from the self-post dept.

I did an analysis of the iOS App Store and revealed some interesting findings. For example, 49% of iOS apps are free, and 25% are $0.99. Interestingly, the $4.99 price point is more popular than the $3.99 price point.

Where do you get your data? Scraping? Something else? One of the methods listed here? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3098256/crawling-and-scra...

Do you know how many of the free apps are demos or also have a paid version?

Nice stats.

Would be nice to have a breakdown by categories too.
