2 Foreword Total App revenue is set to reach $26 billion this year and app store downloads will hit 12 billion. There is no denying that the app economy is booming. It can be a daunting and highly competitive space for developers and businesses to enter and navigate, especially if you walk through it in the dark. We believe that insights into the market and metrics on how your own app is performing are key to building an unbeatable app, effective marketing campaign and reaping maximum returns. When visibility is hard to come by, making marketing decisions based on the correct data is an important driving force. Simply put, data is key. Market insights, app tracking and in-app analytics are the best and the only way to get your app out there. The adeven team comes from an app development background and focuses its strategy around providing the best business intelligence platform for apps. This edition of our free Monthly App Stats Report will provide you with information on the most trendy and addictive apps in major categories, app price distribution, genres and more. Till next month! Best, Christian Henschel, CEO & Co-founder, adeven 2
