invested so perhaps they will get on top of things.4

Quick Thoughts:
Lots of growth occurring in Mid-Feb as companies gear up for Mobile World Congress and SXSW....but why? Media attention? Paid acquisition programs? Both?
A few apps held on to growth the achieved around the conferences, but some just returned to where they started. Further investigation required on why some stick and others don’t.
Highlight is clearly winning. Ban.jo is nicely positioned following the conferences, Glancee is in a better position as well.
My gut tells me that products that have so-called viral distribution sustain if they have good engagement. Get engagement right.
