I am relatively new to programming. I have been programming with Java and Android for about 2 years now and just recently released my first app to the Google Play app store.

I have passed the word on to everyone I know and posted a few times on Facebook about it. But I am not really seeing anyone install them.

I love to code I'm not looking to have the next big time app, but it would be nice to get some installs and feedback/ratings so I can get an idea of how well its doing and if there are any fixes or improvements I can make.

I thought about doing an AdMob campaign a couple times here and there at about $10 to $20 per day. But I'm not sure if that will generate any kind of worthwhile feedback.

What other things could I be doing in order to get some feedback on my application?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
