What calendars are used in Ethiopia for business and personal use?
Hello! Thanks for your question about calendars used in Ethiopia for business and personal use. The short version is that after searching extensively through app databases, iTunes, and Google Play, we found several Ethiopian calendars available for both Android and Apple-based phones. However, we have been unable to find precise download data for the apps, and a vague range of 100,000-300,000+ downloads. Below you will find a deep dive of my research and methodology.
METHODOLOGY
After searching exhaustively, I have not been able to find any statistics that clearly define any usage data specific in Ethiopia. First, I looked through popular Ethiopian calendar apps on Google Play and iTunes. Next, I looked through the apps which provide the monthly active users for each app. However, I did not find any statistics that were filterable by country. Since all of the apps are free, there was no publicly available revenue data to reference.
HELPFUL FINDINGS
While I could not find a direct answer to your question, I was able to gather some information about this topic, which I think will be helpful for your project.
Ethiopian Calendar (ቀን መቁጠሪያ) - 100,000+ installs with a rating of 4.4 . This is considered one of the Ethiopian calendar apps for Android. It works for past and future years, allows for conversion to-and-from the Ethiopian and Gregorian dates. It includes all political and religious days. The Ethiopian Calendar (ቀን መቁጠሪያ) calendar includes past and future calendar, supports conversion to Gregorian calendar and vice versa, and shows political and other important holidays.
Ethiopian Calendar/EtCal - 100,000+ installs with a rating of 4.3. Ethiopian Calendar/EtCal is an app used to track date and holidays in Ethiopian calendar .It can also be used to convert dates from/to Gregorian calendar & view Ethiopian national holidays (including Muslim's holiday), Ethiopian Orthodox fasts & feasts, and internationally recognized dates.
Ethiopian Calendar (EthioCalendar) - 100,000+ installs with a rating of 4.1. Ethiopian Calendar also called the Ge'ez calendar; is the main (national) calendar used in Ethiopia for every daily activity. The biggest difference with the Gregorian calendar is that the Ethiopian calendar has 13 months. Out of which 12 months have 30 days and the last month has 5 or 6 days (depending on if there is a leap year.) The leap year will have 6 days every four years."Moreover it can also be used for planning and scheduling any daily routine and special activities throughout the year."
POSSIBLE CONTINUED RESEARCH
In understanding what types of information are and are not publicly available about Ethiopian calendar apps.I would suggest
you to give us permission to use general usage data instead of country-specific, we might be able to find some data to rank the apps as requested.
CONCLUSION
To wrap it up, after searching extensively through the application data-tracking websites, a direct answer to your question is not publicly available because these apps are free, and therefore there is very limited data. If we could look at general usage data rather than country-specific, we might get better results. Out of Ethiopian calendars available for both Android and Apple-based phones, I learned that EtCal appears to be the most popular app, with multiple features for manipulating dates between the Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars. However, I have been unable to find precise download data for the apps, only a vague range of 100,000-300,000+ downloads. Also, it doesn't define whether the apps are used for business or personal use. Thanks for using wonder. If you’d like to continue research on the other topic I’ve outlined above, just let us know!
