Great time to get into apps as everyone is so focused on Blockchain. By the time that bubble implodes, investors will want a brand new, fresh, ready-to-be-invested in app to throw their money at.

Ths article and it's predecessor note the relative puny Android market and rewards (though not nearly as thorough comparison of the recent trajectories of the two ecosystems) - what is it going to take for Android to turn around?

  I think Google is addressing this with Progressive Web Apps. There's a lot of work yet to be done, but web sites that implement native features such as home screen presence, notifications and (key to making money) integration with Android Pay have a lot of potential. The problem is that it doesn't compare exactly with the iOS model, so everyone assumes it is worse. But completely removing app download friction from the process could be huge.

    That is what Android Instant Apps are for.

      They are, but I can't remember the last time I saw one in the wild. To my (not necessarily well informed!) view, PWAs have a lot more traction.

Or you could just focus on making money, rather than endlessly chasing rounds of investor money. Investment shouldn't be an end goal.
