Mobile Apps Playbook



   Introduction
   Most Americans can’t imagine leaving home without their mobile phones. Nearly all
   adults in the U.S. now have cellphones, with one in four having smartphones, pocket-sized
   devices more powerful than the computers initially used to send men to the moon. By
   the end of 2011, Nielsen predicts that the majority of mobile subscribers in the U.S. will
   have smartphones. With their rich features and capabilities, these devices have been fertile
   ground for the growth of mobile apps. As of June 2010, 59% of smartphone owners and
   nearly 9% of feature phone owners report having downloaded a mobile app in the last
   30 days.
   To better understand the growing popularity of mobile apps—and help all players in the
   mobile ecosystem figure out how to profit from their growth—The Nielsen Company
   launched the Mobile Apps Playbook in December 2009. The most recent version of
   the study was released in September 2010 and was based on an August 2010 survey of
   more than 4,000 mobile subscribers who had reported downloading a mobile app in the
   previous 30 days.
   This white paper summarizes some of the findings of the Nielsen App Playbook study
   and was created for the first-ever AppNation Conference, held in San Francisco in
   September 2010.

Beyond Cellphones
As connected devices such as touchscreen tablets, eReaders
and media players gain in popularity, mobile apps are likely to
flourish there as well. It should be no surprise that the iPod
Touch currently sees the most apps downloads. Games are the
most popular app category on all connected devices, just as they
are on smartphones and feature phones. A separate research
study, the Nielsen Connected Devices Playbook, is currently
underway and will delve deeper into the role of connected
devices in mobile media.

Conclusion
The research has several key takeaways for apps publishers,             Perhaps most important, apps are still a very young market and
mobile advertisers, device manufacturers, mobile ad networks            the leaders of today may become the laggards of tomorrow.
and wireless operators trying to fuel (and profit from) the             There remains plenty of room for innovative newcomers, and
growth of mobile apps.                                                  new categories will emerge with applications we have yet to
                                                                        imagine. One nascent category to watch is augmented reality,
•	 A is for Android and Ads: Android owners show a clear
                                                                        in which views of real-world environments are enhanced or
   preference for free apps. This may be due in part to the
                                                                        augmented by computer-generated images or information.
   browsing interface on the Android Market, which makes it
   easy to browse free titles exclusively. However, we also know        About The Nielsen Company
   that Android owners tend to be younger and less affluent than
   iPhone users. Either way, they are more likely to click on an ad     The Nielsen Company is a global information and media
   within an app, and that spells a clear monetization strategy for     company with leading market positions in marketing
   anyone targeting the fast growing Android user base.                 and consumer information, television and other media
                                                                        measurement, online intelligence, mobile measurement, trade
•	 B is for BlackBerry: Despite a huge installed base, Blackberry       shows and business publications. The privately held company
   app usage lags the iPhone. It remains to be seen whether             is active in approximately 100 countries, with headquarters in
   RIM’s new devices and revamped store will persuade                   New York, USA. For more information, please visit,
   BlackBerry owners to embrace mobile apps.                            www.nielsen.com.
•	 C is for Consumer Convenience, Carriers and Credit Cards:
   Consumers crave convenience, security, and consolidated
   bills when it comes to paying for their mobile apps. Carriers
   and credit card companies should already have consumers’
   trust and are eager to carve out a central role in a world often
   eager to pass them by.
•	 T is for Teens: The young continue to be more receptive
   to mobile advertising than their elders. Will they continue
   to be more receptive as they age due to their comfort with
   technology, or will time temper their openness to mobile ads?
   Alternatively, will older generations become more receptive
   as they gain more experience with mobile? Future research
   should shed light on this issue.
•	 T is also for Third Parties: Apps users value the
   recommendations of third parties, whether it is a family
   member, a friend, or a site or service offering ratings and
   reviews. Those seeking to market mobile apps would be well
   advised to emphasize two tactics: Word-of-mouth marketing
   (including social media) and securing favorable ratings
   and reviews.

Estudio sobre smartphones de Nielsen

  • 1. The State Of Mobile Apps Created for the AppNation Conference with Insights from The Nielsen Company’s by The Nielsen Company Mobile Apps Playbook Introduction Most Americans can’t imagine leaving home without their mobile phones. Nearly all adults in the U.S. now have cellphones, with one in four having smartphones, pocket-sized devices more powerful than the computers initially used to send men to the moon. By the end of 2011, Nielsen predicts that the majority of mobile subscribers in the U.S. will have smartphones. With their rich features and capabilities, these devices have been fertile ground for the growth of mobile apps. As of June 2010, 59% of smartphone owners and nearly 9% of feature phone owners report having downloaded a mobile app in the last 30 days. To better understand the growing popularity of mobile apps—and help all players in the mobile ecosystem figure out how to profit from their growth—The Nielsen Company launched the Mobile Apps Playbook in December 2009. The most recent version of the study was released in September 2010 and was based on an August 2010 survey of more than 4,000 mobile subscribers who had reported downloading a mobile app in the previous 30 days. This white paper summarizes some of the findings of the Nielsen App Playbook study and was created for the first-ever AppNation Conference, held in San Francisco in September 2010.

One nascent category to watch is augmented reality, • A is for Android and Ads: Android owners show a clear in which views of real-world environments are enhanced or preference for free apps. This may be due in part to the augmented by computer-generated images or information. browsing interface on the Android Market, which makes it easy to browse free titles exclusively.

Carriers and credit card companies should already have consumers’ trust and are eager to carve out a central role in a world often eager to pass them by. • T is for Teens: The young continue to be more receptive to mobile advertising than their elders. Will they continue to be more receptive as they age due to their comfort with technology, or will time temper their openness to mobile ads? Alternatively, will older generations become more receptive as they gain more experience with mobile? Future research should shed light on this issue. • T is also for Third Parties: Apps users value the recommendations of third parties, whether it is a family member, a friend, or a site or service offering ratings and reviews. Those seeking to market mobile apps would be well advised to emphasize two tactics: Word-of-mouth marketing (including social media) and securing favorable ratings and reviews.
