Google has finally started to beat Apple in one key mobile category. The Google Play Store had 10% more downloads than the App Store in Q2 2013. Apple still has 2.3 times more revenue from their App Store, but Google has at least managed to catch up to Apple in the number of apps available.
The graphic above, from App Annie shows the trend.
Google has done a lot of work in cleaning up the App Store. They actually removed thousands of low quality or malicious apps from the store earlier this year. They have also implemented stricter developer policies in an effort to bring more consistency to the apps in the Play Store.
