		muzzamike on April 30, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to Choose a Profitable Niche What I found most interesting about this is how outdated the Distimo data is. I have a couple game apps in the Games Trivia category, which is conveniently less popular. According to Distimo, in May of last year it would take roughly 600 dls per day to reach the top 25. We're averaging 1000 downloads a day with each game and neither has cracked the top 60. Amazing how much a difference a year makes. Anyone know if Distimo has done a followup more recently? Thanks for another great article Trevor.

I'll have to ask them. I would love an update as well.

The good thing is that app downloads have only increased since then, so any estimates based on this data will be conservative.
