It started exploding years back when Apple lunched its App store, since then mobile applications become the popular way to communicate shop, organize, and play among the populace.
India has a different app development trend compared to the western world. In west, Apple apps rule the market, whereas in India Android is engulfing the major market share. Due to expensive price tag of Apple products, it has fewer consumers in India. Moreover, most of the good apps in Apple’s app store are paid which also repel consumer from buying Apple products in India. Comparatively, Andriod phones are cheaper and most of the apps are free for download. So, Android is a big hit in India.
