The Effects of Getting an App Featured in the App Store. By Juli | January 29, 2012 | 1 comment Yesterday we published a report from Distimo that revealed the details behind the effects of putting an app on sale, including the best discount to offer and just how much extra cash a sale can net developers. Putting an app on sale is just one of the ways that developers can increase revenue. Getting an app featured in the App Store or the Android Market is also a great way to get some extra recognition, which, in turn, results in more purchases and more money. Distimo took a look at the impact that being featured had on apps that were already in the top 100 most popular applications, which is basically a prerequisite to making it into Apple’s picks. When one of these apps was featured, it had an average gain of 27 ranks in the iPad App Store, 15 ranks in the iPhone App Store, and a staggering 42 ranks in the Android Market during the first three days. Even when apps were no longer in the featured list, there were still significant effects.

Apple iTunes App Store Metrics, Statistics and Numbers for iPhone Apps. We originally created our metrics page in the fall of 2008 to celebrate the App Store reaching a milestone of what at the time seemed amazing, 10,000 apps.
There was a tremendous response to that page and to the App Store which is well north of half a million apps now. We’ve added a few more interesting stats and expanded the ones that were there onto this new page. Let us know what else you’d like to see on these page either in the comments below or send us feedback via email. We’ll do what we can to include them in the future. The source of the stats is the iTunes App Store itself. 9/2012: Metrics update.

The apps that get featured on the iOS App Store. The data used to generate this report runs from the 7th February 2013 to the 7th June 2013.
The App Store is updated every Thursday with a new set of app features; I've been grabbing the home page of the Store (as it appears in the 155 different countries with an App Store) each week. Some countries have additional home-page-style pages for key sub-genres, such as Games and Education. However, I've only been grabbing and processing those apps that get featured on the App Store home page itself, so that I can make comparisons across all of the App Stores in the world.
The iTunes App Store is available in 155 different countries, but there are actually only 25 unique stores. (See my blog post on the subject to find out which countries are covered by each of the 25 stores.) …like this one.
