Distimo Debuts New App Trend Data Service

Netherlands-based app store analytics provider Distimo has announced the launch of Distimo App Trends, a resource allowing users to search for and view daily download and revenue trends for the last two weeks for any app worldwide.

The free service provides daily ranking data for every app worldwide in any category where it is ranked in an app store, and allows searches by any country. Stores included are the Apple App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, and target clients are developers, financial services companies, mobile marketing executives and journalists.

Data for the new service is pulled directly from the firm's AppIQ product, which uses the largest set of transactional data available globally - totalling more than three billion downloads per quarter.

CEO and co-founder Vincent Hoogsteder (pictured) says the new service 'provides a new degree of transparency to the mobile app market that has not been easily accessible to users before, and offers true insight into an app's uptake and success over time. Services that provide free insight into the uptake of apps are in high demand, including our own Distimo Leaderboards, but all of these services have only shown ranking data - until now.' He adds: 'We're excited to bring the first global service to market where anyone that works in the mobile sector can have access to daily download and revenue trends at their fingertips.'

Privately held Distimo was formed in 2009 and in addition to its Dutch HQ has offices in San Francisco, New York City, London, Singapore and Tokyo - with a home page at www.distimo.com .
