Tokyo — May 12, 2022 — Asteria Corporation (Japan listed, Security Code: 3853) announced today that our business negotiation support app Handbook X has reached 15,000 downloads within about two months of its launch. We also announced that Handbook X for Windows has been added to the lineup, which includes those for iOS and Android.

Asteria launched Handbook X on February 28, 2022, promoting it as a business negotiation support app which allows users to register, view and share promotional content that have been customized to make their presentation flow like a story. PDF files, photos, videos and websites such as YouTube can be accessed on the app without having to switch to other apps.
Having evaluated highly for its ease of use and affordability — the free version is also available, Handbook X has hit 15,000 downloads in just two or so months of its launch.
Due to the demand from diverse areas, mainly sales representatives and the financial industry, the number of app downloads grew at a faster rate than initially anticipated. To respond to the growing market needs, Asteria moved up the schedule for the release of a version compatible with Windows by about a month to May 12. By offering products compatible with Windows, which is the dominant operating system in Japan, we aim to further expand our sales.
Asteria aims for 100,000 downloads by the end of March 2023, contributing to support negotiations in a variety of jobs and industries.
