WebMediaBrands Inc.’s (Nasdaq: WEBM) Inside Network, the leader
in tracking application performance and market trends across social
and mobile platforms, today announced the publication of the first
report in the recently launched Mobile App Research Service (MARS).
MARS monthly reports help companies capitalize on the growing app
economy by providing insight into user and developer trends in
specific mobile app genres.
The report, “Mobile Games: Driving Discovery,” examines mobile
game user behaviors such as game acquisition frequency versus
playing frequency, genre loyalty, and motivations for game
purchases. It concludes that developers must do more to focus on
drivers beyond those in the app store. According to the report,
more consumers (23 percent) cite recommendations from the media and
friends as download influencers than such app store features as
reviews (19 percent) and screenshots or video (10 percent).
“App stores have become the central hub for acquiring new mobile
apps, but they are not necessarily a destination that consumers
visit frequently,” said report author Ross Rubin, research director
for Inside Network. “Generating social media buzz, viral marketing,
and more traditional word-of-mouth and reviews from publications
can factor in rising above the clutter.“

Network, contact Scott Bialous, General Manager, at
