Apple’s App Store has seen a lot of growth due to, mostly, gaming apps that are stealing the show on the app store. The number of apps on the app store is targeted to increase to over 5M different apps at the year 2020. The number of small apps that are made, due to people’s demand of games, has bolstered that number up.
Key Takeaways:
- Since its creation in 2008, the Apple App Store has grown exponentially, from 5,000 apps to over 2,000,000 today, and that number is projected to reach 5,000,000 by the year 2020.
- “There’s something for everyone: dating…, weather…, and even an app to help prevent shark attacks” but with all these apps, users sometimes have difficulty finding the right one for their needs.
- Even though there are millions of apps available, on average people download just 1.5 apps per month and really only use the same few apps each day.
“Despite the addition of all these new apps, users still only use a few applications regularly. Based on Sensor Tower’s analysis, users download 1.5 applications on average per month.”
