Google Glass Porn Coming to MiKandi

Google Glass on MiKandi Porn App Store

We just picked up a pair of Google Glass! We’re thrilled to be one of the first (if not the only) porn store to start creating apps and content with Google Glass.

With close to 8000 adult apps in the market today, we’ve seen the future of adult entertainment and it’s awesome. It’s the live and personalized experiences that are driving revenue and innovation today. Some adult studios may be waiting on the sidelines to see how popular these get, but this is the kind of technology that gets us extra excited in the morning.  Watching porn or movies in general on Google Glasses is not quite there yet (and believe me, that’s the first thing we tried), but we love the idea of a very natural, wearable smart device that can create intimate, two-way adult experiences remotely.

Sharing POV porn is now even faster and easier than holding up your camera phone or using higher quality cameras like GoPro. How fun will it be to tap into your favorite porn star or cam model’s glass video stream? Or go down the rabbit hole further with us and imagine when devices, like Google Glass, can communicate with sex toys. That brings virtual sex to another level.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’re just excited to play around with them and start recording some pink parts.

So who would you want to see POV?

The new direction of the MiKandi Blog

April 25, 2013 by Leave a Comment

We’re making some changes over here and want to tell you all about it.

Since the beginning, the MiKandi blog has served as your source to stay up to date with MiKandi, sexy tech, Android, Apple, and more news. You could also find more details on great adult apps and videos as they’re introduced in our store. But we always felt this blog had too many voices. Some of our subscribers are press and media, others are developers, and others are customers. Press may not be too interested to see the NSFW images and icons of apps we highlight. Customers probably don’t care about our developer tips and tricks. So we decided to keep these distinct voices separate.

Starting today, blog.mikandi.com is your destination for all news, developer tips, design help, and tech related posts from MiKandi. You’ll find your RSS feed will contain less blowjobs and pink parts. There will still be some skin, but we’ll try to keep it as SFW as we can.

If you’re a customer and you’d like to stay in the know of our latest and greatest adult apps, MiKandi Gold giveaways, and funny sex pictures from the Interwebz, follow our brand new Tumblr blog, mikandi.tumblr.com. We promise that page will be very NSFW. In fact, follow or reblog us on Tumblr and enter a chance to win 1000 MiKandi Gold. Rules and Conditions.

Launched late 2009, our first-of-its-kind app store was met with tremendous support from Android users and developers who needed an adult-friendly app store to distribute their applications. In less than one week, MiKandi was downloaded over 80,000 times. That number jumped to 2 million by the beginning of 2012 with the launch of MiKandi Theater, the subscription-based mobile streaming service of adult content. By July of that year, we launched the HTML5 version of MiKandi Theater for all smartphones and tablets, including iPad, iPhone, and Windows Phone. MiKandi Theater is currently available worldwide to any adult with a connected mobile device.

The fact that we grew to this size organically, without any advertising dollars, is especially inspiring for us. It goes to show what happens when you focus on offering great customer service and treating adults like adults. We’re thankful to all of our customers and fans who’ve supported us over the past three years.

Android users can download MiKandi for free at http://mikandi.com, no registration required, and browse the adult app store’s catalog of thousands of applications. Alternatively, non-Android users can access MiKandi Theater, dubbed the “Netflix for porn”, on their smartphone or tablet by visiting http://mikandi.com/theater. All new customers enjoy a free 7 day trial with no registration or credit card required.

MiKandi partners with internet payment processor Segpay

May 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

segpay

SegPay internet payment processing service has moved into the mobile application space by partnering with MiKandi, the first app market for adult entertainment.

MiKandi users can now purchase apps with SegPay’s new and simple click feature for digital purchases. This allows consumers to purchase token packages and then apply those tokens towards the download of specific apps in the MiKandi store. Multiple apps can be purchased with a single SegPay checkout.

“Our partnership with MiKandi is SegPay’s first foray into a mobile application store front,” said Cathy Beardsley, president and CEO of SegPay. “There is tremendous potential for developers in the mobile space. By partnering with MiKandi, we position SegPay and our customers to benefit from new revenue streams.”

“Working with SegPay has been fantastic,” said Jesse Adams, CEO of MiKandi. “They’re responsive and they make it easier for our customers to pay for the apps and videos they want. We’re already seeing benefits from working with them.”

