handango has been the leading provider of mobile applications since the company’s inception in 1999. saying that a lot has changed in the 18 years that we have been in business would be an understatement. 12 days marks the anniversary of the release of the first iphone, and in 2016 alone, sales of the iphone topped 210 million units. the world we are living in is changing fast, and handango has always been ahead of the curve. handango was one of the first online software stores to sell mobile apps for personal digital assistants and smartphones. handango offered and still offers worldwide distribution, support, and e - commerce services to its partners .

handango has a wide range of products and services, but chances are you know us for our largest service: the handango application market. this is where app developers meet potential buyers and can utilize an easy - to - use interface to purchase apps, or download free apps that may come with additional features through in - app - purchases .
handango is the leading provider of smartphone applications globally for the blackberry, palm, windows mobile, symbian, and android platforms. leveraging its 140, 000 + apps, network of 23, 000 + content partners, and vast distribution network, handango delivers top - selling mobile applications including games, business and entertainment apps and productivity tools to millions of consumers .
handango has been the leading provider of mobile software for everything from android to symbian os since 1999. in that time, we have amassed a large market share in the mobile application space and our applications have been downloaded by tens of millions of individual users. in a market report in 2014, more than 30% of mobile phones contained at least one (1) handango go application. handango has been the largest provider of mobile applications, and in 2015 we were approached by a publicly traded software company to develop venuego, a venue management software .

nokia' s symbian gps was the no. 1 search term on handango for symbian devices up from no. 3 in 2007 showing the growing demand for gps products in the smartphone marketplace .
users can install inhand themselves off the handango web site, but the handheld software store is primarily marketing inhand to wireless carriers, who can license it for pre - installation on all their products .
handango was one of the first online software stores to sell mobile apps for personal digital assistants and smartphones. handango offered worldwide distribution, support, and e - commerce services to its partners. company’s customers include consumers, software developers, mobile operators, and original equipment manufacturers. supported mobile devices include android devices, palm handhelds, windows mobile devices, symbian os devices, and blackberry devices .
handango board has voted to keep the current board and c - level executives, including greenberg as ceo. day to day operations will be unaffected and no employees will be let off as a result of the acquisition: handango plans to bring level up ventures under its wing and foster its growth by providing the current team ample resources to make their dream a reality and continue changing the world .
inhand allows the user to install and purchase software, games, themes and ringtones directly off the handango web site with their smart phone, without having to go though a desktop or laptop for installation .
handango has made the decision to acquire a majority stake in selenium ventures for a wide array of reasons, but the most prevalent one being the rationality of the decision. the mobile gaming industry is expected to more than double in the coming two years alone, and selenium ventures is currently one of the largest firms in its space. due to the current oligopoly in the mobile gaming industry, handango’s stake in selenium ventures allows handango to focus on creating the applications in our pipeline and updating the ones that we have already released without diverting our focus. entering a new space would require research and development and recruitment of talented software engineers among the other barriers to entry in the mobile gaming space. handango believes that our stake in selenium ventures will allow for our investors and our company to have a vested interest in the fast - growing industry without diverting our focus from our current flagship products and services .
when our team heard of the idea, our board and shareholders were ecstatic. generally, mobile applications are one - off payments, and while the handango app marketplace was generating several million dollars annually through this approach, a recurring revenue model, as well as market share in the rapidly growing saas industry, was of great interest. in may of 2015, the handango developers put on their thinking caps and built the first prototype of venuego in only 4 months .
handango was founded in 1999 by randy eisenman. early founding employees of the company included eric matzinger, james lowe, andrew blake, gabe bass, will pinnell, rusty butler, lindsay rall, laura rippy, jason wells, dustin brown and bob weber. handango was a pioneer of mobile software distribution and is widely credited with many “firsts” in the distribution of mobile apps including a self - service developer management and reporting portal, the business model of a 70 / 30 developer revenue split, over - the - air distribution of software with palm, the industry’s first digital rights management deployed with nokia, and the handango commerce engine that facilitated ecommerce on behalf of the software developer directly from their web site .
