DU Recorder’s rapid growth led it to become the No.1 screen
recorder app on the U.S. Google Play store in February 2018. The
majority of DU Recorder’s users are in the U.S., India and Brazil,
and many of them use the app to record or livestream mobile
games.
To provide greater insight into the growing trend of mobile
livestreaming, the DU Recorder team released an infographic on the
demographics and recording habits of its users. Highlights from the
infographic are below:
- The biggest demographic out of all of
DU Recorder’s users is 18-24-year-old males, at 35.8 percent.
- The No.1 most recorded game on DU
Recorder is Minecraft Pocket Edition, making up 34 percent of all
recorded content.
- After recording, most users share their
videos on YouTube or WhatsApp, which make up a combined 47 percent
of DU Recorder’s video sharing landscape. Only 1 percent of users
share their videos on Facebook.
DU Recorder’s product team has even more features in store for
its rapidly-growing user base. “In the near future, DU Recorder
will launch a live trivia show that allows users to earn real money
by answering questions within the app,” said DU Recorder product
manager Jingmin Zhang. “For all the serious YouTubers out there, we
will automatically sync your followers between DU Recorder and
YouTube, to make sharing and livestreaming seamless. We’re also
excited to announce that we now support PayPal for live
streamers.”
When it comes to future plans and product enhancements, the DU
Recorder team has big ambitions. “The people have spoken – DU
Recorder is now the top recording app in some of the largest
countries in the world,” said Zhang. “Now, we look forward to
continuous momentum of downloads and more features to delight our
users.”
