Too many Apps, please to develop what i need not what i want


It seems, all phone brands do the same thing, to give the users what they want, but not what they need. We can see a funny discipline, when Samsung make the Galaxy phone ,they became bigger and bigger; Apple made the iPhone longer than before; now time for Nokia, they made their phone harder than before, which we can use to crack nuts. 

App Store and Android Market, there are more than 1 million apps in the two apps center, all IOS users and Android users can download to their devices. So many apps there, we could not even use all over of them. And in the end we found the apps are nearly the same one with different UI, when Fruit Ninja, Angry bird, temple run,etc games come out, not a moment thousands of fake games comes out. I don't know why, some of the developer can not catch the point, to give the user what they need, not what they want.

Total 59 applications on my iPhone, only 16 apps i used very often on my iPhone, such as Google Maps, Messages, Gmail, Twitter and Instagram. 


This seems to correlate with a larger study by Nielsen, which found that the average number of applications per smartphone was rising, but that the amount of time people spent using apps had not changed much. The most heavily used apps were Facebook, YouTube, the Android Market, Google Search and Gmail.

Onavo, a company that helps people monitor their data use, estimates that only about 1,000 applications have at least 50,000 users in the United States. The rest remain far from the mainstream.

For the typical app, less than half the people who download it use it more than once, said Guy Rosen, the chief executive of Onavo. Do you suffer from app overload? How many apps do you have in your phone, and how many of those do you actually use? Do you find yourself shutting yourself off to new apps because you simply can’t handle any more?
