Experiments

Know which changes worked. Every listing change Fload ships is measured against the store's own data, and each one ends with a clear result: keep it, wait for more data, or roll it back.


How it works

  1. 1

    You approve

    A change in your inbox, like new keywords or a new language.

  2. 2

    It goes live

    The experiment opens when the store confirms the change, not when you approved it.

  3. 3

    Fload waits

    Each read uses the store's complete numbers for the whole window, plus one day.

  4. 4

    You get the result

    In the experiment, in your weekly update and, if it hurt, as a rollback proposal.

German subtitle live
Subtitle and keywords, in German. More of the people who tap your ad install, so each paid download costs less from the same budget.

Results

ResultWhat it means
KeptNo harm found. The change stays
No clear effectThe change didn't move things either way
Not enough dataToo little traffic to tell
Other changes in the waySomething else changed at the same time, such as ad spend, so the result can't be pinned on this change
Rollback recommendedThe change hurt. Fload proposes undoing it

A rollback is always a proposal you approve, never automatic. On Google Play, an approved rollback is made by hand.


Where to see them

Open Experiments in the sidebar. Experiments are grouped as Active, Pending and Past. Each one shows what changed, when it went live, how far the measurement has got and its result.

Experiments are read-only: you act on them through your inbox.