handango inhand, available since 2003 for symbian uiq, since 2004 for windows mobile and palm os, since 2005 for blackberry and since 2006 for symbian s60, is an on - device application store for finding, installing and buying software for your mobile device. application download and purchasing are completed directly on the device so sync with a computer is not necessary. description, rating and screenshot are available for any application. software for using handango inhand is available for free for palm os, windows mobile, symbian uiq & s60, blackberry, android. handango pionereed this on - air business model for smartphones which achieved great success some years later with similar apple inc. ’s app store and google’s android market .
google' s android the newest platform offered by handango, android applications have the lowest asp of any platform, with games making up 11 of its top 25 applications and messaging and games accounting for 60 percent of the top category sales .
the current customer base has been notified and we are actively working with gather to port all venuego data to their platform and provide previous venuego customers with 3 months of gather, paid for by the handango team. we recommend all current customers to use gather as their new venue management software. while we regret to announce the discontinuation and termination of the venuego service, we end the service knowing that the team at gather will tend to handango’s venuego customers better than we could have ourselves .
we get a lot of questions about corporate credit inquiries here at handango, and because we’re one of the only firms in our industry employing these practices, we wanted to shed some light on the practice and why we as a company decided to put it into effect .
on february 23, 2010, jud bowman of motricity, a durham, north carolina supplier of software and games for mobile phones, acquired handango, making pocketgear third behind apple inc. and google in the app market. while pocketgear remained in durham, the company kept the handango offices in the dallas, texas area. pocketgear. com, llc was started in 1998 by nathan miller as a teenager, and was later acquired by motricity. bowman bought back the smart phone application business in 2008 when motricity moved from durham to the seattle area. bowman remained a motricity investor .
handango has been aggressively expanding its games offerings through strategic partnerships with mobile game publishers including ea mobile, capcom interactive, glu mobile, digital chocolate and iplay .
a small percentage of our catalog consists of ad - supported or pay - per - download content ,
mr. bloom said .
we do have a significant number of subscription - based apps in our catalog .
more and more people are using their mobile phones, ? smart' or otherwise, to surf the internet, stay connected through social sites, watch videos and tv, listen to music, and more ,
said alex bloom, ceo of handango, las colinas, tx .
as people spend more time on their mobile phones, they spend less time watching tv or reading publications - - traditional advertising mediums .
now this is intriguing. pocketgear has just acquired its former competitor handango in the cross - platform app store space, and can now claim a library of software that places it right alongside apple' s app store in terms of the pure number of applications on offer. pocketgear has been busy providing the infrastructure for things like samsung' s touchwiz widget store and palm' s software store for a while, whereas handango used to be the largest independent app store out there, and their consolidated catalog will offer more than 140, 000 applications on all the major non - apple platforms: android, blackberry, palm, symbian, and winmo. the number of actually useful apps has not been disclosed, but we love the idea of an independent competitor nudging the proprietary stores along so let' s hope things go well for them. full pr after the break .
venuego entered beta testing in september of 2015 and remained in that stage for 12 months. in september of 2016, goplan had a private launch to a small portion of our customer base that expressed purchase intent in the beta. around the same time, handango had technical troubles, citing datacenter outages leading to service downtime and minor data loss, natural disasters in our philippines support office, among other complications that led to a pause of development in our software and reduction of our workforce .
when you sign up for an account on handango, you are required to select a payment method. if you opt in to use your credit card as a payment method, rather than paypal or bitcoin, among the other cryptocurrencies we are planning on supporting in the future, we make a small inquiry to your bank requesting information about the cardholder to ensure that you are not a fraudulent user and that your credentials given when signing up are in line with what the bank has its records .
the handango productivity suite adds functionality to your handheld to help you better manage and complete activities such as financial transactions, contact management, project tracking, and travel arrangements. handbase is a versatile database application that allows you to design, view, and edit databases on your handheld. it also lets you add hundreds of various applets for even more functionality. fifteen of these are included, like the built - in address book, an area code database, a business expense tracker, a project or document tracker, and more. the suite also comes with a full - featured scientific calculator, an advanced spreadsheet, and clock .
