Nowadays, Android applications play a major role in software industry. Therefore, having a system that can help companies predict the success probability of such applications would be useful. Thus far, numerous research works have been conducted to predict the success probability of desktop applications using a variety of machine learning techniques. However, since features of desktop programs are different from those of mobile applications, they are not applicable to mobile applications. To our knowledge, there has not been a repository or even a method to predict the success probability of Android applications so far. In this research, we introduce a repository composed of 100 successful and 100 unsuccessful apps of Android operating system in Google PlayStoreTM including 34 features per application. Then, we use the repository to a neural network and other classification algorithms to predict the success probability. Finally, we compare the proposed method with the previous approaches based on the accuracy criterion. Experimental results show that the best accuracy which we achieved is 99.99%, which obtained when we used MLP and PCA, while the best accuracy achieved by the previous work in desktop platforms was 96%. However, the time complexity of the proposed approach is higher than previous methods, since the time complexities of NPR and MLP are O$$( n^3$$ ( n 3 ) and O$$( nph^koi$$ ( n p h k o i ), respectively.
