The Google Play Store was the leading app store among the four major ones in terms of number of downloads in this year’s first quarter, according to Canalys’ App Interrogator research. The research takes into account data for the four major application stores – Google Play Store (which should be getting some look changes soon), Apple App Store, Windows Phone Store, and BlackBerry World.
Downloads from the Google Play Store accounted for 51 percent of the total number of 13.4 billion in this year’s first quarter, with the ones from Apple’s App Store closely following. The total number of app downloads has grown by 11 percent in the four stores combined (as compared to the previous quarter). This shouldn’t be a surprise, since Android has a commanding leadership in terms of market share, even if its growth is leveling in the U.S. at the moment.
On the financial front, Apple’s App Store is the clear leader, with a 74 percent share of revenue out of a total of $2.2 billion, in a quarter that has marked a 9 percent growth of the direct revenue (which includes paid apps, subscriptions, as well as in-app purchases).
Do you generally buy apps or do you prefer to use free ones?
