iManila jumps to #1 Top Paid iPhone App

First reported over at PTB, the iManila iPhone App has jumped to #1 spot as the Top Paid iPhone App for about a week now.

“iManila gives you easy access to an online phone “Yellow Pages Directory” for finding shops, businesses, restaurants and bars in the Philippines.” The iManila app was developed by MangoCode, one of the few apps deveoped specifically for the Philippines (and uses DPC’s Luk4.com as source of data).

It is estimated that in order to be on the top spot for paid iPhone Apps, you need at least 10,000 downloads (I have this hunch though the the Top Apps are listed by country of origin of registered users. If so, iManila is the #1 Paid App downloaded in the Philippines).

The iManila app allegedly started out as a free app, then was labeled as a paid app for $0.99PHP 58INR 84EUR 0.94CNY 7. It is now priced at $1.99PHP 117INR 169EUR 2CNY 14 in the Apple App Store. It’s possible the developers have already earned several thousands of dollars from iManila alone. If that’s the case, there’s hope that more and more Filipino iPhone developers can make good money out of this.

  1. the rankings are sorted by country. the same with comments. only those made from the same country as where you’re viewing the app store will appear.

  2. So it may not be the #1 paid app overall… but it shows that Pinoys are willing to pay for iPhone apps, no?

  3. Well another hurray for Filipinos!

  4. Considering how much the iManila costs, it is quite a bargain. For just PhP92(assuming the exchange rate is PhP42==$1) you could access a lot of information, from where to dine to the place where to buy that exotic plant.

  5. Sorry, i typed 42 instead of 46. My bad

  6. great app for my iphone!

  7. You can download iManila for FREE at ******* for jailbroken iPhone.

  8. why not just use the iphone browser and access eyp.ph? i assume the imanila app also does searches online

  9. This site does nothing more than scrape Luk4.com – those guys could shut this app down in 24 hours if they wanted to.

  10. Better, LUK4 and other portals should develop their own apps.
