The rivalry between Google and Apple continues, and it is not for less looking at the panorama in the world of applications This has been confirmed by a company dedicated to market analysis of applications called App Annie, who demonstrates that within the App Store of Apple , the most downloaded apps in the last month are from its rival, Google Demonstrating the strength of those from Mountain View in the market for those from Cupertino A quite situation curious but it has a most logical explanation.
Specifically, according to App Annie, last month the application YouTubeand Google Maps were the most downloaded, occupying the top positions respectively. And it is necessary to remember that, from the version 6.0 of iOS, the operating system of Apple , the YouTube videos app no longer comes bundled with iPhone andiPad This meant loss of features such as viewing in full screen , or everything related to playlists, accounts and subscriptions, etc So it is not surprising that, after thelaunch of the official YouTube app for iOS, months later, it has become one of the most downloaded and desired tools.
Something similar happens with Google Maps In this case Apple decided to do without the most famous mapping tool when this company developed its own: Apple Maps However, perhaps because of hasty to publish the new version of iOS, or for attention, Apple's maps application revealed incomplete and full of visual and location bugs A situation that iOS 6 users didn't like at all , who, to make matters worse, received the message from Apple that they continue to use Google Maps in its web version Google decided to move tab and published a version of its maps tool on the App Store , making it one of the most downloaded by users of iPhone
But investigations of App Annie have yielded more data. Considering that all your results differentiate between apps and games for mobile devices, Facebookis the application number one in the download list of Google Play Followed, of course , of the world famous and media WhatsApp Followed by other communication tools such as Skype andFacebook Messenger and Instagram, the latter two also belonging to Facebook
However, it is App Store who continues to lead in terms of revenues Specifically Apple, who with their paid applications gets thetop profits, followed by NHN, creator of the messaging application LINE and the rest of applications and games that usually come with paid content Meanwhile, on Google Play the Japanese app GREE, a social gaming network, is the leader in revenue thanks to the contents of payments, also followed by NHN and its collection ofLINE applications
What is clear is that applications are still on the rise, maintaining their rising pace of downloads and income Thus, it is estimated that only having App Store, there are already two billion downloads per month
