(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 30, 2013 ) San Francisco, CA -- Apps have become a fundamental part of the way consumers use, personalize and engage with their smartphones and other mobile devices, according to a report from Canalys. However, Android and iOS, the two man app developers remain a stark contrast to the striving Microsoft and OEM partners such as Nokia and Blackberry to improve the Android and Apple counterparts in regards to app creations.
Of the top 50 paid and top 50 free apps on the Android Market, Apple App Store and Google Play, only 34 percent of those apps also show up on on the Windows Phone or Blackberry market. The Windows Phone store contained just 16 of the top 50 free Apple App Store apps and only 14 of the top 50 paid applications. It contained 22 of Google Plays top 50 free applications and 13 of the top 50 paid.
Blackberry had even less. Blackberry World contained only five of the top 50 free Apple apps, nine of the top 50 paid. When compared to Google Play, it had 11 of the top 50 free applications and 11 of the top paid apps.
Vendors have recently released new data figures on the size of their markets. Microsoft announced that the Windows Phone store now contains over 145,000 apps, while BlackBerry revealed that it now has in excess of 120,000 BB10 apps available. By comparison, the Apple App Store and Google Play get the bragging rights with each containing over 800,000 apps.
Right now, what is more important to Microsoft and Blackberry is to focus on bridging the inventory gaps by creating apps that attract users based on quality and location. The study found that Blackberry has started out with some great momentum, being able to release over 50,000 apps in just over three and a half months, including some big name brand apps like Skype and Angry Birds: Star Wars. Microsoft and its partners are ahead in terms of the number of apps they already offer, as well as the proportion of big brands and leading titles on its platforms.
Creating a better application store for both markets will help create better device sales, which will mean more opportunity for developers to create more high-quality apps and attract more consumer interest and satisfaction around the devices served by the ecosystem.
