More than half of the apps are inactive?
Today I have read an article said “Very few iPhone applications have a large user base. The vast majority has almost no real user base to speak of.”
Acorrding to this, there are only 19% of applicationgs in App Store have more than 10,000 users, and 54% of applications have less than 1,000 users.
The statistics were reported in AdMob’s May 2009 Mobile Metrics Report, if you want the full report please check here.
I was shock when I read it, it means more than half of the apps are inactive, and most people do not buy apps from App Store, what’s wrong about it? May be it’s time for Apple to think about it’s mode of commercial operation on apps, it’s high cost on iPhone SDK using and low pay back perhaps will force designers go away, and the lack of efficiency of App Store also caused users can not find what they really want. These two factors are negative to sales, and might drive people change their way to JailBreak.
This is an alarming.
