What is it about?

Through analysing the available data on mobile app marketplaces (i.e. Google Play Store) we provide several factors which can lead to a higher number of downloads and higher user scores. Most of these factors can be controlled and changed by the app developers and sponsors so the findings may be used to improve the existing apps as well as can be used to develop further apps.

Subsequently, it is possible to promote healthy living and wellness via mobile health apps and improve public health in the long run.
