• Wish we could say more. That’s how Apple announced the special keynote event for Tuesday September 9. Traditionally it is the moment on which the company gives an insight into the future and introduces new products. This time the iPhone 6, Apple Pay and Apple Watch were introduced. Of course we followed the presentation live. These are the most important facts.
  • Its getting harder and harder to be successful with an app. With millions of apps in the appstores its not an easy job to get noticed. Especially in the very competitive gaming apps category. That’s why we are very pleased with the first results of Shackle. Shackle was launched on July 4th and managed to score a top three position in the 'Word Games' category. We are proud to be in this ranking with proven successes like Wordfeud, Draw Something and Ruzzle.
  • Even the best app won’t be an instant success. With more than 700.000 apps in both the Apple Appstore and Google Play you have to make sure you will get noticed. Appstore Optimization is one of the instruments you can use to promote your app.
  • The battle between Apple iOS and Android sometimes looks more like a religious battle between the fans of both platforms than an objective look of what’s really going on. The people who use both platforms and smartphones know better. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
  • Sometimes one infographic says it all. Newrelic surprised us with a crystal clear overview of the mobile market in 2013. It shows the rapid growth of mobile, but also the important challenges. Did you know for example that more Android devices are activated on a daily basis than babies are born worldwide? Or that 60% of all apps in the Apple Appstore never get one single download?
