Lustancia launches global app ranking tool for Android Market...on iOS

Are we getting to the stage where developers can safely assume large numbers of consumers have access to multiple operating systems?

The launch of Lustancia's App Rank + would suggest as much, with the tool providing insight into app ranking information, price changes and new feature additions on Android Market.

The interesting aspect about the app's launch, however, is that as well as rolling out on Android Market, it's also hit Apple's App Store.

Two of a kind

Lustancia's claim, however, is that App Rank + won't appeal to the ordinary consumer. Rather, it's being aimed at developers large numbers of which have a hand in both markets.

"Most Android developers are also developers on the iOS," said Lustancia VP of marketing Joony Koo.

"A substantial number of Android developers actually use an iPhone and vise versa. There will be a large amount of developers who are interested in what is going on in the Android space but carries an iPhone for their primary mobile device."

Koo states the app allows users to analyse an app's performance,  as well as compare it to that of a competitor.

The tool also shines a light on how promos and price drops can impact on downloads, with data sourced in real time from 28 global Android Markets.
