In today's episode, host Tom Butta interviews Jonathan Kay, the Founder & CEO of Apptopia, in a discussion that covers past and current trends in the app market, the changing landscape of app usage, and how we are shifting towards better integrated design and functionality. Apptopia is a web-based market data and intelligence solution for mobile application developers which was founded back in 2011.Tom and Jonathan also explore the concept of mega apps, where brands consolidate multiple apps into one platform. While this approach allows brands to provide a more streamlined and convenient user experience, there are also times when it might be impossible to serve each of your unique customer profiles within one singular app. The interview further delves into how the economy impacts the mobile space, with Jonathan highlighting the trends observed in the travel, entertainment, and retail sectors. The results might be surprising as some key players have actually increased their usage and revenues during times of limited spending. Jonathan emphasizes the importance of brand loyalty and quality in a market driven by price-conscious consumers.—Guest BioJonathan Kay is the Co-Founder and CEO of Apptopia, the app data insights and intelligence company, with clients including Google, Zoom, Visa and NBC. A mobile pioneer, Kay entered the market in 2011 to add transparency to the mobile ecosystem through modeled data estimates, and level the playing field.Starting Apptopia before there were even 100,000 different apps out in the market, Jonathan quickly saw that the best way for someone to differentiate themselves from the noise was through data. Apptopia's most recent funding round came in 2021 when they secured their $20M Series C led by ABS Capital Partners. —Guest Quote“People now have more control over their data, and I think you're gonna see it get even more personalized because at the end of the day, it's just better for you. And I think once people just get more comfortable with it through repetitive, redundant education, they'll realize that more often than not, it provides you with a better experience.” - Jonathan Kay—Time Stamps *(01:11) Jonathan and Apptopia's background*(03:39) How the App landscape has changed since 2011*(04:45) What data signals you should be watching out for*(08:05) Deep dive on how data is gathered and analyzed*(10:38) One App to rule them all?

For episode 3, I am joined by Brian O'Neill who is the self-styled "UX for Data Products guy". He's the founder of Designing for Analytics, an independent consultancy helping data leaders turn their data into valuable data products. Through his UX consulting, speaking and design training, he's helped launch several enterprise software companies (Apptopia, Dispatch.me, Akorri) and has worked with businesses including DellEMC, Tripadvisor & Fidelity.  Brian hosts the Experiencing Data podcast & advises for MIT's Sandbox Innovation Fund. Plus, he leads a double life as a professional percussionist where he's played with The Who and Donna Summer. So, a unique personality to talk with as we explore the "real skills" that data leaders need. During our conversation we explore the need for softer skills in data leaders, beyond their technical expertise. This includes the challenge of hiring for such skills not just technical screening. Brian focusses on getting to know the person you are serving with your work. Not just as a set of requirements or role, but as an individual. What is in it for them personally? How can your design effort help them achieve that too? Empathy in Design thinking if you will.

Apple verdubbelt haar investering in het Europese Silicon Design Centre. In 2021 kondigde het bedrijf aan meer dan een miljard vrij te maken voor ontwikkeling van microchips in het Duitse München. Nu komt daar nog eens een miljard bij de komende zes jaar.  Het Duitse onderzoekslab ligt op loopafstand van de Technische Universiteit van München. Apple werkt al langer met die universiteit samen voor onderzoek naar chipontwerp. Dat focust zich vooral op chips voor draadloze verbindingen zoals 5G en Wi-Fi. Volgens Apple hebben de Duitse teams al een belangrijke rol gespeeld bij de ontwikkeling van de nieuwste M2-chips. De komende jaren zal in Duitsland verder gewerkt worden aan bijvoorbeeld een nieuwe integratie van 5G-modems in de microchips. Verder in deze Tech Update: Ook China investeert geld in chips, maar dan in haar eigen lokale markt. De Chinese geheugenchip maker Yangtze Memory Technologies ontvangt 1,9 miljard dollar van de Chinese overheid. Dat geld is hard nodig om de chipmarkt in China te ondersteunen, sinds de Amerikaanse overheid verschillende sancties oplegt voor handel met China. TikTok verdient meer aan in-app-uitgaven dan alle andere sociale media bij elkaar. Per maand gaat het om 100 miljoen dollar aan inkomsten, terwijl dat bij andere sociale media niet boven de vijf miljoen komt. Zo melden analisten van Apptopia.  De AI-chatbot van Microsoft Bing heeft nu verschillende persoonlijkheden.

