Everything you need to know about the App Store’s makeover and the latest industry trends

Aggressive smartphone penetration led to growth in global app installs, and the app market is soaring as consumers migrate more of their lives to mobile.

Apple’s App Store was introduced in 2008, opening the door to endless opportunities for both iOS users and developers worldwide. Now it is finally getting a makeover, and we can’t be more excited about it. This fall, Apple will roll out a completely new look and feel to the store, which it introduced at this year’s WWDC.

We strongly encourage developers to start planning and preparing their apps to make the most out of these changes. The current pace of change demands mobile developers, publishers and marketers to think on their feet and adjust their strategy correspondingly. This not only concerns the new updates in the Apple and Google app stores, but also the changes in consumer behavior, technology and specific markets that should be kept on the radar.

Global Mobile Game Market

If you’re in the mobile game business, you probably know that gaming is the leader in both installs and revenues in the app market.
