App Store Metrics
We originally created page to celebrate the App Store reaching 10,000 apps and included a few metrics on the app store. There was a tremendous response to that page. We’ve added a few more interesting stats and expanded the ones that were there onto this new page. Let us know what else you’d like to see on these page either in the comments below or send us feedback via email. We’ll do what we can to include them in the future.
