World Map App Version 4!



I finished up version 4 of World Map App. Key updates include the application size so that it takes up less memory but has the same high resolution maps. Also version 4 includes a Spanish Translation of the app. Users can expect the update in the next 48 hours.

Version 3 included a Russian Translation that drove downloads since it was released. The pie chart below shows the language distribution when I released version 4 a few moments ago.

As you can see, Russian users make up 60% of the user distribution. The next graph shows installations by country. 

As expected Russia has the most downloads followed by the USA and Kazakhstan (which is right underneath Russia, you can look it up on the "Russia" map on the World Map App).

Why all the growth in Russia? I suspect that the English World Map type app market for Android is saturated, but in other languages it is not. Also, I included a nice Russian map in the app.

Time will tell if the new Spanish Translation in version 4 of World Map App will also spur downloads.

 What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment about the best strategy to get your app into different languages?
