As a self-learning system, Zedge’s recommendation engine continually improves upon its selection process resulting in a custom, highly personalized content acquisition and discovery service.

“Our approach to content discovery and the years of investment we’ve made on Android will immediately benefit iPhone users,” said Tom Arnoy, CEO and Co-Founder of Zedge. “We've experienced a marked increase in user engagement on Android as measured by daily average users and downloads pointing to the relevancy and accuracy of our recommendations.
