Earlier this month, third-party mobile app store GetJar announced the public launch of its GetJar Gold Program (previously in beta), a catalog of premium Android applications made available for free. Today, the company is providing an update on the catalog's success: over $1 million in free applications have been downloaded in the three weeks post-launch, Get Jar says. It has also spurred an increase in GetJar's free app downloads, too - a 5000% increase, in fact.

Apple this morning announced that there are now over half a million applications available in the mobile applications-specific App Store, and that over 100 million of apps have been downloaded from the desktop software marketplace Mac App Store in less than a year after its debut. When the Mac App Store opened for business on January 6, 2011, there were only 1,000 software applications available from the store. The company did not specify how many are available today, but says there are now "thousands" on

Banjo, the creepy/awesome cyber-stalking app (I mean social discovery service) that shows you who's nearby based on their Facebook and Foursquare check-ins, geotagged tweets, TwitPic and Instagram uploads, is now a web app, too. In case you haven't yet download the iOS or Android application to your mobile device (or are some kind of Windows Phone-using rebel), you can check out the service via the recently updated Banjo website instead.

Marketing technology company Fiksu tracked the impact of the iPhone 4S on iPhone app downloads and found that download volume of the top 200 free apps increased 15% from October's previous record high of 4.91 million daily downloads. In November, the firm's "App Store Competitive Index," which measures this trend, peaked at 5.65 million downloads per day - the first time it has topped the 5 million mark. That's an increase of 83% over November of last year.

Pollbob, a small, three-person polling startup from New Orleans' The Idea Village accelerator has just acquired the older polling site Misterpoll. Prior to the acquisition, which closed on Friday, Pollbob had over 12,000 downloads and 7,000 active registered users. With Misterpoll's 270K+ userbase now in tow, Pollbob is ready for rapid growth, says Pollbob Co-founder Zach Kupperman.

The WinZip iOS app, which lets you crack open .zip files from your iDevice, has only spent a short time on the App Store (and by short, I mean, like, a week). But there's already plenty to brag about. The app saw over 30,000 downloads on Day One, and nearly 150,000 on Day Two. As of last night, WinZip has blown by the 500,000 download hurdle with approximately 512,000 installs.

With Android accounting for the majority of smartphones worldwide at the moment, it's finally also starting to become the most dominant player in apps, too. Figures out today from analytics firm Xyologic note that Android now accounts for the majority of downloads in the UK, Germany and Russia, and predicts that the U.S. will be the next to go Google in either March or April. This is a sea change from months past, when Apple -- the early mover in apps -- has always dominated in app download activity, despi

musiXmatch, a large music lyrics content provider, is doubling down on mobile at Mobile World Congress. That makes sense - how often have you wondered about the lyrics to a song and ended up surfing some really bad ad-filed site? The new free Android musiXmatch Lyrics Player lets you identify the lyrics from any audio source (using Gracenote). That means to hold up the app to the music your hearing and it'll just magically bring up the lyrics. You can also search Lyrics by words, title and artist. You can

Etsy, online seller of various hand-made hipster goodness, has reached a major milestone today. After less than four months on the App Store, the Etsy for iPhone app has surpassed 1 million downloads. The app launched in mid-November 2011. But that's not all Etsy has to celebrate. Since the release of the app, it's seen 25-60 percent growth in visits month-over-month, and is seeing an average of 30 pageviews per visit.

Ustream is celebrating reaching 2.5 million downloads of its Android app today with the release of a major new version, Ustream 2.0. It's been a long time coming for Ustream to hit this milestone - the original Android app was launched back in 2009, and the Android tablet version arrived just last year. With the update, the company is finally providing a way for users to disable the banner ads within the app - news whose timing is critical, given the recent reports about Android ads and the related batter

Wow, AroundMe has really been flying under the radar. The location-aware mobile search app is announcing today that it's now passed the 6 million mark for monthly unique visitors. To put that in perspective, Yelp's mobile apps see 5.7 million+ monthly uniques these days. Not bad, then, considering AroundMe has a single founder, a team of four, and no outside funding. The company is also now reporting having surpassed 1 million downloads per month, and has recently announced new partnerships with OpenTable,

Appia, an app marketplace and white-label app platform, is broadening its support for Android with the introduction of Pay Per Install App Advertising for Google Play (formerly known as the Android Market). Up until now, all the downloads generated through PPD (pay per download) were done through an Appia-powered app store, but now developers can purchase a Pay Per Install campaign and drive traffic back to Google Play. This, in turn, can then boost their app's install numbers and rank. The news comes at a

With smartphone penetration now at 50 percent in the U.S., the world of apps is seeing a knock-on effect in their popularity: according to a new report from Nielsen, mobile consumers are downloading more apps than ever before, with the average number of apps owned by a smartphone user now at 41 -- a rise of 28 percent on the 32 apps owned on average last year. But at the same time, there are hints of people possibly approaching a limit to how much they might use them: despite the rise in app numbers, the a

