DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Distimo was founded to solve the challenges created by a widely fragmented app store marketplace filled
with equally fragmented information and statistics.
Distimo was launched shortly after the introduction of the first app store. App stores have clearly shown
since that time that they are the way forward for content distribution. The app store model offers an
enormous opportunity for developers to get their content out and dramatically improves content discovery
by consumers. However, the mobile market has long been characterized by fragmentation, which is
also displayed in the wide range of mobile application stores that were launched from 2009 on.
Distimo is a privately held company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Learn more: www.distimo.com

This publication covers the Apple App Store for iPad, Apple App Store for iPhone, Apple
Mac App Store, BlackBerry App World, GetJar, Google Android Market, Nokia Ovi Store,
Palm App Catalog, and Windows Phone 7 Marketplace.
The major findings are:
• 96 applications have been downloaded more than 5 million times in the Google
Android Market. Google Maps is the only application with more than 50 million
downloads in the Google Android Market, making it the all-time most popular
application in this store.
• 20% of all free applications and 80% of all paid applications have been downloaded
less than 100 times in the Google Android Market worldwide to date.
• It is more challenging for developers in the Google Android Market than in the Apple
App Store to monetize using a one-off fee monetization model. We found that only
two paid applications have been downloaded more than half a million times in the
Google Android Market worldwide to date, while six paid applications in the Apple
App Store for iPhone generate the same number of downloads within a two month
timeframe in the United States alone.
• Looking at just games, there are five games in Google Android Market with over
250,000 downloads worldwide. In the Apple App Store for iPhone ten games
generated more than 250,000 downloads in the United States alone in two months.
• The refresh rate of top application charts is significantly higher in the Apple App
Store for iPhone than in the Google Andoid Market. During the month of April, there
were 94 distinct applications with a top 10 (free or paid) position in the Apple App
Store for iPhone in the US; there were only 26 distinct applications that reached a
top 10 position in the Google Android Market.
NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
Distimo Publication - May 2011

Last month we released a Distimo Publication, which reported on the rapid growth of
the number of available applications in the Google Android Market. This month we take
an extensive look into the download volumes of the Google Android Market. With this
analysis we will try to find out whether all this content that is available in the Google
Android Market is interesting for consumers.
The graph shows the worldwide total downloads of all applications that were available in
the Google Android Market between April 1 – May 19 in the United States. The download
tiers above show the proportion of applications that were downloaded worldwide
between these intervals. The figures reveal that the majority (51.8%) of free applications
have been downloaded less than 1,000 times to date. Almost a fifth (19.6%) of all free
applications have been downloaded less than 100 times.
A selection of free applications are downloaded more than five million times: 69 free
applications have been downloaded between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 times and 26
free applications have been downloaded between 10,000,000 and 50,000,000 times.
There is only one application that has been downloaded more than 50,000,000 times:
Google Maps is the all-time most successful free application in the Google Android
Market.

Looking at paid applications in the Google Android Market, downloads are significantly
lower than they are for free applications. The percentage of all free applications that
have been downloaded less than 100 times is 24.8%, and the percentage of paid
applications that have been downloaded less than 100 times worldwide is 79.3%. These
figures reveal how challenging it is for Android developers to monetize applications in
the Google Android Market using a one-off fee monetization model. This may be one
of the reasons why the majority of the applications are free in Google Android Market
(in contrast to the Apple App Store, for example), and may also be why developers have
turned to advertising to monetize their applications. Angry Birds is probably the best
known example of this. All of the Angry Birds series in the Google Android Market are
free and feature ads, while in the Apple App Store, these same applications are all paid
applications with far fewer ads. As Rovio CEO Peter Vesterbacka says about using free
applications with ads instead of paid for applications in Google Android Market: “we’re
very happy with the monetization that it provides us with.”1

It is interesting to note that paid applications have a higher chance to reach high
download volumes in the Apple App Store for iPhone than in the Google Android Market.
We have estimated that in March and April together, six paid applications have
generated more than 500,000 downloads each in just the United States in the Apple
App Store for iPhone. In the Google Android Market however, only two paid applications
have exceeded more than 500,000 downloads (but under 1 million) worldwide to date:
Beautiful Widgets and Robo Defense. Hence, the possibility to generating over 500,000
paid downloads is a real possibility for more applications in the Apple App Store than
in the Google Android Market.
Just as with all applications, paid games also generate more downloads in the Apple
App Store for iPhone than in the Google Android Market. There are five games in Google
Android Market with over 250,000 downloads worldwide. In the Apple App Store for
iPhone ten games generated more than 250,000 downloads in the United States alone
in two months.
Google’s Android platform manager Eric Chu indicated he was “not happy” with the
sales in Android Market.2 However, the recent introduction of in-app billing should give
developers more opportunities to monetize applications. The improvement of discovery
of applications in Google Android Market was another one of the plans Chu mentioned
to improve monetization with one-off paid applications. On the next page we will go
into more detail about application discovery.

Top 10 Free/Paid Top 300 Free/Paid
The fact that many applications have been downloaded relatively few times may be at
least partially due to the fact that the top charts in the Google Android Market change
very little over time in the Google Android Market. This is caused by the fact that
Google also takes long term performance of applications into account in order to rank
applications. Looking at the top charts in April, there have been 843 and 584 distinct
applications in the top 300 free and top 300 paid applications in the Apple App Store for
iPhone. Comparatively, there have been only 388 and 363 distinct applications in the
top 300 in the Google Android Market. These figures show that in the Apple App Store
for iPhone, many more applications achieve top application exposure, and therefore
generate more downloads.
Being visible in the top charts is very important for generating more downloads. Since
top 10 applications are normally the most visible in the various app stores, we have
analyzed those in separately as well. The top 10 free and top 10 paid applications
together have seen only 26 applications in the Google Android Market, while there have
been 94 applications in the top 10 free and paid in the Apple App Store for iPhone.
Google recently made major changes to the web storefront of the Google Android
Market. It now displays more local content and top new and trending charts. Perhaps
these, and future changes, will provide a higher probability for success for a larger
proportion of the applications in the Google Android Market.
