Over 5 Million App Recommendations Served & Top Apps from January

Believe it or not, Apptizr has now served over 5 million personalized app recommendations to our users! It's been a fun ride and we really appreciate all of the support and feedback our users have given us. To celebrate this occasion, we thought we would take a moment to look back, and share some data on what we've learned from our users.

Since we know when our users tell us they like an app recommendation, we thought it would be fun to look at the most liked apps from last month. This is the resulting top 10 list for free apps vs. paid apps. Starting with the free apps, I did find the popularity of music apps a bit surprising (2 of top 3). It was also surprising the lack of games among the top 10, although you'll see that they are among the most highly downloaded.

Here's the top 10 list among paid apps which were most liked by Apptizr users in January. A bit more games, but lots of Productivity apps. I guess people are happy to pay for some productivity improvements.

Lastly, we looked at when our users actually clicked on the download button to try to install these apps. Not surprisingly all of these are free apps, with games being a top category.

Please feel free to share these lists with folks who will find them interesting. To make it easier to share, I've posted this as a presentation on Slideshare. As always, thoughts or feedback on the post would be welcome.
