By David Curry Verified| Business of Apps Verified The health and fitness app industry covers three main pillars: health, fitness and wellness. All three are connected to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and apps tend to pick and choose a few things to track from each. This was one of the industries that had both positive and negative effects from the pandemic. Home workouts shot up in usage, while all gyms were closed for a time. Wellness apps also noticed an uptick in users.
By David Curry Verified| Business of Apps Verified Music streaming service Amazon Prime Music started life as Amazon MP3, an iTunes-like digital distributor of MP3 downloads. Amazon was the first digital operator to offer music without digital rights management (DRM) and watermarks, a big accomplishment at the time as many publishers were still opposed to digital in all forms. When it launched its music streaming service in the early 2010s, it offered the streaming service to Prime users at no additional cost.
