Apple no longer king of the apps

Apple's App Store may have had a record-breaking start to 2015, but as appFigures reports, Google has a new superlative to brag about. For the first time, the Google Play store surpassed Apple’s online store in number of apps. Google ended 2014 with more than 1.43 million apps compared with Apple’s 1.21 million. Amazon may have been the runt of the litter, but its Appstore saw growth of about 90 percent last year, bringing its total number of apps to around 293,000. So Android users have 200,000 more apps to choose from. But Apple always has been, and always will be, where it's at, just like Man United during their horrendous 7th-place finish under David Moyes last season. And even though Louis van Gaal is turning it around, the silverware isn't quite theirs yet. They have to win several more games, starting with this weekend's match against QPR, and hope the teams above them lose or draw their next few before the Reds even have a chance at the top spot.
