With over\u00a02.7 billion smartphone users<\/a>\u00a0across the world, it\u2019s no surprise that the mobile app industry is thriving. App usage and smartphone penetration are still growing at a steady rate, without any signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now factor in the 1.35 billion tablet users<\/a> worldwide, which is a number that has doubled over the past six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take a second to look up from your phone during the day, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll notice that everyone else has their eyes glued to a mobile device as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, studies show that the average American<\/a> checks their phone every 12 minutes. 10% of people check their phones once every four minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use our phones at work, at home, on the street, while we\u2019re eating, in bed, and even in our cars. You might be reading this from a mobile device right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s everyone doing on their phones? Well, 90% of mobile time<\/a> is spent on apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is encouraging news for anyone who owns an app or plans on developing an app. But in order to be successful in this space, two things need to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Users need to download your app.<\/li>
  2. Users need to use your app.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These two seemingly simple actions are what inspired me to write this guide. Sure, we know that people are using apps more than ever before. But that\u2019s just barely scratching the surface in terms of the available data on this usage. You can\u2019t develop an app based on this information alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s like saying, \u201cPeople like to eat, so I\u2019m going to open a restaurant.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to compete and claim your share of this multi-billion dollar industry, you need to have a better understanding of exactly how people are downloading and using mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
