App Store reaches 50 billion downloads


It has been just five years since Apple launched its App Store in July 2008. Since then, Apple has passed 3 major milestones, the first-10 billion download in 2011, the second- reaching  25 billion the next year and this week it reached the third milestone of having as many as 50 billion downloads.
To celebrate the achievement, Apple is offering $10, 000 worth of gift cards to the person who downloads the 50 billionth app. There will also be 50 runners-up who will receive $500 worth gift card. It took 3 years and 8 months for Apple to reach the first 25 billion mark; however, within 14.5 months, Apple was able to double the downloads. This year, the pace to download apps has grown with over 50 million apps per day.
The 50 billionth app downloaded on App Store is Say the Same Thing, acquired by an Ohio man, who received the previously announced $10,000 worth gift card. The competition with the rival Android market is tough as Play Store recently announced the 48 billion downloads. In the recent years, the pace of Play Store growth has increased that has tightened the race between the two today there is only a difference of 2 billion downloads between the two stores. The Google Play Store for Android market was launched in October 2008.
Both the app stores offer similar kinds of app categories such as health, educational, gaming and utilities app. However, Apple App Store is known for its premium quality apps that are mostly paid ones. The Google Play Store is popular for its flexible policies that make it easier for developers to publish their app.
