App Industry Trends

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Jonas Thiemann, Co-CEO von der Applike Group, über die Erfolge des vergangenen Jahres und die künftige Beteiligung der Mitarbeitenden am Unternehmen.Die Applike Group ist ein Company Builder der App Economy. Das Unternehmen bietet Lösungen im Bereich Mobile User Acquisition, Mobile Gaming und Ad Monetization an. Die Applike Group wurde im Jahr 2015 von Jonas Thiemann und Carlo Szelinsky mit dem Verlag Gruner + Jahr in Hamburg gegründet. 2020 wurde die Applike Group in eine Holding umgewandelt und wanderte unter das Dach von Bertelsmann Investments, die nun 80 % der Anteile halten. Im Jahr 2022 hat Bertelsmann angekündigt, bis 2026 weitere 100 Millionen Euro in Applike zu investieren. Das Startup kann sich bislang selbst finanzieren und kann eine zweistellige Gewinnmarge vorweisen. Ein Teil der 100 Millionen Euro könnte in das nächste große Projekt fließen. Die Gründer planen, bereits dieses Jahr ein fünftes Unternehmen an den Start zu bringen. Derzeit umfasst die Holding Applike Group die vier Unternehmen JustDice, Adjoe, Sunday und Justtrack. Mittlerweile beschäftigt der Company Builder mehr als 250 Mitarbeitende und wurde zuletzt mit 500 Millionen Euro bewertet. Bis zum Ende des Jahres 2023 soll die Zahl der Mitarbeitenden auf 300 Personen steigen. Applike will zudem auch international expandieren und plant zeitnah, das erste US-Büro in Boston zu eröffnen.Nun hat die Applike Group angekündigt, dass künftig alle Mitarbeitenden am Unternehmen beteiligt werden. Das geschieht im Rahmen eines sogenannten Virtual Stock Option Programs. Bei diesem Modell erhalten Angestellte virtuelle Anteile an einer GmbH, die vertraglich geregelt sind. Erst wenn es tatsächlich zu einem Exit-Ereignis, wie beispielsweise einem Firmenverkauf oder einem Börsengang kommt, werden die Anteile final zugeteilt.

Want to prepare high school students for the App Economy? In this week's episode, we are highlighting a past webinar we held for Month of Swift. We were privileged to learn from Virginia educator, Alex Leonard. Alex holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's Degree in School Law and Policy Studies, and has been an educator of computer science courses for over 16 years. He's taught postsecondary and secondary dual enrollment courses in Programming, Game Design, Database Design and Sciences, Cybersecurity, Networking and Web Development and Design. Additionally, he's taught middle school STEAM courses which lead into the computer science and engineering courses available in his school district.  Currently, he's coaching a FIRST Lego League (FLL), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics, and PUNCH autonomous drone teams for Carroll County Middle and High Schools. Alex believes that education is more than just content, education is building life-long skills that are the foundation of successful individuals. The teacher's role should be that of a coach, guiding students to learn the content. As industry and culture change, so should teaching methods. Alex embraces change and adapts his teaching to suit the needs of his individual students.  Alex shares his perspective of the App Development with Swift program. He talked about how he gets his students excited and engaged with app development, how he showcases his students work, and his advice for fellow coding teachers.  Get more ideas on our blog: https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Blog/2021/September/Getting-Your-Students-Excited-about-Coding.  You can also learn more about the App Development with Swift program here: https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Blog/2021/August/Prepare-Students-for-the-App-Economy-with-Swift   Podcast is edited and managed by Haili Murch LLC.

Alex Agut and his biz partner wanted tiny payments for apps they were building. Traditional payment processors couldn't do it. Bitcoin could, but was too complicated for normal users. BTC fees became too high for tiny payments, but BHC and BSV emerged to restore the original low-fee design of bitcoin. That's when Alex had an idea: What if instead of waiting for a normie-friendly bitcoin wallet, they built one? HandCash.io is a user-first wallet with a built in app store for tiny payment apps. They also provide developers with super easy tools to let users login and pay + earn with HandCash. We walk through the experience and talk about what the future holds.

