App Store Customer Satisfaction

Adam Somer — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:08:31 +0000

From Nielsen:

iPhone users have installed an average of 37 applications on their devices – more than the users on any other smartphone platform – while Blackberry users only use 10 apps on their phones. Android users have around 22 apps on their phones, followed by Palm users (14) and Windows Mobile users (13).

Only 12% of cell phone users with feature phones downloaded an app in the last 30 days. In contrast to this, about 46% of smartphone owners installed an app in the last month.

Apple’s App Store is the most used mobile app store and has captured 25% of the market, followed by Blackberry’s App World Store (16%). Carrier stores run by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon are also still very popular and have a market share between 8% (T-Mobile) and 15% (Verizon). The Android Market only had about a 2% market share by the end of 2009, but given the small number of devices on the market at that time, this number will surely grow in 2010 as more device manufactures add Android devices to their lineup.

84% of Apple’s users are satisfied with the user experience in the iTunes store and 81% of Android users are happy about their experience. The Windows Marketplace ranked the lowest (56%), followed by the Blackberry App World store (58%).
