One tool to truly get the insights you need
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.
Explorer

Pros:
This program is another option to use at work when exhausted options in Chrome, another tool in the work cabinet.
Cons:
I have not experienced any major issues with this program other than subtle differences in the pages with first opened from the desktop.

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