According to the previously conducted on www.distimo.com According to the study, updates in the top Apple App Store for iPhone appear much more often than in the Google Android Market.
In April, 94 different apps occupied the top ten positions in the top Apple App Store for iPhone in the States, while only 26 apps in the Google Android Market were in the top 10.
The appearance in the tops is very important for increasing the number of downloads, and the difference in Apple and Google updates is primarily due to the fact that the application tops are not localized and do not show new content with a high rating. Now that’s going to change, according to Eric Chu, Android Developer Ecosystem.
Google is creating a completely new Android Market, the most important characteristics of which are:
- Localized application tops
- Additional Tops – Top Paid, Top Free, Top Grossing, Top New Paid, Top New Free and Trends
- Shorter CTP (click-to-purchase)
- Adding categories “Books” and “Movies”
