Code, Code, Revolution!
Great success!
HittaHem was launched a week ago and it was a great success! It took just over 24 hours to become the most popular free application on the Swedish AppStore both in the Lifestyle category and overall. The application was praised and mention on many of Sweden’s largest sites. Here’s a list of sites that wrote about the application (Swedish language warning!)
On top of that, the video of the application was the most watched/popular video on YouTube Sweden! HittaHem maintained it’s position as the most downloaded free app on AppStore Sweden for almost a whole week. Today it fell one place to nr2. Which brings us to something interesting that very few developers share, “How many downloads does it take to reach the most downloaded spot?”, I’ll give you the numbers!
| Date | Downloads | Position |
| 2009-01-19 | 45 | ? |
| 2009-01-20 | 38 | ? |
| 2009-01-21 | 64 | ? |
| 2009-01-22 | 1 008 | 2 |
| 2009-01-23 | 1 569 | 1 |
| 2009-01-24 | 1 008 | 1 |
| 2009-01-25 |
877

1 |
| 2009-01-26 | 587 | 1 |
| 2009-01-27 | 404 | 2 |
Note that these numbers are for the given time period, for a free application, on the swedish AppStore. Numbers could and will differ between dates, localized store etc, but it gives you an idea of what it takes to reach the nr1 spot on the swedish AppStore.
All of this was made possible because of Svensk Fastighetsförmedlings strong brand and the impressive work by my collegues at Iconvert. A big thank you goes to all the sites who wrote about the application and included the YouTube video!
