Advertising mobile apps faces a lot of friction. You have to advertise it, get someone to tap on the ad, download the app, and then start to actually use it. A lot of people drop out before they ever finish that process. But that’s just one of the problems that 1App is addressing with its cloud-based version of Android.

The Menlo Park, California-based startup has taken the disruptive cloud-streaming technology and applied it to the problem of app discovery. Now you can use 1App’s OneOS to instantly deliver a mobile app to someone who wants to try it out.
