EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• This report focuses primarily on the size and composition of the global market for Android apps.
This includes 23 countries and 30 application categories. Note that for Android we only track
apps in the Google Play store, which is not supported by all Android devices or markets.

• As of June 2013, there are 902,254 apps in the Google Play store, 78% of which are free and
22% of which are paid. 4.8% of all apps have in-app purchase. Compared to May 2013, the
number of free apps available for download in the app store increased by 6% while the number
of paid apps available for download increased by 3%. 27,984 apps were deleted from the app
store during June 2013.

• Out of the total number of apps detected, 20.1% were released within the last three months and
13.7% are gaming applications.

• Associated with all apps in the Google Play Store are 240,230 publishers, 16.6% of which publish
games. The average number of apps per publisher is 3.8.

• In June 2013, we estimate that there were around around 3.6 billion downloads of Android ap-
plications. Of these, 99.7% of downloads were accounted for by apps that are free to download,
25.6% by new apps and 36.2% by gaming apps.

• In June 2013, 15 out of 23 countries we track experienced solid growth in in-month downloads

Platform Comparison by Country 11/ 38

How does the size of the global mobile apps market vary
by platform?
The following table shows how the size of the mobile app market varies by platform in countries across
the globe. Market size in a given country is measured using total in-month app downloads across all
app categories. Two platforms are considered -- Android and iOS.

While the dynamics of the iOS and Android markets are quite different globally, we do think it is valuable
to illustrate a basic comparison between the two. 17 out of 23 countries experienced more in-month
downloads of Android apps versus iOS apps in June 2013. The country with the highest number of
Android downloads in June 2013 is The United States.

18 out of 23 countries experienced higher month-over-month download growth on the Android plat-
form versus on iOS. Portugal was the fastest growing on the Android platform while Poland showed
the largest disparity in June 2013 Android vs. iOS downloads.

Glossary
Active Apps Our Active Apps definition excludes apps that have not been downloaded in the month
reported on.

Average Rating Average app rating as assigned by the users directly in the app store. Ratings are
assigned on a scale from 1 to 5 stars, where 1 is the lowest, and 5 is the highest. A rating of 0 (zero)
means that app has not been rated yet. iOS and Windows ratings are country-specific, meaning an app
can have a different rating in each country. Android app ratings are not localized - Google assigns a
global rating only, so an Android app's rating is the same across countries.

Basis Points (bps) A basis point is a unit equal to one hundredth of a percentage point.
Change in Downloads The month-over-month growth in estimated period downloads.
Estimated Active Users Active Users measures the cumulative number of individual users who have
actively used an app in the last month. It excludes multiple usage sessions by a single user. We derive
our Active Users estimates by multiplying our download estimates by app interest specific retention
rates that we get from a data partner. The calculation is made over a 90 day period.

Estimated Downloads (In-Month) Number of downloads generated by an app in the current or


designated month.

Estimated Downloads (Prior Month) Number of downloads generated by an app during the prior
month.

Estimated Downloads (All-Time) Number of downloads generated by an app since its inception
in the app store.

Free Apps Number of free-to-download apps counted in the app store at a given point in time.
In-App Purchase Virtual goods or features that can be purchased from within an app.

New Apps Number of apps currently in the app store that were published within the last three months.

Paid Apps Number of pay-to-download apps counted in the app store at a given point in time.
Platform The mobile operating system supporting a particular app. “Android” platform apps refer
to apps in the Google Play marketplace. “Windows” platform apps refer to apps in the Windows

iPhone and iPad apps.

Publisher Name of the developer or official entity (i.e. company) publishing the app.
Sub-Category Priori’s designator for detailed app category. Sub-Categories denote the functional
categories to which an app belongs. Sub-Categories are constructed using Priori’s proprietary AppAr-
chitecture classification system.
Methodology 37/ 38

Methodology
Every month, we collect app data from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Windows Phone
Marketplace. This effort covers 30 countries and processes information on more than 2,000,000 apps
and 500,000 developers. Our collection process runs on the 8th of each month, and our reports contain
information from the preceding 30 days. A report titled “June 2013” contains information collected
between June 9th and July 8th.

Our collection process gives us detailed metadata on apps and developers, including descriptions,
versioning, size, monetization, user ratings and commentary. This information is collected directly from
the stores and presented un-altered in our reports.

We have also generated a series of additional data metrics which add value and context to public data.
These metrics, developed using proprietary technologies, enable us to better understand the scale,
growth, and composition of the markets we cover. Two of these metrics are contained in this report:

First, Priori generates download estimates for each app in the store. Our methodology utilizes publicly
available information given by the app stores, hard data which is published in company filings and press
releases, and other quantitative indicators which serve as inputs to our regression models. In some
cases, developers give us direct access to their app store accounts, allowing us to calibrate our models
against actual values. Proprietary download information is never displayed in our reports, therefore it is
natural to expect a margin of error in our estimates. We hear that for 80% of apps in our database (now
more than 1.6mm) our estimates for in-month downloads are within a margin of +- 20%. The error is
largest for small apps, particularly those who have just entered a store. As we aggregate the numbers
up to the publisher, sub-category, category, country, and platform levels, our margin of error decreases
to about 5%.

Second, Priori maintains a proprietary app classification system which we call AppArchitecture, which
assigns a sub-category designator to each app in the store. This allows us, for example, to classify
an app not just as a “Medical” app, but rather a “diabetes” app, a “first aid” app, or a “heart rate
monitor” app. This system allows our customers to better target a specific area of interest in the app
stores, either for competitive intelligence, investment, or ecosystem review purposes.
