Distimo unveils app store benchmarking

Aim is to help developers maximise revenues across eight different app stores and extend geographic reach.

Distimo Monitor is a free app store analytics tool that allows any developer to monitor their daily downloads, revenue, rankings, and reviews on a global scale using aggregated transactional data extracted directly from the app stores.

Now developers can benchmark their download volumes against all the apps in any country, using dashboard tools to remove all of the manual work required with distributing an app in multiple stores.

The idea is to give them insight into where opportunities exist, and use this knowledge to adjust country focus.

Distimo Monitor offers:

•    Cross platform support Apple App Store, Mac App Store, Android Market, BlackBerry App World, Ovi Store, Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, Amazon Appstore and GetJar
•    Free, unlimited use with no code integration required
•    Comparison of download volumes per country alongside the total download volumes of all apps in the market
•    Download volume growth by country over time
•    Benchmark pricing points and business models against top grossing apps
•    Customer reviews
•    Data analysis
•    Tablet compatibility
