I think the unfortunate truth is that everyone who has a big app store will continue to tout that because they're trying to grow their marketplace. "Our market is thriving, come join us!" is the message.
But with the exception of game churn, I think most people find core apps they want and stick to those. Probably the only other market as active as games is productivity apps, where people just love to churn.

- aristidb 14y agoFortunately number of apps in the mobile space is still pretty well correlated with number of important apps, so the marketing is not fully uninformative.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoIsn't that a loaded message anyway? More apps means more likelihood that your idea's been implemented or has benefited from some sort of first mover's advantage. Eventually, discoverability will cause problems that probably makes the market look saturated when it isn't.
- KirinDave 14y agoThis is a good problem for consumers to have, though. And actually for vendors. It's a lot easier to carve a niche in a big and competitive marketplace than try help bootstraping a marketplace you don't control.
- Cataclysmic 14y agoLol reminds me of Google Plus - always talking about how many users they have but it's a ghost town.
- KirinDave 14y agoGoogle Plus is the only place I can go to get intelligent conversation with people. You know, the kind that does not begin sentences with, "Lol."
