Android and iOS are the two major
mobile platforms in today’s market. Android phone users download apps through
play store whereas iPhone users make use App Store (iTunes). Users can easily
download apps using these play store feature without having to browse other
websites. There is no point of effecting your phone with viruses. Users can
easily update app using this feature. Both Google Play and iTunes provide apps,
books, TV series, music and movies.
The comparison between stores can
be made depending upon number of available apps and total number of downloads.
Following are the ways which shows Google Play Store is better than the App
Store.
Developer-friendly: Google Play Store is more developer friendly
when compared to App Store, because of its large open-source development
community, and easily available development tools. Only a few iPhone apps will
be selected and allowed on the iTunes because the filters of App Store are too
strict. Users can easily find variety of creative and interesting apps in
Google Play Store. It contains some powerful theme launchers that can
completely change the look of Android, which you cannot find on the App Store.
Visibility: A user looking for a particular app would be able to find
it quicker on Google Play Store as compared to iTunes. This is because, Google
Play Store uses Google Search to analyse the query and text present in app’s
description page to display search results using rankings algorithms. And
because an app on Google Play Store is automatically linked to Google’s own
credible distribution system, it gets priority over App Store on Google
Searches.
Recommendations: User reviews or opinions can help one greatly, in
deciding whether to download an app or not. Reviews are front-and-center in
Google Play Store as compared to App Store. You can easily find ratings and
commentary given by the users on Google Play Store, whereas in App Store
recommends users to download apps based on apps merits, and doesn’t entertain
user reviews.
Affordability: Even though there are lots of apps that provide
similar functionality and quality, users
are more likely to go with apps that are free. One of the positives about
Google Play Store is that it houses apps that are either free or way cheaper
compared to those on App Store. iOS developers charge more for the apps because
there are very less number of alternatives, and App Store is quite selective
about listing apps on iTunes.
Web Interface: Providing a web interface to install apps on your
phone: just Google things! This is one of the notable features of Google Play
Store because as it allows users to install an app on phone through a web
browser on your PC. Google Play Store will give you the option to install the
app on your Android smartphone or tablet directly from web browser whereas,
iPhone users have to launch App Store on their iOS devices in order to install
an app.
Provides better and organized information: Google Play Store
provides more information when compared to App Store. Both the app markets
provide screenshots but Google Play Store also includes commercial video made
by the application developers which gives an idea about how the app works and how it can be
used. Giving users a demo of the app is vital for facilitating its downloads,
and in this case, Google Play Store hits just the right spot.
