In the fierce battle for the number one streaming mobile video, Meerkat is the first to reach the operating system more popular in the world.
Meerkat, the popular service that allows users to streams live for his followers, he is now on Android, ahead Periscope -. its main competitor, which is owned by Twitter
Meerkat deposited its app in the Google Play Store on April 30. The free app works with Android 4.2 and higher and is currently in beta, so surely change a bit on what the typical problems of the beta versions are corrected. Meerkat has not said when it will update the app, but has already begun to succeed, achieving between 100,000 and 500,000 downloads as the spot Google Play, which uses a very wide range.
Meerkat and Periscope are linked in a fierce battle to be the first choice of live streaming for consumers. Arriving in Android first, Meerkat could seduce the millions of users of the popular platform of Google, the largest in the world.
In the month Periscope has been available has been very popular, according to Twitter. The company said this week during its financial report the live streaming service had achieved a million users in its first 10 availability. We do not know how it could have affected that to Meerkat, but certainly stole the advantage he had for a while.
Our expert Jason Parker compared the two services in March (in versions iOS) and concluded that ” at this time, Periscope has a clear advantage that makes the streaming live video much more accessible. “
Parker said that” while Meerkat revolution began, Periscope is ready to take the lead, with more features, more ways to connect, and the power of Twitter back. “
Still, Meerkat keeps pushing to be the first to reach Android. But with just 2.5 stars out of 5 in 1,300 comments Meerkat beta users in Google Play, Periscope could easily steal that advantage.