How hot are to-do lists? Quite hot, apparently. After Sunday's launch of the popular Android to-do list app Any.DO on iOS and web, co-founder and CEO Omer Perchik tells us that download numbers are exploding. Try this number on for size: Any.DO saw 100,000 downloads of its iOS application in just 24 hours. And this is without the app being featured by Apple, he says. In addition to the download numbers, Perchik says that iPhone users created over 500,000 tasks using the free app just yesterday. (Wow, you g

Despite the fact that almost nothing happens but running, turning, jumping and sliding, Temple Run is one of the most popular games on mobile. In fact, in just a month on the platform the Android version of the game saw 10 million downloads. But there's gotta be more to life than jumping over overgrown tree roots and sliding under bridges, which is why a new version of the game has been brought to life within the App Store and Google Play. It's a collaborative project between Imangi Studios, makers of the

MinoMonsters, the Pokemon-inspired social game from Y Combinator's two youngest founders, has just shipped a major new release. With MinoMonsters 2.0, the game hasn't been so much updated, as it has been reinvented. Whereas before, gameplay involved a combination of exploring worlds and completing quests while simultaneously caring for and leveling up a wide collection of characters, the update is shifting the focus to evolving your monsters and battles.

You may remember StartApp from their September 2011 launch, or perhaps from the $4 million the company raised in March. But today, 10 months after the initial launch, StartApp is back with the news that its search monetization software has been downloaded more than 150 million times on Android. The company has said that around 4,000 live apps in the Google Play store are using its platform, with approximately 1.25 million daily SDK installs. If you're not already familiar with it, StartApp is basically a p

Angry Birds has been around for what seems like forever, topping over 1 billion downloads across all available platforms. But folks continue to come up with new and interesting ways for us to sling birds into poorly built structures with the sole purpose of needless destruction. Samsung today officially joined that pack by offering Angry Birds on Samsung's Smart TV, but pay no mind to the remote — the whole thing is controlled by gesture. The idea is that you can aim birds by pulling back the way you wou

Smule is on fire. Just take a look at the work these guys have done since their 2008 launch: $25.5 million in funding, more app releases than I can keep up with and a pretty sweet acquisition. And the latest app, AutoRap, is seeing some incredible early success. After less than a week on the App Store, AutoRap has seen over 2.5 million downloads with over 12 million raps created. Yes, raps. Like, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Eminem style raps.

The summer travel rush has been good to HotelTonight, the last-minute hotel booking service: the site today announced that it has now had 3 million downloads of is mobile app, and it is marking the occasion by continuing its scaling efforts in the U.S. and UK -- where it spearheaded its international push in June, fuelled by its latest $23 million investment. The company is now covering hotel bookings in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool, as well as St. Louis, Charlotte, Pittsburgh and Nashvil

According to some estimates (such as from XyoLogic) around 0.1% of iOS apps get 50% of the the downloads on the app store (there are 650,000+ iOS apps), with as much as 60% of iOS apps never downloaded, and only about 30-50% of apps on Android getting any traction at all. With that in mind you can understand how desperate some app-based startups are. So it's a mystery to me that people are producing some apps that offer little in the way of new innovation to even mark them out from the crowd. Into this are

Munich, Germany-based company, Carpooling.com, whose ride-sharing service helps shift more than a million people around Europe each month, has launched a new Android app -- adding a PayPal payment option and a push notifications messaging system, among other new features.

Apple's changes in iOS 6 are already proving plenty beneficial for some of its developers, including mass transit app-maker Embark. The San Francisco-based startup has seen 1.3 million trips routed through its app since Apple decided to ditch Google Maps in favor of its own solution, which lacks integrated transit mapping options. Embarks' suite of apps, which serve customers across 12 U.S. and international transit systems, have also been downloaded over 100,000 times since iOS 6 arrived, representing a h

Songza, a free app that streams expertly curated playlists to your phone, tablet or computer based on your activities, has topped 1 million downloads in Canada. The app only launched a couple months ago (70 days ago, to be exact). It goes to show the power of a creative business model. Songza competes in an incredibly crowded space, yet does so in an entirely unique way. Unlike Pandora, Songza's playlists are curated by music experts to match various moods, activities, seasons, and genres.

App store analytics firm Distimo is rebranding its cross-platform app tracking service known as Distimo Monitor to Distimo Analytics today, and adding a new data service for mobile app developers and investors called AppIQ. While the main analytics offering will allow developers to track their own apps for free, AppIQ will provide additional competitive information on a subscription basis. This includes the ability to track and compare app downloads with competitors, tools to analyze revenues (including in
