Fart apps

BB world: 43 fart related apps
BB apps: ~100,000

App store: 903 fart relatd apps
iOS apps: ~800,000 apps

So, BB has 0.043% fart apps in their app catalogue

Apple has 0.11% fart apps or 2.5X or 250% more fart apps than BB


From this I conclude there is a lot more crap in the app store than BB world, both as a percentage and in total. Anyone have the numbers for google play or windows?

You gotta think, if 903 fart apps get into the app store, what and how much crap is in there?

I think we'll see that there its only a handfull of actually somewhat revelant apps that are actually important and only in NA (US>CAN, ie. netflix, hulu, pandora, spotify, instagram, whatever random 'app' the people who can't live without apps complaint about. Just looking at availability of these services and usage). Releasing in the US a month later might prove to be very telling of the actual importance of these apps on our mobile devices.

Thanks for those numbers. In response to some claims in another thread here yesterday, I tried to look up the numbers.

But from a regular web browser, I couldn't find a way to search on a text string in the Apple store.

On Google Play, when I searched on "Fart" it claimed ">1,000 results". But it only seemed to display anywhere between 200 to 500 depending on whether I did the lookup from a desktop browser or my Android tablet.

I have a feeling the actual number is at least 2x higher.

I've seen it claimed that the Apple App store has over 2,000 flashlight apps too.

Oh another interesting statistic: 60% of Google Play apps have never been downloaded a single time.

I thought the fart app ratio was a sign of success. Maybe that's why Cramer is now high on BB.

[TejasBH]

I'm okay with the Fart apps count but I don't like the Magazines in Apple store which are put forward as individual apps..

From a consumer pov, it's good to see options when searching for an app..

[DatMisterB]

Interesting ... Google Play should be even more as it's literally open.

[Omnitech]

...I don't like the Magazines in Apple store which are put forward as individual apps..

I think all the popular mobile app stores do the same thing, including Blackberry.

This article claims 66% of all apple apps are never downloaded even once.

Wonder what that is in BlackBerry world?

[Omnitech]

There are "app developers" that take an RSS reader app, create various versions which are simply the same app individually tied into various different website's RSS feeds, and then charge a separate fee for each "app".

[ibpluto]

IMO, apps that have never been or not downloaded after a certian time should be removed from an app store. This may incetivise developers to update and redeploy their apps to be better, and have a potential to be downloaded.

Too many apps just muddies the waters

After all the corned beef and cabbage I've ate the last few days days I make at least 10 fart apps of my own. Well not really an app but recordings

love it. I always did figure if I wanted a fart noise why not just record my own and use playback? Not that I really do that, or do I?

[jesse_h]

You're right, we need more fart apps.

do apple users think these are real life apps?

[hurds]

I will only download a fart app if its done natively on BB10 in cascades!!

That native experience is a must. lol.

So app store has 903 fart apps, 1200 flashlight apps, 1800 solitaire apps is just ridiculous. No wonder its so big. Its gotta be mostly a ghost town and Omnitechs findings point to that.

[Pete The Penguin]

Who will ever download 100k apps?
I only need Blaq on BB10, and I'm happy.

Good Job.... Of course you're inviting the following

Hulu
BB world: 0 apps
BB apps: ~100,000
App store: 1 apps
iOS apps: ~800,000 apps

Flipboard
BB world: 0 apps
BB apps: ~100,000
App store: 1 apps
iOS apps: ~800,000 apps

Instagram
BB world: 0 apps
BB apps: ~100,000
App store: 1 apps
iOS apps: ~800,000 apps

From this I conclude there are a lot less wanted/useful apps in BB world, both as a percentage and in total. Anyone have the numbers for google play or windows?

Still, trolling over Fart apps does seem to be popular.

I tried a Fart app once, It stunk!

You would come in and rain on the fart app parade. Can't anyone just have a little fun

Ahhh... I don't really give a s**t...

I'm not aware BlackBerry world has magazines..

Farts are fun, 'nough said.

I guess Farts are big business.. There are already 42 available in BlackBerry World and thats just for a Z10 on Rogers in Canada....

[hurds]

I've decided I'm going to switch platforms to whatever has the most fart apps. Also I can't find my favourite fart app on BB so it just isn't more me.

one of the most useless stats. it should be consider trolling and waste of board space if anyone still using the fart app argument. at least come up with something more original.

let me know the stats for wanted app that's missing on BB. let me know when there is a unique app for BB that other OS want. i think those stats would be more important.
