41% of Android applications on the Play Store is not ... - The Android Free

StarDust team dedicated to testing mobile applications to make sure they are compatible with operating systems, hardware and application stores, has been collecting data showing that the 1,200,000 revised applications for mobile operating systems, only about 500,000 are updated regularly.

This means that the majority of applications, more than 50% of them are “zombie” . In other words, developers do not bother to improve or correct errors that users may have to use them. To enter this category, applications must not have received updates and have over 10 reviews .

Strictly speaking

Android , the percentage of applications “zombie” is the 41% , data better than iOS (61%) and Windows Phone (69%) where it did exceed half of the total applications in their respective application Market.

Every day 806 iOS applications are updated, while Android are, daily, 2,341 . This may be due to two factors. First, the process to update to Android is easier for developers in this as in other operating systems. And second, an application date, appear higher in the search. Therefore, to monetize, the developer should keep you updated.

As for the comments by the application, the data tell us that on average, Android applications get 80% of your views and comments in the first 16 days of publication. In iOS 18 days and Windows Phone 13 days.

More data, on average, 2,731 applications are filed every day, 47% of them are published in Android, while 41% are published iOS and 12 percent of them in Windows Phone. E n terms of new developers in iOS are 90 new applications daily new users while appearing 75 new developers in Google Play.

the revenue of each Market, neglecting back to Windows Phone, the App Store is taking the lead in terms of revenue, with 50% of paid applications. The Play Store, login least but only has a 32% payment applications . As Android is room for improvement, in fact, although it has less income, they increase month after month faster that Apple.

But, what these data mean? First, generally speaking, many developers publish and leave the application as is in the shop application, not improve or fix bugs. This may be because the application does not have sufficient benefits or, or because they have embarked on other projects, or through neglect.

Second, the process to update an Android application is more simple and efficient on other platforms, but there are many developers that for some of the above reasons also leave.

Third, Google cut advantage over Apple in terms of benefits for the app store . While iOS still take advantage also of applications, total developers and new developers but grows faster than iOS, meanwhile, begins to stagnate.

Based on these data, most likely more and you wonder if the developers care enough applications. It is clear that a system like Android is more open than others, the community is very important and this includes developers. If these fail, possibly the entire application system collapses Smartphone. However, we must also do our part and help developers locate faults anudándoles and showing our opinion on the application, encouraging them to follow.

And you, what do you think of this data?
