Mobile Apps-Phone Apps

Mobile apps-phone apps

Mobile Apps-Phone Apps are getting more important for businesses because more people are spending more time searching for information on their phone. This is especially true during the day when people are working and commuting to work. They are more likely to stop at a restaurant and use some other service on their way home if this service is present in the mobile app universe.

Mobile represents about 65% of digital media time pushing desktop/laptop use to become secondary source. Below you can examine the relationship of the market share for mobile vs desktop devices which indicates favor towards mobile use and it would be safe to say that this trend will increase over time. Android apps are being more developed a fraction more than apple apps for a simple reason that more people have access to android devices which on average cost less than half compared to apple counterpart. More insights on the competition between Google and Apple you can get from this 2016 Internet Trends report.

Android Apps

Android apps are accessible on Google App Store which has over one million apps available. Number of downloads from Google App Store is significantly larger than that from Apple App Store but it also has lot more free apps than Apple App Store. The same count advantage applies to the user base where Android market has the upper hand.

Apps for iPhone

Apple App Store also has over a million available apps for download and the number of downloads is less than that from Android App Store but the revenue from purchased apps is larger because more apps for iPhone are paid apps and often time more expensive than paid apps in Android’s Play Store.
