One month after applying the best-performing icon, 63 Juice Cubes continued to see a 25% increase in the number of conversions 64 from store visitors who made organic installs. 65 </p> 66 67 <img src="{@docRoot}images/distribute/stories/playlab-screenshot.png"> 68 69 <p> 70 <em>"Google Play Store Listing Experiments offer a fast, easy, and free way 71 to do A/B testing on an icon.
