More and more companies are hiring experienced iOS developers who can develop a high-quality app for the App Store. However, for this purpose, they only choose the cream of the crop. One of the reasons why companies prefer App Store over Play Store is because users of the iPhone are far more likely to spend money on apps than users of Android devices. This is surprising because Android apps have a much larger market share. 

Now let’s take a look at the features that make Apple’s App Store far superior to Google Play Store:

Game and App Lists

There are various lists available all over the internet that recommend games and apps to users. The same is true for the Play Store and the App Store, which feature many lists for users. However, we can see a huge difference in the lists available in the two app stores. When one opens the Play Store, a large portion of the screen is filled with paid advertisements and the rest of the screen is full of games and apps that are recommended to the user. This is not the case with the App Store, the lists available here have been carefully crafted by an editorial team. 

Interviews, Deep Dives, and Guides

One of the great features of Apple’s App Store is its today tab is full of deep dives, interviews, how-tos, tips, and many other stories. A user can find around 20 pieces of unique content to read each day. This makes the entire experience more personalized, completely different from Google’s promotion-first approach. 

Game/App of The Day

The App Store is much better than the Play Store when it comes to helping users find new and exciting applications. The editors of the App Store handpick an app or a game every day, and they also feature an in-depth explanation of the app. The Play Store, on the other hand, is stuffed with apps and games, with tens of thousands of new ones being added every day. It is extremely hard to navigate through the deluge of new apps. 

Exclusivity

Apple is all about exclusivity, so it is very difficult for developers to bring a new app to the App Store. Apple has strict guidelines which must be followed, and on top of that, there is a hefty yearly fee that has to be paid. When it comes to Android, one only has to pay a one-time $25 fee. This is one of the biggest reasons why games and apps present in Apple’s App Store are of a higher standard. There are serious problems in Google Play Store, such as low-quality apps and copied titles. All this makes the App Store a much better platform than the Play Store.
