Since a couple of months, we have been tracking applications on Getjar. There is a nice battle going on for the top positions in their store. These positions are important for developers, because the higher your app, the more visibility you get among Getjar users on both the website and the mobile version.
Recently, the mobile version was updated to show the highest ranked applications per category, instead of one overall listing. This way more applications can be highlighted on the mobile homepage.
If you look at the weekly downloads of the top applications on Getjar, eBuddy and Nimbuzz are competing for rank 1. Opera, Google and Mig33 are very close for rank 3.
Weekly downloads on Getjar
The top 5 applications combined are now getting over 1.3M downloads per week. Of these downloads, 900k is coming from instant messaging applications. It will be interesting to see if this will change because of Getjar highlighting more application categories on their mobile version.
