U.S. Mobile App Engagement

Overview

Built around an anonymized, opt-in consumer panel, GWS’s Magnify provides critical insights into smartphone engagement – from understanding customer expectations to measuring mobile app usage and network performance. Magnify provides timely insights, extracted from our consumer panel, to companies, investors, and analysts wanting to understand how consumers engage, how products and services are used and viewed, and which brands are competitive and trending up or down. Data is collected from consumer Android smartphones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whenever and wherever consumers use their devices.
