Tariq Hussain · Mobile App Expert I build and fix Android & iOS apps that make money.

Tariq Hussain is a mobile app expert who implements and fixes AdMob ads in Android and iOS apps: ad placement, frequency capping, mediation, match rate and show rate. On one app he raised the AdMob show rate from 60% to 80%, which grew ad revenue by 20% with the same users. You can start with a $50 Quick Review or a $99 Full App Audit (see Services & Pricing).

Low match rate: add mediation so several ad networks compete for each slot, and stop requesting ads you will never show. Low show rate: preload ads before the moment you want to show them, but not too early, because loaded ads expire. Then check placement and frequency capping: show ads at natural pauses after the user has got value, not on app open, and make sure active users see a fair number of ads while new users are not hit with ads too early. Many apps also earn more by adding a Remove Ads purchase or subscription next to ads. Read how I took one app from 60% to 80% show rate.

Most Android performance problems come from memory leaks, work on the main thread and too much happening at startup. Add LeakCanary to find leaks and ANR-WatchDog to find where the main thread blocks. Move database reads, network calls and heavy setup to background threads with coroutines, keep Application.onCreate() to what the first screen needs, and defer analytics, crash reporting and push setup until after the first screen. Release images when they are no longer needed, and use the Jetpack App Startup library and Android Studio profiler. I used this approach to cut a fintech app's startup time by 40%; more in how I make apps faster and use less memory.

Yes. Performance and debugging are a big part of my work. I use tools like LeakCanary to find memory leaks and ANR-WatchDog to find code that blocks the main thread. On one fintech app, this cut startup time by 40%, and on another client's app, fixing slow screens took monthly revenue from $1,000 to over $2,000. Send me your crash or ANR reports and I will find the cause.

Yes. I have added AdMob and Facebook ads, Google Play Billing and Stripe to apps with millions of downloads. Ads earn from users who will never pay, and a paywall (remove ads or subscribe) earns from users who would, so most apps need both. I can build paywalls with Google Play Billing, RevenueCat or Superwall. I can also fix an existing setup: on one app I raised the AdMob show rate from 60% to 80%, which grew revenue by 20% with the same users.

Yes. AI tools are good at building screens and features, but they don't decide where your paywall goes, when ads should load and show, or how to price. That is where many apps lose money, and it is what I help with. I also review the code itself: in AI-built apps I have found hardcoded credentials in a live app, and refactored one codebase by deleting 81,000 lines. I work in native Kotlin and Swift.

Yes. I build native Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI. At Metric, I built and maintained both the Android and iOS apps, and helped build the iOS app from scratch.

Email me at tariq.hussain2518@gmail.com or message me on LinkedIn. Tell me what your app does, what you need (a new build, a fix, better performance or more revenue) and your timeline. I start by using your app like a normal user, reading your one-star reviews and checking your top crashes, then I tell you what I found and what I would fix first.
