100k apps, announced today (only) by Apple. Not a word on the VERY long tail
Not sure why Apple has waited today to announce 100k apps in the App Store, which we and other announced about a week ago
Of course this is a fantastic achievement and Apple does not forget to quote top success like T-Pain app
But what Apple is missing in their PR is the fact that the BIG majority of apps don't enjoy that success
Please take again a look at this stat we provided regarding the %of apps that are installed in more than 50% of the users...The conclusion is obvious
The store is built for hits. Not for the rest.
Don't look too far for the explanation. it is mentioned by Apple
Apple continues to improve search and discovery with new features including Genius for Apps, App Store Essentials selections, sub category listings and more valuable customer reviews
So let's see how they play it out. At Appsfire we believe the solution is not in the App Store or even the Genius. And this is why we are growing day after day.
