Hi Pierre, thanks for your new inspirational article and your previous one. I have 3 kids and attempted the educational apps market 2 years ago, I didn't have nearly as much success as you. My games are not pure education either, so maybe that's my issue, but they are more educational than my competitors. Do you have any specific advice for my situation? Congrats to you!

kid's game market (not "purely" educational) is more competitive, and you have to fight with big players like toca boca/disney/nickelodeon. So you have to innovate even more. I've seen great apps disapearing from the charts in 2 weeks. Did you try free with not consumable IAP ? Did you try to work on your keywords ?

I have my top two games Wood Puzzler and Exotic Pet Puzzler in the education category, they are geared towards learning the alphabet and have lots of extras. I recently tried keyword stuffing the title as I've seen others doing, but it hasn't had any affect. Both those games have paid and free-with-IAP, which works well. My most recent game below, we've done tons of free/paid marketing and cannot penetrate at all, maybe 1-3 sales per day. Thanks again.
