Report: AppStore there are 1.14 million “zombie software” accounted for more than 83%
Apple’s mobile app store AppStore, creating a new business model for mobile Internet, software shops already have more than baiwankuan apps so far. Recently, however, a third party report notes that Apple’s app store, 80% belongs to the “zombie software”, lack of interest, users actually materialize.
AppStore Apple has become an important profit-making from the iOS eco-business. Not long ago, Apple released data that, in 2014, the iOS software developers around the world divided into income obtained from Apple, has been as high as $ 10 billion.
Some media pointed out that the $ 10 billion in revenue, has one year equivalent of Hollywood’s box office revenue. This shows that mobile Internet “APP economy” of the powerful.
But for those who want to develop software for Denver’s young talent in the iOS eco-system, you now need to think twice.
Recently a third party institution “Adjust.com” analysis of the software in Apple’s app store and found that internal is full of a lot of zombie software, which basically had no real user.
How to define a “zombie software?” above argues, if a software one-third of the time appear in the AppStore’s top 300 rankings, is not part of the “zombie software.” in other words, the zombie software was not without user’s software, but users are very limited, which belongs to the long silence.
In 2014, the size of Apple’s app store, up from 890,000 software increased to 1.42 million, an increase of 60%. The Agency stated that, percentage of zombie software in the AppStore, has increased from 74% to 83%.
Foreign science and technology media commented, it is clear that zombie software is in charge of Apple’s AppStore, for new entrants to Apple’s iOS eco-software developer, wants to strike gold in the AppStore, as hard as on the blue sky. There are also doubts about Apple software how to cope with so many zombies.
The Agency believes, if you fail to appear in the rankings, which means some software users and significantly less likely to download, users need to search, find a piece of software, and known to be the Apple AppStore’s search feature is also very bad.
Media said the searches due to Apple’s app store is too much trouble, so the best way to search for iOS software, is open a browser and enter the Google (Twitter) search.
The Agency said that in 2014, zombie software in Apple’s app store has doubled, from 660,000 to around 1.14 million.
The Agency also found that different types of iOS software, competition of botnet software, is different. Such as “commercial software” type, has been dominated by a few successful software, new developers access to opportunities. They can choose from less drastic “efficiency” and “financial services” areas such as development of iOS software.
In addition in the “navigation” and “sport” type of software, zombie software is relatively low, because that way they related to a local location, excellent software cannot be a winner, provides living space for local developers.
In fact, Apple AppStore or Google Play a lot zombie software, this is not news. As early as 2012, on the mobile Internet market research company found that 700,000 app in the AppStore, there are nearly 400,000 belong to the zombie software, accounting for nearly 60%, downloads, and user comments are few.