The Internet is a Literal WebCongratulations to friend of the show, Ian Leslie, and to Industry West for ranking on 2PM's DNVB list and for Adobe Experience Maker Awards. Phillip and Brian talk about the Adobe Experience Maker Awards, the rankings, and ask the question of how some brands are ranked so highly. Millennials didn't invent meal prep delivery. Schwann foods, and catalog delivery — even the milkman — are all examples of modern reimagining of pre-existing retail models.In eCom news, Shopify continues to eat the world, bringing in another investment of Stripe, and launching payments buttons across Google Shopping and Facebook — without the need to be operating a Shopify store. The BNPL ecosystem has stratified into much clearer offerings, as Phillip lays out the roadmap for Afterpay, Affirm, and Klarna.“The world is reopening… New York City no longer has any covid restrictions. San Francisco opened up officially yesterday; the biggest cities are coming out of covid and physical retail is back. I feel like Afterpay is the big winner here in the latter half of the year, if I had to bet the way that people would be using this like everyone, every channel has to deal with the fact that physical retail is coming back.” - Phillip“The internet is held together by spider webs.” - BrianMost people's first ecommerce purchase was probably a digital property. Paula's Choice is the original direct to consumer brand, and predates what we know as the modern web. Launched in 1995 it was one of the first beauty brands online, and predated Google by 3 years. The first-ever secure online purchase was a copy of “Ten Summoner's Tales”, a solo album by Sting. Associated Links:Insiders #088: Paula's Choice: On Blind Spots and Phase CancellationIndustry West2PM DTC Power ListAdobe Experience Maker AwardsSubscribe to our weekly newsletter: futurecommerce.fm/subscribe Check out our latest research piece, Service is the New StorefrontHave any questions or comments about the show?

In this episode of TWIHT we focus on the ONC's Cures Act Final act which is all about "Empowering Patients with Their Health Record in a Modern Health IT Economy".The ONC Cures Act Final Rule implements interoperability requirements outlined in the Cures Act. Vik and Jimmy jump into the details about how this Act helps Patients. Putting the patient first in health technology enables the health care system to deliver:Transparency into the cost and outcomes of their careCompetitive options in getting medical careModern smartphone apps to provide them convenient access to their recordsAn app economy that provides patients, physicians, hospitals, payers, and employers with innovation and choiceVik mentions about the API access that has already been enabled by EHRs and how it is allowing patients to access their health information on iPhone and Android devices. Vik indicates that this ruling will spur up an App Economy, starting from purchasing a health service by comparing services and pricing provided by healthcare providers. Another example would be the way information would be available to patients instead of the standard patient portal, where understanding the health / medical record is not very easy for most patients. This is going to promote better health and better outcomes since it puts patients first. Jimmy comments that this does sound amazing for patients but could be bad for bad performing clinics and hospitals. Vik said it will definitely increase patient quality because now the data available will show patient outcomes for every provider. Vik and Jimmy also discuss privacy and security concerns. Vik discusses that you still need to follow the security protocols, OAuth2 to access patient information. There is also governance and authorization and it's not just open data. Vik compares it to banking budgeting apps that have to be authorized by the user and also need a valid back-end connection with the bank. The same idea will be used with the FHIR API access in healthcare and privacy and security concerns will be addressed. Jimmy asks if everyone is for this ruling and Vik indicates that not everyone is. Big Tech (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon), even more EHRs (Cerner, AllScripts, Meditech, etc). are for the ruling. Epic EHR did oppose this ruling based on patient privacy concerns. Vik comments that innovation is also going to benefit clinicians as the app economy will lead to the development of many apps for every service provided by healthcare. Jimmy and Vik also comment on few other examples including sharing medical record between clinicians and hospitals.

Today in "Epic vs Apple", Epic has helped form the nonprofit "Coalition for App Fairness" including members Spotify, Tile, Blockchain.com, and more to fight Apple and Google not in the courtroom, but in the office buildings of legislators and regulators around the world.

Recently, Fortnite creator Epic Games bypassed the App Store payment gateway, after which Apple booted the game out of the App Store and also terminated their account. In return, Epic Games filed a lawsuit against Apple, after which Apple also filed its counterclaims alleging breach of contract. In a court filing, Epic Games accused Apple to maintain its monopoly over in-app payments on the iOS platform and inflating prices. This battle that would eventually hurt Epic Games more as millions of Fortnite players access the game from Apple devices. It will be interesting to see how this battle will eventually resolve. In the latest episode of ‘The Counterpoint Podcast', host Peter Richardson is joined by Dr. Richard Windsor to talk about the App Economy and the problems related to it.

Two things have grown like crazy in 2020: Coronavirus, and the global app economy. 2020 has been crazy, but there’s been massive growth in some sectors, and mobile is one of them In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier we chat with Lexi Sydow, a senior market insights manager at App Annie, about the state of the global app economy. The good news: some newbies are winning and it’s not all the rich becoming richer. And, mobile isn’t just about what happens on your phone anymore. We talk about: - downloads and growth - countries that are growing in time in apps and on devices - surprises in the data - time for new apps to get on to top downloads and top grossing lists - why new apps are getting so big so quick - new features apps are adding - the overall economic impact of apps

This month we're diving into the European Commission’s recent antitrust actions against Apple’s App Store and Apple Pay services. We're sitting down with our founder, Mike Sax, to discuss what this competition issue means for our members. We're also discussing the launch of our recent study on the state of the App Economy in Europe, as well as member company imagiLabs and their dedication to increasing the number of women working in STEM. And of course we're talking tech history and running though the top tech headlines in Brussels!

