DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

Web traffic, app reach and release cadence

Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.

App reach by segment

A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.

Release cadence by quarter

New apps published, beside apps whose most recent update landed in that quarter — the second bar is how much of the shelf is still being maintained.

2022Q4: 22022Q4: 02022Q42023Q1: 32023Q1: 02023Q12023Q3: 32023Q3: 02023Q32024Q1: 22024Q1: 02024Q12024Q2: 22024Q2: 12024Q22024Q3: 22024Q3: 22024Q32024Q4: 12024Q4: 12024Q42025Q1: 32025Q1: 42025Q12025Q2: 52025Q2: 22025Q22025Q3: 22025Q3: 92025Q32026Q1: 12026Q1: 82026Q1

Darker bars are new releases, lighter bars apps updated. 97 of 99 apps carry a release date. The series ends at 2026Q1, the last quarter that closed before the June 2026 reading.

UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPE

Online Learning in San Francisco: key questions

Clear definitions for making better comparisons.

What does this landscape measure?

It measures the tracked company ecosystem, recorded funding, hiring and other available evidence. It is not a market-size estimate.

Can segment counts be added together?

No. A company can belong to several segments, so segment counts and funding can overlap.

What does a missing figure mean?

A dash or unavailable panel means the current reviewed source snapshot does not support that figure.
