Hey folks.. How do you find out how your competitor's app is getting reviews/downloads, etc? There are so many tools for website - like alexa, quantcast, spyfu, keywordspy, etc. But what about apps? I mean I can search the app name and see which sites reviewed them. But there's got to be a better way to do competitive research for apps Any ideas?
of course this is super secret.. and i post this only here exclusive on touch arcade.. again its super secret spying stuff.. but if you follow thoose 4 steps youre opportunities are pretty much unlimited.. Secret Spy Ressources! please use this information with absolute discretion. cheers and good luck!
Yeah, agreed. If I have any competitors, I certainly don't know who they are. I'd much rather not worry about that stuff and instead focus on making great games.
Muahahahaha On a more serious note, I don't really know how you "spy" but if you want to track their performance app annie is a good bet.
In Distimo you can set up to 5 competitors for direct comparing in ranking. It is not much of a spying, but a nice thing anyway.
Yeah, def a great tool for every developer with at least 1 app published. We've got several apps in multiple stores (Apple, BlackBerry, etc) and it puts it all together real nice!