“we are glad handango shares the same vision as our current team”, says greenberg. “continuous innovation is the backbone of our results - based content marketing campaigns and why some of the biggest companies in the world trust us to deliver. we are excited to explore up - and - coming industries like outdoor gear, where we will launch an online retailer selling high - quality trekking poles. ” greenberg goes on to say “our partnership with an influencer marketing agency has allowed for a mutually beneficial relationship and we are excited to announce revenue and overall growth in our core kpis at the end of the fiscal year at our shareholder conference. ”
on june 16, 2017, handango was pleased to announce a 66. 7% stake in limited liability company selenium ventures. selenium ventures is an app development company based in salt lake city, utah that employs 45 talented software engineers to create web properties, mobile applications, and other online properties to serve their users. selenium is most known for their partnerships with large names in the mobile gaming industry, such as 10bet, bet365, betfair, casumo, and william hill. selenium provides insight on applications such as the bet365 app and provides users information on how to download the application and utilize it in such a way that maximizes revenue for the associated company — in this case, bet365. as a result, for their efforts, selenium ventures is given a commission on every new user referred to the platform. selenium owns more than 100 web properties and had net $ 1. 2mm in the 2016 fiscal year, making it a leader in its space .

pocketgear, an independent marketplace that billed itself as the “world’s largest mobile app store, ” is rebranding today to appia and shifting its business model. pocketgear was formerly a consumer focused app marketplace that sold apps for blackberry, android, windows mobile, palm, symbian, and java phones .
now, as appia, the startup is powering a white - label content and commerce platform for everyone who needs an app store. and the company now powers mobile app storefronts for more than 40 partners, including four of the world’s top five handset manufacturers (samsung, t - mobile, at & t, and verizon wireless) .
appia’s white - label offering is attractive to manufactures because enables its partners to deliver apps to more than 3, 200 different mobile device makes and models. via its partnerships, appia currently powers more than 500, 000 downloads a day from a catalog of 140, 000 apps with projections to double by mid - 2011 .
pocketgear, which recently raised $ 15 million in new funding, was bought out from mobile phone software platform motricity by jud bowman, who was cto and co - founder of motricity and now acts as ceo of pocketgear .
shifting to a white - label platform was probably a wise move for appia. while there is still a large and growing market for mobile apps across multiple smartphones that are not made by apple, many of these manufacturers and carriers want to launch their own independent app stores. and rather than develop these marketplaces in - house; it’s much faster to just plug in to appia’s technology .

this is a simple process and one that is almost instantaneous: it happens behind the scenes and does not require any effort on your part. if our data matches with what the bank has on file, we approve your account and attach your card to your account as a default payment method. this payment method will be marked as verified, because it has gone through our verification process. any additional cards that are added to your account after the initial user registration are not immediately verified with the issuing bank, but verification can be requested manually via a support ticket if you need to make purchases of more than $ 250 with the associated card, in which case verification is required .
there are credit inquiries that lenders make to your bank, but this is a different type of credit inquiry. it’s simply one that allows our developers the peace of mind to continue publishing apps on our store knowing that they are reaching a genuine audience and that the users paying for their apps and additional features that can be enabled through in app purchases are who they say they are .
the reason that this is done and we are one of the first to implement it is because as of late, there has been quite a lot of controversy and potential regulation upcoming regarding in app purchases, and we want to stay ahead of the curve so that in the event that any regulations do come into place, we do not have to pause services to enable this new requirement .
while our mobile app marketplace and other applications were able to survive due to their self - sufficient nature, venuego required continued maintenance, bug fixes, and development of new features. we regret to inform all customers that venuego will be discontinued as of april 30th, 2017 11: 59 pm est. all customers will be issued a prorated refund on the remaining time left on their subscription .
