Meal Time For Pets

iOS Application
Project Overview
Meal Time For Pets is an iOS App created by my fiancé and myself. After our vet recommended we switch our dogs to 3 meals a day we had trouble remembering if they had been fed. Our little Chiweenie, Daisy, would frequently try to trick us into feeding them a 4th time so we also needed a way to make sure they weren’t being overfed. So we created an iOS App, Meal Time For Pets, with the features we needed ourselves hoping it would be beneficial to others as well. Meal Time For Pets can be found on the App Store.

Instagram Ad Promotion Insights

Instagram Ad

Between January and July 2021 we’ve run two different types of ads in efforts to increase the number of app unit downloads. In March 2021 we ran an ad through the Meal Time For Pets Instagram page. The ad received 79 profile visits, 15 website (App Store) taps, and reached 7,239 people, but only resulted in 5 more downloads from the previous month. The Instagram ad only ran for a month due to the very low ROI.

App Store Ad

Over the months of May, June, and July we’ve been running an ad through the App Store itself and have seen consistent growth in the number of app units downloaded. We may revisit Instagram ads in the future once we’re able to grow the account a bit more, but for now our strategy is to stick to App Store ads due to the ROI being far better.
