Surpassing 100 Million Users, APUS Becomes Youngest Company in Top 10 Global Developers

BEIJING and LOS ANGELES, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- APUS Group, a Beijing-based Android app development company that creates products to enhance the mobile experience for users worldwide, announced that in January they reached 100 million users on their most popular app, APUS Launcher. And according to data analysis site App Annie, APUS Group became the 9th most popular developer in the Google Play Store worldwide.

For APUS Group, it means reaching the 100-million-user milestone just six months after the release of APUS Launcher. "APUS always comes up with the best and the first of anything with regards to programming," commented Obi Alexander Madubuachi, a fan from Nigeria, on the group's Facebook page. Comments like Mr. Madubuachi's are abundant as APUS has over 1.7 million likes on Facebook.

Because of its ever-growing user base, APUS Group quickly assumed its place among the top 10 global Internet developers including Facebook, Microsoft and Google. Having only launched in July 2014, APUS Group is the youngest company on the list.

"We are so excited by our users' positive response," said Tao Li, Founder and CEO of APUS Group. "Smartphone users around the world are dedicated to their Android devices, and APUS User System is dedicated to giving them the best, most intuitive user experience possible."

APUS User System, a new philosophy envisioned by APUS Group, is a user-centric system based on the Android operating system. While the operating system is dedicated to machine interaction and the user system is dedicated to the end user, the designs between these two are totally different.

APUS's User System consists of five parts that work cohesively to offer users a better experience. These include accelerated control system management, simplified user interface, intelligent information management, more efficient app management, and integrated social management.
