Google Play Hits 25bn Downloads

The number of apps downloaded from Google Play has reached the 25bn milestone. 

Google announced it had hit the 20bn mark almost exactly two months ago – by our calculations, thats roughly 161m app downloads per day.

Google is running a 25-themed sale to celebrate the milestone, with apps priced at 25 cents and collections of 25 videos, books and albums.

Apples App Store hit the 25bn milestone back in March – a reminder that while there might be more Android devices out there than iPhones, it still rules when it comes to the app market. For now, at least.
