If you want to maximize your app’s revenue, then understanding how users interact with apps — both yours and your competitors’ — is crucial. In the span of a year, we saw both app store and in-app advertising revenue grow a staggering 70%, and signs point to those numbers increasing even more. As a publisher, getting insight into users’ behaviors (through metrics like app reach, engagement and retention) can be a key tool to forming your monetization, product and marketing strategies.
On the heels of Usage Intelligence’s full release, we’re excited to announce our first-ever report that delves into usage-level information, Insights Into App Engagement: Q1 2015. Inside you can see how users in some of mobile’s key countries — including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and South Korea — are consuming apps. See the most addictive apps, “stickiest” categories and much more.
Across the board, users run Communication and Social apps on their Android smartphones the most.
