One year ago we posted an entry on this blog reporting info about our Android app BilbaoBus and its statistics.
Let's review our statistics one year later and so we'll see not only BilbaoBus evolution but also the Spanish market evolution (BilbaoBus is a transportation local app and 99% of the users are located in Spain).

statistics
Let's start with today's numbers. If we would like to repeat the same title than one year ago it would be: BilbaoBus Report - 17 months - 6 releases - 15506 downloads
During this last year (from April 12 to April 13) we were focused on Bilbao Bus for 3 months and the past July 12 we uploaded our last "big" release to Google Play (v0.9.4), the following versions would include only small improvements. After this, we were involved in other projects and Bilbao Bus was growing in the market "alone". In that moment it had a very good rating (4,6), it was well positioned on Google Play and it was the first transportation app in Bilbao (in downloads) for Android.
If we compare the numbers with the statistics showed one year ago in our first post, we notice the following things:
- We are keeping a constant downloads from the users (about 5000 downloads each 6 months)
- In the last year we have decreased the rate between downloads and active users. One year ago we were had 67% and now we are in 50,30%. Anyway, the important question is which of the 7800 active users are using the app regularly (we'll see in a future post).
- The "Install per month" graph gives us an interesting data. Checking the numbers from Dec 11th to April 12th vs Dec 12th to April 13th, we notice that they have the same performance, they increase from Dec to Jan and in the following months there's a constant decreased of downloads.
Other statistics
One year ago 70,97% of our users had a Gingerbread today we down to 49,09%. Obviously, the users moved to ICS and Jelly Bean. Anyway, it looks like the penetration of these version in Spain is a bit slower than the rest of the world for transport apps.
Regarding devices we see how Samsung gets 7 devices in the Top Ten. But there's other important data to take into account: the last year only 38,71% of the devices were in "Others" but now it grows to 59,34%. It means that device market continue breaking up in multiple manufacturer.

user ratings
We decreased a bit the average rating from 4,6 to 4,36, it's not very significant due to the increment of users but we'll keep an eye on it.
The most negative opinion from our users are always relative to the real time data. As we explained in the app info, the app is not showing real time because it's not connected to BilboBus servers. We were in contact with Bilbao council to get connection with their servers without success. We provide info based on official timetable and we CALCULATE the time based on that info.
