BE 'APPY!

​Following the news in the Telegraph this week that the Apple App Store makes twice the money Google's Play Store does, despite most of the world using Android.  I wanted to look at the current app market in the UK and draw up a list of the bestsellers of the last 12 months.

A study from IT company Compuware, Mobile Apps: What Consumers Really Need and Want: A Global Study of Consumers’ Expectations and Experiences of Mobile Applications, made a critical finding: 84% of mobile device users say app store ratings are important in their decisions to download and install a mobile app.
It looks like apps are here to stay due to many factors that appeal to all who use them.  They provide:

• Accessibility is a key factor that appeals to the user.
• Apps are simple and efficient in design and function.
• They are immediate.  For example banking, shopping and travel.
• Mobile devices will remain relevant, and technology will continue to develop apps.
