Mobile App Stores Head-to-Head [Infographic]

June 18, 2013

I used to work at a video game store.

When customers were trying to decide which system to purchase, this is what I would tell them:

“Focus on the game library.”

I think the same can be said for smartphones and tablets. There are many apps that can be used on multiple devices–sometimes better and sometimes worse–but what can really separate the different OS’ are the exclusive apps. If you find that your favorite apps can only be found on a particular platform, that’s the direction you should probably go.

Take a look at how the number of apps compare from app store to app store:

Healthy Tech: Keeping a Regular Sleeping Pattern

If you use tech a lot then it can be easy to stuff up your sleep patterns, but if you attend a regular church service on Sunday mornings then keeping a regular sleeping pattern is vitally import (In my opinion it’s pretty important even if you don’t attend a Sunday morning service as having a regular waking up time is much better for you than rapid changes and regular lie ins but that’s up to you.)

Why does tech ruin your sleep pattern?

Apple’s Keynote: iOS 7 and Tons More

ChurchMag isn’t an Apple fanboy blog, but we do appreciate excellence and innovation. I think it’s a reasonably fair statement that Apple has demonstrated a great deal of that over the years.

Yesterday, Apple announced a new line of MacBook Airs, teased a new Mac Pro, and demonstrated enhanced and redesigned versions of OS X and iOS. Everything looks pretty sweet in my humble opinion. (You can watch the keynote for yourself here.)

Personally, I super excited about the new look of iOS 7. It’s a long overdue redesign, and I think that designers could learn a lot from its simplicity.

Of course, nothing is safe from criticism. Some at WWDC noted that it appeared as if Apple was taken a little inspiration from Android and webOS. It’s an even-handed criticism, but I don’t care—I’m too excited! Check out this sweetness!

Vine for Android is Here. Finally.

The app gap between Android and iOS has shrunken considerably in the last several years, but there’s nothing like some highfalutin’, high profile app that takes its sweet time coming to Android to inevitably cause the re-opening of feelings of neglect and loneliness amongst Android OS users. Remember how it felt to longingly look over the shoulder of the iPhone-wielding person sitting beside you on the train or plane and seeing Netflix? Flipboard? Instagram? They came to Android… eventually.
