This should come as no surprise – games are the biggest app category for iOS, Android, and Amazon’s version of Android. This comes from Distimo data as analyzed by Statista. Interestingly, while games represent 41 percent of app downloads on both Apple’s App Store and on Google Play, the number is much higher for Amazon. On the Amazon App Store, games represent 61 percent of all downloads.
This number was not doubt influential in Amazon’s strong focus on games. Both for the Kindle Fire and the brand new Amazon FireTV. Amazon also has a significant share of education apps (unlike the other platforms), perhaps due to the their strong parental controls.
