We are QuickBits,

a team of 3 passionate people about making games, among us there are 2 developers and 1 designer, all of us being beginners in the game industry.

We have dedicated around 1 month creating our first mobile app from scratch: Guess The Crypto, an app about guessing the name of cryptocurrencies displayed on the screen. The player would need to fill in the letters and if the answer was correct, he receives hints and goes on to the next level. Hints can be used to fill in a correct letter for the answer. A few in-game screenshots have been attached to this post for more context.

When we first launched the app, we implemented three types of ads: Banner Ads, Interstitial Ads (between each level) and Rewarded Ads (for getting extra hints). But after user feedback, we have decided to remove the Banner Ads and Interstitial Ads since they were very annoying and also generated a lot less revenue for them to be worth it.

Now, let's talk about numbers.

We originally published the app on August 31st.

Using Google Play Statistics, we see that our app has been downloaded 21 times.

Most of these downloads have been Romania since that's the country we're situated and a large part of the downloads came from us showing the app to our friends and family.

From these downloads, we have generated a total of 439 AdMob Ad Requests with a total of 268 Impressions. Let's break it down by ad type:

- Banner Ads: 149 Impressions, (Revenue: 0.05 RON / 0.01$)

- Interstitial Ads: 97 Impressions (Revenue: 0.10 RON / 0.02$)

- Rewarded Ads: 22 Impressions (Revenue: 0.16 RON / 0.04$)

This puts our Total Revenue at 0.31 RON / 0.07$

Below you can see a more detailed report of our AdMob Revenue. 

From this we have concluded that Banner Ads and Interstitial Ads are not worth showing just to generate a little bit of extra income since just a few Rewarded Ads far beat the other two combined.

Hope you have enjoyed this breakdown of the revenue of our first mobile app .
