Refund Saver got a major upgrade

We’ve shipped four big features to make Refund Saver even more powerful:

• Retry-friendly refund mode. You can now choose a more user-friendly refund policy: decline the first refund request, and grant the second one automatically.
• Consent-aware refunds. You can now define your refund policy on a per-user basis: opt-in or opt-out. Only process refunds for users who’ve explicitly opted in.
• Individual refund preferences. Set and update refund behavior. Let users trigger a stricter refund policy based on their actions in the app.
• Non-subscription support. Refund Saver now works with all types of in-app purchases, including consumables.

November brought some exciting updates to help you grow your revenue!

Refund Saver. It sends real-time data to Apple, making it easier to prevent unjustified refunds. Apps using it have dropped refund rates from 4% to 2.3%, saving thousands of dollars every month.

Adapty iOS SDK 3.2.0. It’s a big step forward – so much so, it could be called version 4.0. This update includes:

• Full StoreKit 2 support: it handles nearly all purchase types with ease.
• Swift 6 compatibility: fully supports the latest version of Swift.

Win-back offers. Bring back lapsed users by adding win-back offers directly to your paywalls. Fully supported with the latest SDK update (3.2.0).

Paywall Builder updates:

• Flutter SDK support, Unity coming soon.
• “View More Plans” button to guide user choices.
• Content tabs for better plan organization.
• Timer modes for limited-time offers.
• Underline & strikethrough text formatting.

Stay tuned for even more rich updates coming soon!

• Move action buttons where they make the most sense or create your custom ones
• Hide or show elements without creating a new paywall.
• Use our new holiday templates - starting with Halloween.

Continuing our diligent work of improving the load speed of our analytics charts, this time we gave a boost to our Funnels dashboard, which now loads 20 times faster! Such an improvement now makes the work with segmenting and filtering much more efficient and convenient. Here are the results you are sure to appreciate:

• The median request duration changed from an average of 2.5 seconds to about 100 milliseconds.
• The 80th percentile figure jumped from an average of 9 seconds to around 400 milliseconds.

We dedicated May to spring cleaning, releasing numerous minor improvements to make Adapty much more enjoyable. But there still were a few major ones:

ARPU and Installs in Cohorts. The Cohorts chart now includes ARPU and install numbers for each user cohort, making it easier to assess cohort significance at a glance. You can enable or disable the ARPU column in the Columns menu. These enhancements should help you easier make informed decisions about ad spend and marketing effectiveness.

CDN for paywall A/B testing. With Adapty SDK 2.11.0, the CDN used for caching paywalls is now also used in paywall A/B testing. It means the paywall variation is now assigned not on the Adapty server, but on the device, which should result in much quicker paywall loads. The use of CDN overall reduces paywall load times to 300-500 milliseconds (!), ensuring a seamless user experience even in regions with slower internet.

Stay tuned for more and hotter summer updates next month!
