I don't see anywhere in the original flurry report, what is the number of ios and Android apps using their service. Shouldn't this relevant information be clear somewhere? What if there are just more.people who chose to use flurry for ios? I'm an Android dev and haven't even heard of them before.
- uwemaurer 14y agoFlurry is very popular also on Android. About 6.5% of all apps, and 28% of the top 500 Android apps use it. See here for more details: http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/dev http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/dev
- vibrunazo 14y agoBut how exactly does that compare to their ios popularity? Without knowing that, we are comparing apples to oranges.
- uwemaurer 14y agoYes. The AppBrain report is for Android only, however it shows that Flurry is widely used in Android apps.
- mtgx 14y agoI'm not sure I'd consider 6.5% "widely used". How many use Google Analytics?
- uwemaurer 14y agoGoogle Analytics is in 6.9% of Android apps. For an Android library this means it is quite widely used, since there are only two more popular libraries. (Admob SDK (34%) and the Facebook SDK (7.5%))
- mtgx 14y agoAnd what about iOS? If iOS is 13%, wouldn't that explain the 2:1 ratio? Even if we're talking "growth", the growth for Flurry's own business could be higher on iOS, maybe because they did more marketing on iOS, or more word of mouth between iOS devs - who knows.
- myko 14y agoAt my work we use Flurry on iOS and Google Analytics on Android. I'm not sure how common this scenario is but it seems likely to me that Flurry is just less popular on Android relative to iOS.