A single mother, Luna,  along with her teenage son Finn and young daughter Shiloh had to recently flee their home due to unsettling activity in their home. Unable to afford staying in a hotel for an extended amount of time, the family has since returned to their residence. However, they now live in fear that, whatever's been tormenting them the past seven years, is going to strengthen its attacks against them.  In part I of this series, in an interview with Luna, she recounted in detail the plethora of unusual phenomena the family were experiencing.  Phantom putrid odors, knocking on the walls, shadow figures, full bodied apparitions,, and even physical attacks such as scratch marks and people being thrown. These attacks however seemed to be focused around Finn, Luna's teenage son. Turning their attention to Finn, Stephen and Occult Specialist Alexis had a theory that he possibly possessed some level of psychic ability and could be a reason activity was ramping up in the home. In Part II of this series, through a more in depth interview with Finn, they not only got further validation of his mother's experiences, but also learned of new activity in new areas of the home that was concerning. Most notably, voices that Finn and his sister Shiloh had heard and without knowing, both described the sound of the voices as “plotting”. Stephen and Alexis believed that the families action to demolish the hallway bathroom, what they believed to be a hot spot for the paranormal activity, may have just displaced whatever was there, and could potentially have aggravated it. The conversation with Finn regarding the incident in Shoal Creek where he witnessed a young boy's death and the spirit of Bryan who seemed to follow him after his event, further solidified their theory that Finn very likely possessed some level of psychic ability. Now that they'd gathered as much information they could through interviews, it was time to visit the home and do a full investigation. Join Stephen as he brings team members Alexis, Franklyn and psychic friend Sara to try and determine what is really tormenting this family and if there's any way they could possibly help them feel safe in their own home again.Sponsored by BetterHelp.

Building a SAAS business that focuses on building a research tool, more than building a data product, is how Jonathan Kay, CEO and Co-Founder of Apptopia frames his company's work. Jonathan and I worked together when Apptopia pivoted from its prior business into a mobile intelligence platform for brands. Part of the reason I wanted to have Jonathan talk to you all is because I knew that he would strip away all the easy-to-see shine and varnish from their success and get really candid about what worked…and what hasn't…during their journey to turn a data product into a successful SAAS business. So get ready: Jonathan is going to reveal the very curvy line that Apptopia has taken to get where they are today.    In this episode, Jonathan also describes one of the core product design frameworks that Apptopia is currently using to help deliver actionable insights to their customers. For Jonathan, Apptopia's research-centric approach changes the ways in which their customers can interact with data and is helping eliminate the lull between “the why” and “the actioning” with data.   Here are some of the key parts of  the interview: An introduction to Apptopia and how they serve brands in the world of mobile app data (00:36) The current UX gaps that Apptopia is working to fill (03:32) How Apptopia balances flexibility with ease-of-use  (06:22) How Apptopia establishes the boundaries of its product when it's just one part of a user's overall workflow (10:06) The challenge of “low use, low trust” and getting “non-data” people to act (13:45) Developing strong conclusions and opinions and presenting them to customers (18:10) How Apptopia's product design process has evolved when working with data, particularly at the UI level (21:30) The relationship between Apptopia's buyer, versus the users of the product and how they balance the two (24:45) Jonathan's advice for hiring good data product design and management staff (29:45) How data fits into Jonathan's own decision making as CEO of Apptopia (33:21) Jonathan's advice for emerging data product leaders (36:30) Quotes from Today's Episode   “I want to just give you some props on the work that you guys have done and seeing where it's gone from when we worked together. The word grit, I think, is the word that I most associate with you and Eli [former CEO, co-founder] from those times. It felt very genuine that you believed in your mission and you had a long-term vision for it.” - Brian T. O'Neill (@rhythmspice) (02:08) “A research tool gives you the ability to create an input, which might be, ‘I want to see how Netflix is performing.' And then it gives you a bunch of data. And it gives you good user experience that allows you to look for the answer to the question that's in your head, but you need to start with a question. You need to know how to manipulate the tool. It requires a huge amount of experience and understanding of the data consumer in order to actually get the answer to the question. For me, that feels like a miss because I think the amount of people who need and can benefit from data, and the amount of people who know how to instrument the tools to get the answers from the data—well, I think there's a huge disconnect in those numbers. And just like when I take my car to get service, I expected the car mechanic knows exactly what the hell is going on in there, right? Like, our obligation as a data provider should be to help people get closer to the answer. And I think we still have some room to go in order to get there.” - Jonathan Kay (@JonathanCKay) (04:54) “You need to present someone the what, the why, etc.—then the research component [of your data product] is valuable. And so it's not that having a research tool isn't valuable. It's just, you can't have the whole thing be that. You need to give them the what and the why first.” - Jonathan Kay (@JonathanCKay) (08:45) “You can't put equal resources into everything. Knowing the boundaries of your data product is important, but it's a hard thing to know sometimes where to draw those. A leader has to ask, ‘am I getting outside of my sweet spot? Is this outside of the mission?' Figuring the right boundaries goes back to customer research.” - Brian T. O'Neill (@rhythmspice) (12:54) “What would I have done differently if I was starting Apptopia today? I would have invested into the quality of the data earlier. I let the product design move me into the clouds a little bit, because sometimes you're designing a product and you're designing visuals, but we were doing it without real data. One of the biggest things that I've learned over a lot of mistakes over a long period of time, is that we've got to incorporate real data in the design process.” - Jonathan Kay (@JonathanCKay) (20:09) “We work with one of the biggest food manufacturer distributors in the world, and they were choosing between us and our biggest competitor, and what they essentially did was [say] “I need to put this report together every two weeks. I used your competitor's platform during a trial and your platform during the trial, and I was able to do it two hours faster in your platform, so I chose you—because all the other checkboxes were equal. However, at the end of the day, if we could get two hours a week back by using your tool, saving time and saving money and making better decisions, they're all equal ROI contributors.” - Jonathan Kay on UX (@JonathanCKay) (27:23) “In terms of our product design and management hires, we're typically looking for people who have not worked at one company for 10 years. We've actually found a couple phenomenal designers that went from running their own consulting company to wanting to join full time. That was kind of a big win because one of them had a huge breadth of experience working with a bunch of different products in a bunch of different spaces.”- Jonathan Kay (@JonathanCKay) (30:34) “In terms of how I use data when making decisions for Apptopia, here's an example. If you break our business down into different personas, my understanding one time was that one of our personas was more stagnant. The data however, did not support that. And so we're having a resource planning meeting, and I'm saying, ‘let's pull back resources a little bit,' but [my team is] showing me data that says my assumption on that customer segment is actually incorrect. I think entrepreneurs and passionate people need data more because we have so much conviction in our decisions—and because of that,I'm more likely to make bad decisions. Theoretically good entrepreneurs should have good instincts, and you need to trust those, but what I'm saying is, you also need to check those. It's okay to make sure that your instinct is correct, right? And one of the ways that I've gotten more mature is by forcing people to show me data to either back up my decision in either direction and being comfortable being wrong. And I am wrong at least half of the time with those things!” - Jonathan Kay (@JonathanCKay) (34:09)

