Dear all Just a thought, but diary apps might show a seasonal surge ? Possibly without the second smaller spike which shows up in sales for academic year paper diaries? Yes it's always summer somewhere! But also a new year synchronised to January 1 on the Gregorian calendar?

That notion of censorship brings up another curious possibility.

Is it possible that the lack of temporal change (a-seasonality?) is indicative of the 'echo chamber' effect where we are not externally prompted by 'natural' cycles of change in the way that we used to be so we are less apt to expect or embrace change as a regular occurrence that we must confront regularly?

Again, not a matter of cause and effect so much as a dispositional shift through ordinary behavioural fixedness rather than start-stop-restart rhythms.

Following the thread with great interest, and compelled to add the aspect of platform curation, i.e. censorship of apps that permits (or decides) when they may be in or out of season, is it a flavor of the month thing? Not sure. But it does complicate the notion of consumer behavior.

Case in point, the app that was rejected 12 times by Apple, only to be allowed, and then rejected again: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheinterc... apple-accepts-app-that-tracks-u-s-drone-strikes/

I would think you could peg app genre to the industry SIC or NAICS codes used in the consumer behavior literature, and pick out some similarities and differences there.

This is probably too obvious, but I betcha travel apps are used more in North America in the summer: Google Maps, hotel.com, iExit, trip-advisor. Because there is more leisure travel by people who don't know their way
