Ask HN: Sales stats for Android paid apps?
Were any concrete sales figures ever disclosed by any Android developer? This kind of info is easy to find for iPhone (albeit mostly the freaky successes) but it seems very tough to find any commercial data from the Android Market.
- zitterbewegung 17y agoAt an open source confrence I was at (flourish) they had an android developer which developed games. The sales were considerably lower for android apps I believe it was 10% of the sales compared to iPhone apps.
- mirwox 17y agoThat's what I was afraid of. It seems like Android is still something for the (hopefully near) future. Let's hope Google gives it a boost somehow, don't know if they're hoping more devices hit the market. It would be very nice for developers to have an alternative to the Apple App Store.
- mirwox 17y agoThere's a mention here that a Larva Labs app stayed at number one for a while and is now number 2 : http://www.flourishconf.com/flourish2009/?q=node/36#hall http://www.flourishconf.com/flourish2009/?q=node/36#hall If they disclosed concrete numbers, maybe we could size the Android App Market.