Mobile app spend in Q1 2020 was the highest in history. And mobile app use was up 20%. In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier, I talk about a story I just published at Forbes based on a new App Annie report. Lots of apps, especially social, education, business, and fitness, are up and to the right. But will this last?

Instacart is getting record downloads. Uber and Lyft are seeing record lows. How is Coronavirus impacting the app economy? Will Coronavirus be the death -- or the savior -- of our digital economy? Welcome to TechFirst with John Koetsier. COVID-19 is changing everything. When it comes to mobile apps, some industries are way up, and some are way down. With us today to discuss which is which is Adam Blacker from Apptopia. Airlines are in tough. So are hotels, but the drops are not completely consistent. And Uber and Lyft are experiencing record lows for app installs and usage. Delivery apps like Instacart, however, are way up, breaking download records every day for about four days straight. But ready-to-eat food delivery apps are down, Blacker says.

Your app users are sharing why they love or hate your app freely in app reviews. Understanding what they say—and what it really means—is pure old when it comes to fixing bugs, adding features or just showing you care when it counts. But when you get hundreds, even thousands, of review a day, you can’t sift through it all on your own. Our host Peggy Anne Salz catches up with Stuart Hall, co-founder, and CEO at Appbot, a company that has harnessed AI and machine learning to help companies like BMW, PayPal and Twitter understand customer feedback and insights contained in app reviews. In practice, the Appbot tool aggregates app store reviews for all countries on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and Windows stores. Stuart, who has a long track record as a developer, blogger, and entrepreneur, also discusses his early day in the App Economy and offers advice you can follow to maintain an amazing app.

In just over one year Ira Krachanovskaya has advanced from the position of Performance Marketing Lead at Badoo, the leading the dating-focused social network that allows users to chat, make friends and share interests, to take the helm as the Head of Growth Marketing. It’s a personal and professional journey that has given Ira profound insights into what women need to succeed in the mobile App Economy--a male-dominated industry characterized by an 80-20% gender split, depending on the report you read.

Ira also provides practical guidance around the mobile ad creatives and approaches you can use to attract and retain female users to your app, thus ensuring a healthy gender split in your audience and a positive outlook for your app.

Fraudsters are where the money is--and today that space is mobile apps. The App Economy is on track to be worth a whopping $6.3 trillion by 2021. To put that in perspective, it represents an economy the size of Japan. Meanwhile, mobile ad fraud numbers are seeing meteoric growth, doubling year-over-year during the first quarter of 2018 and contributing an ever-increasing portion to overall global digital ad fraud. App Install fraud, in particular, is among the most costly and complex types of mobile ad fraud as it impacts all marketers who pay for app installs--and that is the vast majority worldwide. Our host Peggy Anne Salz catches up with Gary Danks, Managing Director Founder at Machine Advertising, the only company entirely dedicated to stopping app install fraud, to discuss what app install fraud is and who the perpetrators are. Gary also walks us through the questions you need to ask ad partners and the red flags you need to watch. They also dive into eye-opening research, conducted by Machine Advertising, that shows 56% of app installs analyzed were detected as fraudulent.

Recorded 14th December 2017 This week Apple's “Evil Geniuses” got called “jerks” by some guy at the FBI. Seems that, as we said, the App Economy isn't dead. Reports say HomePod may not be too far away, and there are rumours iPhone 6 Plus replacement batteries might be in short supply. Also of course CES brought us the usual crop of news stories from the interesting to the totally bizarre.

Forget the mobile app business logic that tells you to focus on acquisition first, followed by activation, retention, referral and revenue - in that order. That was ok when CPIs were ridiculously cheap, but it’s a “FAIL” in today’s hyper-competitive App Economy. In this episode, our host Peggy Anne Salz catches up Gabor Papp, Growth Marketer at Shapr3D, to discuss why app marketers who focus on retention first have what it takes to win big - and often.

