Pretty self explanatory...Which day of the week does the App Store get the most traffic?

I run into this dilemma every time I release an app. Anybody have raw statistics and not jus开发者_StackOverflow中文版t anecdotes?

Edit I'm referring to actual App Store visitor traffic. I'm trying to maximize views as a new release. Don't have a lot of marketing budget so those early days count.

I can't imagine why this is really much of a dilemma that you run into every time you release an app.
I really don't feel this is the kind of thing you should be worried about if your goal is to actually increase the appeal of your app. There are so many more important and more consistent variables, especially compared to the small handful of potential browsers that this kind of "optimization" might bring you.

Here are some more important things to concern yourself with:

1. The quality of your app.

2. See number one.

...oh yeah, and also see The Guide to App Store Marketing for more pro tips.

Only Apple have the real numbers. Developers might be able to tell you which days they get the most sales on, but this isn't quite the same as where the traffic comes from.

Anecdotally, it seems that the days you get most of your sales depends on the type of app. Games do better on weekends and holidays. My apps (social networking) are pretty consistent across the whole week.

There is no universal best day of the week for apps. The target audience for one type of app will have a different schedule with respect to people interested into different kind of apps.

For a particular app analyze the audience and their typical behavior and work out the best schedule for that given app. Expect to redo the work if you bring out a different app.

You are actually better off by monitoring the daily and weekly download/sales figures and use that numbers as a basis for timing an update. Users like updates to their apps and unless you have available an industrial size advertising budget then word of mouth tends to be the best bet.
