App Annie (via Android Authority), an app analytics firm, says that Android app s (via Google Play) increased by 60 percent from the first quarter of this year, while iOS s saw a 40 percent jump. Talking in numbers, Google Play saw over 150 million app s, while the App Store saw around 100 million app s.

Despite a dramatic increase in the number s, Google's Android apps were not able to generate more revenue than what was generated by iOS app s. It has been noted that while the iOS apps generated $100 million in revenue (increase of 45 percent from Q1), Android apps generated only $60 million (and increase of 30 percent).

The top 5 regions that contributed in the Google Play's app s were US, Brazil, India, Russia and South Korea. As compared to the App Annie's Q1 figures, India jumped from 5th to 3rd spot, while Russia and South Korea both dropped a place. Revenue-wise, Japan topped the list, followed by US, South Korea, and Taiwan.

The report also mentioned that the 'Games' section dominated in both app numbers and the revenue generated on Google Play. A Apple's App Store, iOS apps still generated a huge 85 percent more revenue than apps on the Google Play. It was also noted that a lot of the growth in the Android numbers was being led by emerging markets like Russia and Brazil.
