with our sprint structure this delay can be as long as 3 - 4 weeks. **Recommendations to others considering Apptimize:** Negotiate your custom long term price **What problems is Apptimize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our main goal with Apptimize is to tailor our application and its particular modules/features to the precise needs of our users. So, far we seen most benefts from the A/B testing. ### 15.
