Throughout the last year we have grown to almost 40 apprupt App Stores on partnering portals. Most of these stores are on a mobile website.

Lately, we have been focussing on extending our reach regarding in-app App Stores as well. This is important to us, as we want to reach users where they are and provide a great service to our partners regardless of whether they operate a mobile website, an app or both.

So check out the new inside-handy app and our store in it (download here). The app is free to download and provides news and information regarding mobile in general as well as detailed information on mobile phones. They also also do podcasts, so the app should definitely be worth the download.

If you are a publisher with a mobile website or app and want to monetize your existing traffic and provide additional value to your users, please get in touch.

We have recently gone live with yet another apprupt App Store. This time for the impulse website (yes, online), which is a monthly magazine for entrepreneurs. Since it’s an online store, you can browse it right here. It features a selection of communication, productivity, finance and business apps. Check it out and let us know what you think.

And (not getting tired of repeating) if you are a publisher with a mobile website or app and want to monetize your existing traffic and provide additional value to your users, please get in touch.
