No, that's not 20k, just 20, but I'm still excited! I released this app last fall as an upgrade version to my Days Until app. It takes a lot longer for paid apps to get downloads than for free apps (obviously), so given that this is one of my paid apps, I'm pretty excited it's reached this milestone!  Days Until Free, No ads Days Until with Widget $0.99, No ads App preview video: 

I've only posted about app milestones for three months now, but this app has already come up twice! My Latitude and Longitude app has the fastest download rate of any app I've made yet. It hit its 5k milestone just two months ago, and now it's at 10k downloads!  Latitude and Longitude Free, No ads App preview video:

Another milestone was reached this month! I'll try to do these milestone posts monthly. Volume Button Counter Free, No ads App preview video:

I've been working with Kotlin for a while now, but I haven't started learning to use Jetpack Compose yet. Time to get started learning a new way to make the UI for Andriod apps! I'm excited! The Android team at Google put out a new FREE course as of April 2022: Android Basics with Compose:  https://developer.android.com/courses/android-basics-compose/course

  I made the original app while cashiering at Walmart (I took free Android classes through Udacity.com). I have heard from many people with math disabilities who say it has really helped! This update is to add $100, $50, and $2 for the Canadians out there. Enjoy!

I receive a lot of reviews of scorekeeper asking for the ability to edit the names of players, which is a feature already available through long-pressing on the player name. Apparently, long-pressing is not something intuitive to try for some people, so they are left without the ability to change the player name. I hope this video preview helps make it easier for users to understand how the app works and how to get to additional features already available to them.

This is my first published app built with Kotlin! :) Features: Use volume buttons to keep score for two teams Can reset to any scores you choose Available in 100 languages Code on GitHub .

This app got 25 downloads and a five-star review in its first week on the Google Play Store! Code on GitHub

My Scorekeeper download stats show a consistent spike every Saturday, and big spikes around Christmas and New Year's. I wouldn't have predicted it, but it totally makes sense that people would play more games on weekends and holidays. 

A quick overview of uploading to the Google Play Store. This is as of December 2018. Some things have changed since I uploaded my first app in July 2017, but overall the process is still very similar.  Even though things will probably change a bit if you are watching this months in the future, I thought it would be worth it to make a quick video.
