Recently I have started my own hobby app on the side to make sure my programming is still up to date and to scratch that product itch. In the process, I have found something to be really useful and would like to share with you guys.
To put it simply, it's the app version of get out of the building and talk to your users (http://theleanstartup.com/). What I did is pretty simple, I included Admob (or any other Ad SDK with house ads capability) and linked it to a survey monkey form.
Here are the questions I asked
1. Tell me about why you downloaded Favalert?
2. Which new feature sounds the most important for you?
3. On a scale of zero to 10, how likely are you to refer Favalert to a friend?
Download
4. Is there anything else youd like to share?
5. If you want us to contact you regarding your suggestions, please leave your email address.

Survey
The questions 1 and 2 really provided great insights into who was using my app, and why. Qns 2 especially allowed me to quickly test app ideas (often from suggestions in qns 4) with the group and based on popularity, I could start building and charging for IAP.
Favalert is doing great for retention and purchases though total downloads could be better. The feedback continue to surprise me with every survey response.
If you guys have any ideas to get great feedback from users, lets discuss it here! I am also looking for more ideas for my apps so if you have any, do let me know!
