App Flood | Is AppFlood right for you?

App Flood | Is AppFlood right for you?

Is AppFlood right for you?   A while back I attended this event called the Global Mobile Internet Conference down in the valley.  Pretty big. Pretty interesting – and pretty insightful.  There was one company that I still remember to this day, mainly because I thought the idea of what they were doing was pretty cool for Indie developers.   AppFlood basically provides developers a simple SDK procedure that enables them and their apps to cross-promote with hundreds of other developers.   Here are some key benefits:   It’s open to everyone. You can setup your campaign in minutes.

Apple App Store vs Google Play

Apple App Store vs Google Play

  One would think that the Apple App Store would be the leading App Store in the mobile device and app industry, and..they’d be right.  It’s revenue is actually 4x that of Google Plays.   BUT. (here’s the kicker)   Google Play has had a 311% growth spurt since January of this year.  While iOS revenues growth this year have been modest with 12.9% in the same period.  In the last month, Google Play revenues have grown an aggressive 17.9% while iOS revenue contracted by 0.7%.   It was also reported that Japan ousts US for top spot in Google Play revenues.  As for Downloads, much has been reported about Android’s sheer growth in smartphone distribution over the last  year. However, the volume of global free downloads is still 10% greater on iOS than on Google  Play. What is noteworthy though is the speed of  Google Play’s catch-up. In the last five months, it has closed the gap significantly by growing 48%  compared to iOS’s 3.3% growth in the same...
