MOBILE DEVELOPER SNAPSHOT

In Q4 2013, we ran a global survey of application developers and publishers in order to get a pulse on the app
economy. A summary of the results from the survey are analyzed in the following report, including characteristics,
practices, goals, priorities, and intended plans of developers for 2014.

Global Developer Locations
A geographically diverse mix of publishers and developers responded to our survey, most of which see impressions from all over the world.
41% of developers are located in either North or South America, followed by 30% in EMEA and 28% in Asia. The breakout of where each region
sees impressions is shown in the charts below.

Company Sizes

Number of Applications

Over 80% of developers currently develop on their own or for
a smaller organization (one to nine employees). The overall
sizes of these companies are expected to increase next year
as more of these long-tail developers plan to hire onto their
teams and grow in size.

In 2014, developers expect to increase the number of
applications they publish. In fact, 60% expect to have five or
more apps in an app store next year, up from 36% this year.

DEVELOPER CHARACTERISTICS
Looking back... in our 2010 State of the Apps survey, the operating systems developers and publishers designed for
looked very different than the results of our 2013 survey. In 2010, only 23% of developers said they were publishing for
Android, compared to now 80% in 2013.

OS Mix

Application Category Mix

When looking at the major operating systems developers publish
for, developers often design for more than one platform. Their
apps are not mutually exclusive to one device or operating
system. Some other trends we see are that:

Games are currently, and will continue to be, the most popular
category of application, followed by Productivity & Tools and
Music & Entertainment apps. While developers expect to
increase the number of apps they publish in 2014, there is not
as much expected change in the category of future app
development. Developers are sticking to what they know.

Android is the most common operating system developed for,
with 80% of developers publishing on Android last year. 41%
of those that develop for Android also do so for iOS.
iOS is the second most common operating system, with 64%
of developers planning to develop for iOS in 2014. 67% of
those that develop for iOS also do so for Android,
growing to 78% in 2014.
Growth on all of these operating systems suggests that
developers are planning to take their apps to as many platforms
as possible to be accessible to the largest amount of mobile users.

Looking deeper, trends suggest that 65% of Games developers
develop on their own, while Sports developers are nearly twice
as likely to be part of a larger company.

74% OF DEVELOPERS BUILD UNIVERSAL APPS,
those that can run on either a smartphone or a tablet. The remainder are
designing platform-specific (tablet and/or smartphone only) apps.

2014 Goals

2014 Strategies

The primary goal in 2014 for 56% of developers will be to
develop new applications. This, along with maximizing
revenue and improving discovery/downloads of their
current apps, were chosen as the top three goals for
developers in 2014.

Developers indicated that revenue, user feedback and ratings,
and the number of app downloads are their most important
strategies heading into 2014. For companies with less than 10
employees, revenue was the biggest focus area for 2014,
while for larger companies, the focus will be on gaining user
feedback and app store ratings.

Millennial Media's 2014 State of the Apps Report

  • 2. STATE OF THE APPS MOBILE DEVELOPER SNAPSHOT In Q4 2013, we ran a global survey of application developers and publishers in order to get a pulse on the app economy. A summary of the results from the survey are analyzed in the following report, including characteristics, practices, goals, priorities, and intended plans of developers for 2014. Global Developer Locations A geographically diverse mix of publishers and developers responded to our survey, most of which see impressions from all over the world. 41% of developers are located in either North or South America, followed by 30% in EMEA and 28% in Asia. The breakout of where each region sees impressions is shown in the charts below. 4% 1% 6% 13% 11% Located in Located in AMERICAS 41% 47% 82% EMEA 8% 41% 27% Located in APAC 30% 28% 52% 8% Source of Impressions: North America APAC EMEA South America Source: Millennial Media, Q4 2013 Company Sizes Number of Applications Over 80% of developers currently develop on their own or for a smaller organization (one to nine employees). The overall sizes of these companies are expected to increase next year as more of these long-tail developers plan to hire onto their teams and grow in size. In 2014, developers expect to increase the number of applications they publish. In fact, 60% expect to have five or more apps in an app store next year, up from 36% this year.

  • 3. STATE OF THE APPS DEVELOPER CHARACTERISTICS Looking back... in our 2010 State of the Apps survey, the operating systems developers and publishers designed for looked very different than the results of our 2013 survey. In 2010, only 23% of developers said they were publishing for Android, compared to now 80% in 2013. OS Mix Application Category Mix When looking at the major operating systems developers publish for, developers often design for more than one platform. Their apps are not mutually exclusive to one device or operating system. Some other trends we see are that: Games are currently, and will continue to be, the most popular category of application, followed by Productivity & Tools and Music & Entertainment apps. While developers expect to increase the number of apps they publish in 2014, there is not as much expected change in the category of future app development. Developers are sticking to what they know. Android is the most common operating system developed for, with 80% of developers publishing on Android last year. 41% of those that develop for Android also do so for iOS. iOS is the second most common operating system, with 64% of developers planning to develop for iOS in 2014. 67% of those that develop for iOS also do so for Android, growing to 78% in 2014. Growth on all of these operating systems suggests that developers are planning to take their apps to as many platforms as possible to be accessible to the largest amount of mobile users. Looking deeper, trends suggest that 65% of Games developers develop on their own, while Sports developers are nearly twice as likely to be part of a larger company.

The remainder are designing platform-specific (tablet and/or smartphone only) apps. Visit www.millennialmedia.com/research to sign up. 25%
  • 4. STATE OF THE APPS MOBILE DEVELOPER MONETIZATION TRENDS 2014 Goals 2014 Strategies The primary goal in 2014 for 56% of developers will be to develop new applications. This, along with maximizing revenue and improving discovery/downloads of their current apps, were chosen as the top three goals for developers in 2014. Developers indicated that revenue, user feedback and ratings, and the number of app downloads are their most important strategies heading into 2014. For companies with less than 10 employees, revenue was the biggest focus area for 2014, while for larger companies, the focus will be on gaining user feedback and app store ratings. 5% 2% 6% 6% 9% 31% 15% 23% 56% 16% 31% Developing new applications Maximizing revenue Improving discovery/downloads Finding new distribution channels Marketing and/or advertising Learning a new programming language Driving revenue Gaining user feedback/ratings Increasing number of app downloads/shares Increasing monthly average users Increasing rank in app store Source: Millennial Media, Q4 2013 Source: Millennial Media, Q4 2013 Monetization Mix Currently, 83% of developers are monetizing their apps. Of this 83%, most make their money from advertising (73%), followed by paid app downloads (45%). Of the 17% of developers who don’t currently monetize their apps, 46% expect to do so in 2014. 90% of developers say more than half of their apps are supported by ads. 56% 80% 70% 60% expect the percentage of revenue from in-app advertising to go up in 2014. 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Advertising Paid app downloads In-app / virtual goods purchases Source: Millennial Media, Q4 2013 Visit www.millennialmedia.com/research to sign up. 88% of in-app ads can accommodate rich media and/or video.