How important – how big and growing – is the App Economy? It’s not just the economic value, estimated at nearly $150B a year. The App Economy has added some 110K software jobs to the U.S. workforce, with 83 percent of those located outside of Silicon Valley.But how will this growth continue? How can the app economy extend beyond social media and games? How will it balance a reliance on Big and personal data with increasing calls to protect individual privacy? And what about the promise of artificial intelligence and the peril of cyber security?Morgan Reed is President of ACT/The App Association, which represents more than 5,000 app companies and information technology firms in the mobile economy. The organization advocates for an environment that inspires and rewards innovation while providing resources to help its members leverage their intellectual assets to raise capital, create jobs, and continue innovatingMorgan – and the App Association – sit at the intersection of just about everything interesting that’s happening in the tech and business world today – mobile, cloud, data… and as Morgan points out, given new technologies like AI and the Internet of Things, it’s all only going to speed up exponentially from here.

In the U.S., free content -- whether that's cooking tutorials on YouTube or the latest news on Twitter -- is supported by advertising. In China, however, companies have succeeded in getting people to directly pay for what they consume, opening up a new source of revenue for the booming app industry and lucrative opportunities for content creators. This week, Bloomberg Technology's Selina Wang speaks to a former magazine editor who has earned millions of dollars from the weekly column that he publishes on the app De Dao. We'll also hear from two of China’s top tech investors on whether U.S. companies can learn from China’s success.

Welchen Weg sind diese Menschen gegangen um dort anzukommen, dass wir sie noch Jahrhunderte später als herausragend ansehen? Robert Greene schreibt in seinem Buch Mastery (Hörbuch) genau über dieses Thema. Das Buch beschreibt wie die Leben von Mozart, Göthe, Bach, Curie verlaufen sind. Nicht überraschend sind auch die großen Meister der Künste und Technik nicht bereits in diesen Rang hinein geboren worden, sondern hinein gewachsen. Viele fingen sehr klein an, kamen aus ärmlichen Verhältnissen, hatten keine finanziellen Mittel und doch hat der stete Tropfen dazu geführt ihren Stein einmal zu höhlen. Nach Jahren der Lehre die, wie Andreas bemerkt, sich nicht unbedingt auf ein einziges Feld bezieht und laut Sven nicht auf ein einziges Tool, ist die Lehre mehr ganzheitlich zu betrachten. Andreas zieht die Forrest Gump Analogie heran. In dem Film sagt Forrest: “Ich hatte einfach Lust zu laufen.” So fühlt es sich für uns an, wenn wir nach einer kurzen Einführung in unser Thema, beispielsweise durch die Uni, ins Leben treten. Denn dort erleben wir die eigentlich Lehre, den Greene Apprenticeship nennt. In Forrest Gump läuft er soweit bis es nicht mehr weiter geht. So laufen wir auch, nach unserer Schul-Lehre, an zu laufen. Angekommen an einem Ufer, an dem es nicht mehr weiter geht, drehen wir um und lernen etwas neues, fangen also wieder an zu laufen. So wird man wieder zum Schüler. Nach Jahren des Lernens merkt man aber, dass genau dieses Lernen neuer Themen die Ausbildung zum Meister ist. Mehr hört ihr im Podcast und könnt bei Andreas im Blog lesen.

Glenn and Susie are joined by Roman Loyola and Caitlin McGarry to talk about those apps that deliver all kinds of goods and services to your door. Are they lifesavers, or are they ruining everything?

The app stores are littered with the broken dreams of thousands of entrepreneurs from around the planet. The early days brought such incredible opportunity to those with foresight and coding abilities - get a game into market and the magic of the devices will do the selling. Unfortunately, for the most part, those days are gone for good (perhaps to emerge again with wearables?). This doesn't mean that the entire app economy is in a tailspin - in fact, the spoils are greater now and getting bigger all the time. Martin Macmillan's company, Pollen, has a unique vantage point on what is happening in the early stages of the mobile app world. Pollen helps bring earned revenue forward from the app stores in order to help fill what he calls the funding gap - that spot between earning a dollar from an app and getting paid. This funding gap kills momentum and kills companies. This episode takes a look at some of the mobile app trends he is seeing from around the world, dips into the disconnect between the old and new world of funding (and why legacy investment models don't work in this new economy) and attacks a question on a lot of app developer's minds: Are mobile gaming companies still good venture investments. Full show notes can be found here.

On this episode of TechTalks.fm, Craig and Sean take to the streets of Albany (Olde English Pub) in order to discuss the App Store changes that Apple has rolled out (and presumably revoked) to their search algorithms. Now with the world revolving around consuming information through hyper-focused applications on their mobile devices, how will the way search provides information change? Obsessive Disruption brings the conversation around how marketers and individuals can use these new emerging trends to promote the content that provides relevancy to their service,brand, product, etc. Though a shorter conversation than normal, Craig and Sean explore what is the inevitable evolution of the world of searching keywords into the realm of what Google Now and Siri provide. A world focused around custom interactive application portals.