El gobierno de Donald Trump prohibió descargar las aplicaciones WeChat y TikTok de las tiendas de su país a partir del domingo 20 de septiembre por la noche, medida que impedirá a los estadounidenses bajar las plataformas de propiedad china, por temor a que representen una amenaza para la seguridad nacional. Las prohibiciones, anunciadas dos días antes, afectan sólo a nuevas descargas y actualizaciones y son menos drásticas de lo esperado, particularmente para el servicio de videos TikTok. La empresa matriz ByteDance dijo que quiere llegar a un acuerdo sobre el destino de sus operaciones en Estados Unidos. WeChat, una aplicación china que reúne mensajería, redes sociales y pago electrónico, se enfrenta a restricciones más severas a partir del domingo señalado. Los usuarios de TikTok, por otro lado, verán pocos cambios hasta el 12 de noviembre, cuando entrará en vigor la prohibición de algunas transacciones técnicas, que equivaldría en la práctica a una clausura, según la app. “Continuaremos impugnando el decreto injusto, que fue promulgado sin el debido proceso y amenaza con privar al pueblo estadounidense y a las pequeñas empresas de todo el país de una plataforma significativa para tener voz y sustento”, dijo la compañía en un comunicado donde expresó su inconformidad por el bloqueo. La popular aplicación para compartir videos TikTok pidió a un juez estadounidense que impida al Gobierno de Donald Trump hacer cumplir una prohibición contra la red social china, según la queja presentada a última hora del viernes por TikTok y ByteDance en una corte federal de Washington, donde impugna las recientes medidas restrictivas. En tanto, el Secretario de Comercio Wilbur Ross dijo a Fox Business Network que “TikTok básico permanecerá intacto hasta el 12 de noviembre”. La prohibición de nuevas descargas de la popular aplicación podría frenarse si ByteDance sella un acuerdo con Oracle que aborde las preocupaciones sobre la seguridad de los datos de sus usuarios, aseguró. El gobierno de Trump ha intensificado las iniciativas para purgar las aplicaciones chinas “no confiables” de las redes digitales estadounidenses, en medio de la creciente tensión con Pekín en una serie de asuntos que van desde el comercio y los derechos humanos hasta la batalla por la supremacía tecnológica. La orden del Departamento de Comercio prohíbe a la tienda de aplicaciones de Apple Inc., Google Play de Alphabet Inc. y otras ofrecer las apps en cualquier plataforma “que pueda ser accesible en Estados Unidos”, dijo a la agencia Reuters un alto funcionario de Comercio. TikTok tiene 100 millones de usuarios en Estados Unidos y es especialmente popular entre los jóvenes, mientras que WeChat un promedio de 19 millones de usuarios activos diarios entre los estudiantes chinos, los expatriados y algunos estadounidenses que tienen relaciones personales o de negocios en China, según la firma analítica Apptopia
