“We think APPS is becoming the ROKU of smartphones. APPS has established itself as the Switzerland of app platforms. App developers can pay APPS to include their app on a smartphone’s initial setup for a new customer. APPS allows app developers to target specific customers across AT&T and Verizon,” noted the firm, as quoted by Street Insider. 

In addition, “As of September 22nd APPS was awarded their Single Tap patent, which allows users to download an app from the current app they are in. Previously, users would click to download an app and be brought to the Google Store to download the app they want. Single Tap will make it easier for users to download apps by taking out a step in the process.”
