Cross-platform app store GetJar, home to more than 150,000 apps for more than 2,500 devices, has clocked up its 2 billionth download. Facebook is the most downloaded app, with over 100m downloads.
“We credit our growth in downloads to our open approach to the app marketplace,” says GetJar Founder & CEO, Ilja Laurs. “Giving developers for all platforms a free space to distribute their applications has proven popular to both developers and consumers. GetJar’s social aspects and free business model have been key to our growth, but even more growth is predicted. As we’ve seen Android interest increase, we’ve also seen interest in GetJar increase. With Android exclusives such as Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, GetJar has become an even bigger player in a field of giants, and a destination for free Android apps.”
