whoshere-screenshotAccording to metrics released by Admob, WhosHere is in the top 5% of all free apps that run across the Admob network.  A little over 100 applications have more than 100,000 users a month in a review of over 2,300 free iPhone apps that run on the Admob network.

The Admob report states “5 percent of applications had more than 100,000 active users in May 2009.”[1]  WhosHere uses Admob, among others, to provide ads to WhosHere users.  Just under 90 percent of WhosHere users were presented Admob ads in May.

WhosHere has substantially more than 100,000 users per month.  The extremely popular iPhone application is also in the top-20 of all Social Networking apps on Apple’s iTunes App Store.  And, last Thursday, WhosHere users sent a record 1.6 million text and image messages in a 24 hour period.  WhosHere is used by people in over 150 countries.

WhosHere is a social proximity application that enables users to meet friends, potential dates or network through an exceptionally simple interface. WhosHere will show you matches that are near you or anywhere in the world based on your answers to a few questions about yourself and who you are interested in meeting. It takes the chance out of the chance encounter. When you find someone you want to talk with, you can send unlimited, free text and image messages to them; all within the WhosHere application.

WhosHere runs on Apple’s iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S and iPod touch and is available for free download on the iTunes App Store and can easily be found at myRete.com/download. Users of WhosHere can find online help at myRete.com/support and on the WhosHere page on YouTube (http://YouTube.com/WhosHerebyMyRete).

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
