Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,447 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Alex Genadinik's course is a 6.2 hour tour of getting an app noticed and paid for. It starts with app store optimization, which gets the biggest block of time, then moves through launching, in-app virality, influencer and YouTube marketing, Google and Apple search ads, and several ways to make money. Genadinik is an indie app founder with a book on the subject, and the course leans on that. It is aimed at app entrepreneurs and developers, and reviewers say a beginner can follow it without trouble.

Students like the pace and the practical bits. Reviewers mention lectures with a lot of meat, a planning sheet that clarifies goals, and specific advice on naming a new app. The complaints repeat, though. Several say the material is old, with store and tool screens that no longer match the videos. One reviewer found nothing on AI despite the 2026 title. Others say some ideas get explained too many times, that later chapters feel rushed, and that the ASO itself stays shallow.

The sample is friendly. About 1,340 of 2,447 ratings are five stars, the average is 4.5, and roughly 21,800 students have enrolled. The lower ratings mostly ask for more depth. The course was last updated in July 2026, but the complaints about older screens and missing AI coverage in this sample all predate that update. For a short, broad overview of ASO plus the business side, it is a fair pick. Anyone with real SEO or ASO experience will probably find it thin.

Best forIndie app makers and app developers who want ASO basics plus monetization and business planning in one short course.
Skip it ifYou already do ASO and want deep keyword research, or need current AI-era tactics and up-to-date store screens.

Pros

  • Covers ASO, launch, ads, influencers and monetization in about six hours
  • Planning sheet and worksheets help students set clear goals for their app
  • Instructor answers questions through Zoom office hours and in-course messages
  • Reviewers call it clear and easy to follow for a beginner

Cons

  • Reviewers say parts are dated, with store and tool screens that no longer match
  • ASO depth is limited, and later chapters feel rushed with few real examples
  • One reviewer says the instructor repeats the same ideas at length
I'm about 15% of the way thru this course and from the very first lecture I found useful information. The lecturer keeps you interested and engaged.
Steven Hinaga, a student

Beginners are fine, since the only listed requirement is wanting to grow an app business. Experienced marketers will find it basic.

WHAT MAKES THIS APP PROMOTION COURSE SPECIAL


The course shows you how to create a real business out of your app. I realize that you may be excited about your app idea, and rush to have it built as soon as possible. But as an app entrepreneur, you need to understand what it takes to make your app a real business that's profitable and makes money. 

This course teaches you about app business models, high-level business strategies, and app business planning.

This is what makes this course special! This course will make you a stronger app entrepreneur. 


INSTRUCTOR BACKGROUND


My apps have 2,000,000+ cumulative downloads that I got for free in a 99% passive way. My income from apps is 99% passive as well.

My book on mobile app business has been the #1 book on this topic on Amazon for the last few years, and it is used by a few universities and high schools across the country.

My app ranked #1 for the search "business" on Android for a number of years, and many of my apps dominate their search rankings in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. 

In this app promotion course, I'll teach you the insights and secrets I learned while growing my own mobile app business. Everything I teach in this course is something I have done and tried myself. 

I've been an entrepreneur for 20+ years, have coached 1,000+ entrepreneurs in person, taught 850,000+ students, impacted millions of entrepreneurs worldwide, creating 6 and 7-figure businesses in the process, and I would love to help you.

I'm about 15% of the way thru this course and from the very first lecture I found useful information. The lecturer keeps you interested and engaged. The lectures have a lot of meat and moves quickly. I often have to pause it because I want to make notes.

By Aakash Asthana on 11/6/2024

i Suppose the materials used are good to understand but in depth part of the ASO is missing . It can be deeper than that and way more nitty gritties involved. Also, the chapter from 40 onwards were a little rushed, lacked real life examples. Overall decent but can be better.

By Ludovica Ianari on 8/21/2024

Corso interessante. Fornisce spunti di riflessione e delle competenze base a chi non ha mai affrontato queste tematiche. In alcuni casi un po' ripetitivo e alcune sezioni poco adatte a ciò che serviva a me. A parte questo, le spiegazioni sono chiare ed è molto comodo ed utile poter scaricare le risorse del corso.

By Martin Rost on 2/19/2022

This course is eye-opening. Thank you Alex for this very clear instructions. I learned a lot about ASO. Compared to other courses your course is very good structured and easy to follow. It is very clear and on-point. It goes straight to answering all questions of ASO and explaining how to change the own strategy. Helpful tips to start immediately. Very good examples and also entertaining - no boring or too long explanations.

By Siti Safiah Mohammad on 12/11/2019

I finished the course and I learnt a lot from the videos. The advice and tools that Alex shared helped clear a lot of things, especially if you already have an established app on playstore. I wish Alex could include more ASO tips for those really new to playstore/ no followers/ limited budget solo dev as well. I'd definitely come back (and do my revisions based on this course) when i'm doing ASO for my app.

By Robbin Singh on 11/26/2019

Good course till now had launched a travel social network app on play store name - OTraveli but was struggling to get downloads, now I have some strategy on how to get downloads and make the product more marketable. App link - https://bit.ly/35kpC1X

By Tony Munoz on 8/15/2019

Great content to start working on your strategies. This is a course that every App developer need to check out. I've been researching ASO/SEO strategists for ages, but this is the first place where all things are concentrated. 100% recommended​.

By ZdravkaLD on 7/16/2017

You get a lot of info presented in a concise way. The content is definitely targeted at single enterpreneurs or very small businesses. Presentation skills of the author can be improved but definitely the guy knows the business of app promotion.

By Kang Aroo on 4/7/2017

More "Tips" and general hot air, and less "how to". There's a ton of stuff in this course, and most of it is useless filler unfortunately. If you do have the patience, you can skim past the BS and find some useful information, but since it is scattered between hot air and filler content, you'll need attention and patience. This course should be half as long as it is, if that.

By Adrian Coaker on 1/4/2017

I have just completed my first mobile app and have already started putting into practice the teachings of the course. Alex is a good instructor, his explanations are clear and to the point. He takes you through everything from launching your app to maintaining your ASO, and interviews some experts in the field and discusses various tools on the market. This is an excellent course which will definitely improve your app marketing strategies.