More than 100 million people in the United States use smart phones, according to the most recent comScore MobiLens report. The number of smart phone users has risen consistently over the past few years, as standard mobile phone users trade in their phones for devices with higher functionality. This provides web developers with new opportunities for growth. The SegPay — MiKandi partnership opens up these new venues to SegPay’s existing customers.

Official Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

MiKandi unveils its Theater, bringing adult video to the mobile consumer

Seattle, WA – March 29, 2012 “Mobile video already accounts for half of mobile bandwidth without us. Imagine what will happen now that we’re live,” quipped MiKandi CEO Jesse Adams as he announced the launch of the MiKandi Theater. The MiKandi Theater, a one-stop video destination for mobile consumers, is available today to MiKandi’s 2 million adult consumers, with content from 12 studios. “Since day one, we’ve been committed to enabling adults to get what they want and when they want it. Our customers have been clamoring for an easy and intuitive way to access their favorite adult videos and we’re excited to answer their requests with the MiKandi Theater. This is the climax of phase one in our company’s history.”

Today’s launch marks the culmination of months of deep collaboration between the MiKandi team and its launch partners. Studios like Elegant Angel, Wasteland, PinkTV, Burning Angel, Gamma Entertainment, and others have created channels in the MiKandi Theater and filled them with hundreds of videos. The success of MiKandi’s virtual currency with consumers has given the adult studios the confidence that consumers will purchase and subscribe to their content on a regular basis. MiKandi’s 100% customer satisfaction rate ensures that the chargebacks and failed credit card transactions that normally plague the adult industry are removed from the equation. With the billing and distribution covered, studios are free to focus on what they do best – creating incredible content and lasting brands.

The $7.99 monthly channel subscription price is reminiscent of other innovators in the video content space. “When MiKandi approached us to discuss the Theater and showed us the purchasing activity for apps, we couldn’t have said yes fast enough. It’s not every day you get to be involved in the launch of the Netflix for porn,” said Colin Rowntree, founder of Wasteland.com.

MiKandi’s customer focus has served it well over its first few years of operation, ensuring that customers feel they’re being treated like adults. Whether it’s responding to every customer who contacts the company or having a generous policy towards refunds and credits, the MiKandi team has been laser-focused on delivering the kind of experience that just isn’t available for most consumers of adult content. “We think that the lack of trust in our industry is the single biggest obstacle to success, so we’ve built ourselves around delighting customers first and grown from there,” said Adams.

The MiKandi Theater is available today to everyone using the free MiKandi app, available at http://m.mikandi.com The MiKandi team is already working with other studios to expand the content offerings. Inquiries from adult studios can be directed to studiopartner@mikandi.com

About MiKandi, LLC: MiKandi (pronounced “my candy”) is the leading app market for adults.

A Year in the life of Adult Apps – INFOGRAPHIC

February 13, 2012 by 19 Comments

People often ask us for stats and to talk about how we’re doing as a company and as a 3rd party app market on Android. We’re pretty happy to share basic stats with folks and are proud to say that we’re growing really well and that being a 3rd party app market is a real possibility.

Despite spending NO money on marketing and having NO distribution through the other Android App Markets (hey Amazon, we’d be happy to offer your app store to our customers if you offer ours to your customers ;-) ), we are seeing new users each and every day. Well over a million folks have used our app market for adults and while that might pale in comparison to other popular stores, we’re pretty excited about the fact that over 200,000 people use us each month and download an average of over 5 apps per person. We’re just getting started, but it’s a pretty great start.

We’ve learned a lot in the past year and we’re continuing to improve our value to our customers on a daily basis, due in large part to our large and active developer community. Without the thousands of developers publishing their hot apps every month, we wouldn’t be what we are and we’re very grateful to them all for their support and dedication. We are happy to pay an ever-increasing number of developers each month – they are proving that consumers pay for adult entertainment willingly, when the offer and delivery mechanisms are right.

As we start developing against our roadmap for 2012, we thought we’d share some of our most interesting data more broadly. As we said, we think it paints a bright future for 3rd party app markets in the Android universe. There’s a lot of potential out there for focused teams!

One funny coincidence: DC ranked highest in the entire year for greatest number of searches and requests for “deep throat” related apps.   Perhaps they are still looking for the true secret informant in the watergate scandal?
