Hasn't AppAnnie accomplished being "the Neilsen of the mobile age" in some ways? I'm not sure how AppAnnie collects its data. My guess would be that it is buying data from Foursquare, etc. I don't have much of a problem with that. I suppose I'm more opposed to a large company offering an app that promises privacy yet delivers the exact opposite of privacy.

So AppAnnie is directionally accurate, but not massively. Onavo (as far as I understand it), did lots of bias correction (standard survey/panel adjustments really) that tended to give them better population accuracy (which is what you normally care about).
