  • Chapter # 1 Introduction
    Chapter # 1 Introduction Mobile applications (apps) have been gaining rising popularity dueto the advances in mobile technologies and the large increase in the number of mobile users. Consequently, several app distribution platforms, which provide a new way for developing, downloading, and updating software applications in modern mobile devices, have recently emerged. To better understand the download patterns, popularity trends, and development strategies in this rapidly evolving mobile app ecosystem, we systematically monitored and analyzed four popular third-party Android app marketplaces. Our study focuses on measuring, analyzing, and modeling the app popularity distribution, and explores how pricing and revenue strategies affect app popularity and developers’ income. Our results indicate that unlike web and peer-to-peer file sharing workloads, the app popularity distribution deviates from commonly observed Zipf-like models. We verify that these deviations can be mainly attributed to a new download pattern, to which we refer as the clustering effect. We validate the existence of this effect by revealing a strong temporal affinity of user downloads to app categories. Based on these observations, we propose a new formal clustering model for the distribution of app downloads, and demonstrate that it closely fits measured data. Moreover, we observe that paid apps follow a different popularity distribution than free apps, and show how free apps with an ad-based revenue strategy may result in higher financial benefits than paid apps. We believe that this study can be useful to appstore designers for improving content delivery and recommendation systems, as well as to app developers for selecting proper pricing policies to increase their income.

  • A Comparison of Mobile Application Adoption Between Chinese and Us College Students
    WHY DO WE CHOOSE THIS APP? A COMPARISON OF MOBILE APPLICATION ADOPTION BETWEEN CHINESE AND US COLLEGE STUDENTS Chenjie Zhang A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2018 Committee: Louisa Ha, Advisor Patrick D. Pauken Graduate Faculty Representative Lisa Hanasono Kate Magsamen-Conrad © 2018 Chenjie Zhang All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Louisa Ha, Advisor The present cross-cultural study applies the regulatory focus theory developed by Higgins and modifies the cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede to explore and compare the relationships between cultural values and the focused strategic means college consumers use in China and the US. In total, 377 Chinese and 403 US college students participated in a survey to reveal the relations between variables of app download and their cultural values. In addition, for a deeper and insightful understanding of the app download behavior, the method of semi-structured interview was used to raise participants’ and the researcher’s consciousness of and critical reflections upon app download processes and experiences. The research results are five-fold: First, Chinese college students share similar scores of four cultural dimensions with the US college students, and there is no difference in indulgence between the two countries. Second, country is a more powerful variable than cultural dimensions in model testing in terms of differentiating consumers’ regulatory focus. US consumers are more likely to be promotion focused and Chinese consumers are likely to be prevention focused. Third, promotion focused consumers are likely to seek both hedonic and utilitarian gratifications, and to heuristically process information.

  • Hearing Aid Compatibility with Blackberry Smartphones
    Hearing Aid Compatibility with BlackBerry Smartphones About hearing aid compatibility Several BlackBerry smartphones have received certification from the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stating that the smartphones meet the hearing aid compatibility requirements. BlackBerry smartphones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than wireless devices that are not rated. M4 is the higher of the two ratings. BlackBerry smartphones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more compatible with a hearing device's telecoil (T-coil, T Switch, or Telephone Switch) than wireless devices that are not rated. T4 is the higher of the two ratings. Not all hearing devices have telecoils in them. Results might vary depending on the hearing device and the degree of hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you might not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. The best way to evaluate compatibility of your hearing device and a rated wireless device is to test the devices together and consult with your hearing health professional. For more information about hearing aid compatibility, see the Description of Hearing Aid Compliance Ratings booklet at http://www.blackberry.com/accessibility. Hearing aid compatibility ratings The following table lists BlackBerry smartphones rated for hearing aid compatibility and their respective M and T ratings. Note: M and T compatibility ratings apply only to cellular bands. Smartphone Wi-Fi

  • Towards Understanding and Detecting Fake Reviews in App Stores
    Empirical Software Engineering https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-019-09706-9 Towards understanding and detecting fake reviews in app stores Daniel Martens1 · Walid Maalej1 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract App stores include an increasing amount of user feedback in form of app ratings and reviews. Research and recently also tool vendors have proposed analytics and data mining solutions to leverage this feedback to developers and analysts, e.g., for supporting release decisions. Research also showed that positive feedback improves apps’ downloads and sales figures and thus their success. As a side effect, a market for fake, incentivized app reviews emerged with yet unclear consequences for developers, app users, and app store opera- tors. This paper studies fake reviews, their providers, characteristics, and how well they can be automatically detected. We conducted disguised questionnaires with 43 fake review providers and studied their review policies to understand their strategies and offers. By com- paring 60,000 fake reviews with 62 million reviews from the Apple App Store we found significant differences, e.g., between the corresponding apps, reviewers, rating distribution, and frequency. This inspired the development of a simple classifier to automatically detect fake reviews in app stores. On a labelled and imbalanced dataset including one-tenth of fake reviews, as reported in other domains, our classifier achieved a recall of 91% and an AUC/ROC value of 98%. We discuss our findings and their impact on software engineering, app users, and app store operators. Keywords Fake reviews · App reviews · User feedback · App stores 1 Introduction In app stores, users can rate downloaded apps on a scale from 1 to 5 stars and write a review message.
