LifeApps Digital Media (OTCQX: LFAP) is uniquely positioned in the mobile sector as one of the few companies that has tied APPs to physical products in sports and fitness.
Businesses recognize mobile solutions are becoming a key component in their growth strategies. Nokia (NYSE: NOK) recently released a study demonstrating the average user checks their mobile phone about 150 times per day.
By the end of 2013 there will be more mobile phones than people on Earth. At present, approximately 28% of media budgets are devoted to digital spend. The advertising spend on mobile strategies is expected to swell to nearly 40% by 2016 according to Price, Waterhouse, Coopers.
China’s giant search engine company Baidu (NYSE: BIDU) recently entered an MOU (memo of understanding) to purchase 91 Wireless from parent company NetDragon for $1.9 Billion in cash. 91 Wireless is an APP development company. Yahoo!’s (NASDAQ: YHOO) resurgence this year from $20 to a recent high of $30 in 2013 has been fueled by acquisitions. New CEO Marissa Mayer has been employing start-up purchases to reinvigorate the company and secure talent.
Recently Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) acquired Bignoggins, the creators of several sports related mobile apps for an undisclosed amount.

Larry Isen, Editor of the OTC Journal states:
“In my view, it’s only a matter of time before investors seek smaller, innovative companies in the mobile space. LifeApps (OTCQX: LFAP), as one of the few companies that has tied APP development to physical products, is uniquely positioned to attract investor attention as their product portfolio grows and existing products generate higher levels of revenue” To experience the quality of their content, I strongly recommend you subscribe to YouWorkout through the iTunes Store or Googleplay on your tablet device. The experience represents the future of magazine publishing”.
