Frequently asked questions
What is the FOMO ASO strategy?
You can spot the FOMO strategy by its use of time and crowds: countdowns, limited drops, 'trending now' rows, live participant counts, or 'join millions' framing. The screenshot implies something is already happening that the viewer is currently outside of. It works where the product's value depends on timing or on other people being there, and reads as noise where it does not.
