One tool to truly get the insights you need

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I think it's simply a great product.

Pros:

42 Matters has a very clean database, so the data allows it to run proper analyses. It is also much more teacher than alternative databases and contains exactly the information you need. It was quite a task to compare the different alternatives for app analytics but I eventually found the provider I trust.

Cons:

I would have appreciated it if I had found the summary of how many countries an app ranks in the top 10, top5, which would also be accessible in the general database. It is available when you click on the app but I would have loved to export that information for some custom analyses.

Excellent user-friendly research tool

5.0 last year

Comments: Explorer significantly helped my doctoral research and other market research conducted at our Institute. It offered market insight that was crucial for my thesis. In the digital era we live in, apps are an indicator of general demand for a significant amount of services and products. Because of that this tool can crucially contribute to researchers in various business, economy, social and technological areas. I highly recommend it.

Pros:

What I like the most is user-friendly interface, that the product is simple to use and offers a lot of various information. As such can be incredibly useful for various intentions, from competition to performance analysis, as well as for general market and demand analysis.

Cons:

I honestly found no cons - no features were difficult to use and it offers a great deal.
