During January-June, app downloads from the Google Play Store crossed the 4,200 billion milestones for the first time. At the same time, 1,460 crore apps have been downloaded from the App Store. Although the app download is a few times behind the Google Play Store, the App Store is far ahead in terms of revenue. This has been due to the behaviour of users of the two platforms using the app. Apple’s premium device users tend to use paid apps more. On the other hand, the device users of the Android platform tend to use free apps. That’s why Apple’s App Store is ahead in revenue even though it lags behind in downloads.
According to a report by Sensor Tower, spending on gaming apps is on the rise. During January-June, the cost of gaming apps alone reached 2.96 billion on both platforms. Smartphone users are spending large sums of money on games like Honor of King, Candy Crash, and Pubji.
