These are the most used applications in 2013
With the year 2013 over, it's time to analyze data and draw conclusions. Something that the analysis company Flurry has done, reaching the conclusion that the messaging and social applications have been the most used during the past year A higher growth than the rest of the genres that shows the moment of success that tools such as WhatsApp are experiencing , LINE, WeChat, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger and others, but also social networks like Instagramor FacebookAll of this in a generalized context of growth, where more and more applications are used.
At least that's the conclusion made public by Flurry after taking into account 400,000 applications A study reveals that the use of applications has grown by 115 percent year on year Data that messaging applications significantly exceed standing out with a 203 percent growth, being the most prominent genre over others such as games. Of course, in the study of Flurry these data include messaging and social applications, so the figure may be somewhat out of context when compared with the rest. But, without a doubt, it shows a trend that is reflected in other data such as the growing number of users of applications such as WhatsApp and Facebook
This trend could be determined by the search for privacy by the user. And it is that Facebook has made it known that, despite its growing user base, the adolescent public seems to be beginning to flee from this social network. You may be looking for the privacy and the direct communication offered by messaging tools usual as the aforementioned WhatsApp, the Japanese LINE or the Chinese WeChat Alternatives that have only grown during the past 2013. So much so that some of them present themselves as a platform in themselves, offering all kinds of tools and games around them (LINE), or as a strong support to sell smartphones and devices on your behalf (Agreement between manufacturer Xiaomi and WeChat).
But the Flurry report also offers other interesting facts. Thus, followed by messaging applications and social networks, tools and productivity applications continued with strong growth A growth figure of 149 percent places them in second position, showing the interest of users to make auseful use of your device, beyond being a mere element of entertainment or communication.
In addition, with this data it is known that, although the data for application downloads seems to be slowing down, their general use continues to grow All this in an increasingly competitive context that forces the proliferation of applications free or with format Freemium (free but with paid content), and that another study has revealed that year after year fewer will be offering income to their developersFor the moment it is clear that messaging is the star genre, although in a growing and changing market.
