"Ever wish you could look into a crystal ball and know what a mobile app will be worth in the future?  \nMobile app marketplace Apptopia thinks it has discovered the secret formula, and in the process created the perfect brokering company for the sale and acquisition of mobile apps.\nLaunched a year ago, the company announced Wednesday that it\u2019s reached over $1 million in sales over the course of year, $850,000 of which has been paid out to developers.\nNow the company is relaunching its website with a shift toward a more investment/ROI-focused model, specifically how an app\u2019s current activity in terms of downloads, reviews, and ratings can be monetized to make a return.\nApptopia is able to make a 6-month projection for an app based on data currently available, and determine the 6-month projected revenue for an app, as well as the projected monthly ad revenue for an app before ads are even installed.\nThe updated site will also offer sentiment analysis of what people are saying about a particular application, and offers a way for investors to search for apps based on those that have been downloaded the most, had the most profit, and are likely to have the shortest return.\nCheck out the infographic below for a look at a few top apps and what Apptopia would currently value them at.\n\nMashable composite, images via iStockphoto, svariophoto and Apptopia.
