ShareApp Store and Play Store Rankings Internationally Also Show Growth
NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, has
announced that the MeetMe app has reached its highest US rankings in the
last year in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. As of
November 12, the MeetMe Android app ranked 13th in the Google
Play Store Social category and the MeetMe iPhone app ranked 26th
in the App Store Social Networking category.
The MeetMe app is showing signs of gathering momentum internationally as
well. For example, in Android’s Social category, MeetMe now ranks 16th
in India, 18th in the United Kingdom, and 22nd in
both Italy and Turkey, up from, respectively, 35th, 32nd,
73rd, and 88th one year ago. MeetMe ranks in the
top 100 Social applications in 45 countries in the Google Play Store and
in 90 countries in the Apple App Store.
“We believe our improved ranking in the Social categories on both iPhone
and Android is the result of organic growth stemming from the successful
launch of our new mobile design and continued progress in facilitating
chat engagement for our users,” says Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Our
apps are available in 12 languages, and we are encouraged by our recent
international traction in user growth. For example, in October nearly
half (48%) of all MeetMe registrations on Android came from outside the
US, up from 22% a year ago. We look forward to continuing to expand
MeetMe within the US and throughout the world as the pre-eminent mobile
chat app for connecting with new people.”
