Apptopia’s Advanced App Tagging Dataset Has Bone-Deep Insights
Sep 28, 2021

In a single app store category lives thousands of different apps, all with varying features, themes, and monetization models. This makes category-based analyses too broad to be useful, which is why publishers go through the painstaking process of manually segmenting apps. Segmentation helps publishers target relevant apps and extract actionable insights in order to inform product decisions.
While segmentation is critical to app development, it’s far too time-consuming. This is why Apptopia is thrilled to announce X-Ray— a new dataset which provides bone-deep insight into exactly what makes an app successful. This new add-on uses machine learning to automatically assign classifications — including functions, features, monetization, game play, and themes — to every app and game in the mobile ecosystem, eliminating the need for manual app tagging altogether.
This zero-delay iOS and Android app classification intelligence is unmatched in the industry with 340+ app tags (and growing), spanning 7+ million apps. Available across our product suite, users can mix-and-match Apptopia’s capabilities to create product intelligence and market insights unlike anything seen before.
