On October 27, Apple announced that an exciting new feature, In-App Events, officially went live. Developers can create in-app events to highlight special, limited-time activities and promotions within their apps, with Apple giving them extra promotion within the App Store.
It’s proving to be an important element for app & game publishers to consider in their App Store Optimization (ASO) efforts, as in-app events take up prominent real estate in searches and elsewhere in the App Store UI.
But not only developers are excited about this new feature for engaging existing users & recruiting new downloads; many users are curious what types of events they’ll see on the App Store.
Whether you’re seeking inspiration for what kind of events to launch, or just searching for interesting activities to keep you busy during the holidays, we’ve got you covered – here are five great examples (in our mind), for using and leveraging In-App Events.

1. DOWN Dating App: NYE Date: Chat, Meet, Hookup!
As a top 20 dating app in the US (by downloads), DOWN Dating App is showing that they take users’ safety seriously.
They’ve launched an event to encourage users to verify their profiles. For those who are verified, DOWN will reward them with a free “Flirt” to use every day, which is a premium feature. Users can use Flirts to stand out to the singles nearby, sending one of several fun & flirty pickup lines directly to the inbox of whichever profile is at the top of their Christmas list. Users who send Flirts see much higher match and response rates from prospective lovers, so it’s a valuable prize!
By doing so, DOWN is keeping their app safe, ensuring there are fewer fake accounts, and also giving users an opportunity to try out a premium feature.
