The number of available applications is today one of the factors that are used to talk about the success of the mobile operating system. Android and iOS does not have this problem – Google Play will find more than a million applications in the App Store – close to a million. The importance of these numbers are trying to diminish Microsoft and BlackBerry , stressing that quality counts application, not the quantity. Of course, both Windows Phone Store and BlackBerry World grow and the first will find more than 170,000, and in the second over 120,000 applications .
The only problem was that – at least in the case of BlackBerry – we can not speak of either quantity or quality . More than 47,000 applications in BlackBerry World is the work of a single developer, registered in Hong Kong’s S4BB . As noted by the BerryReview service, 20-30 common applications of this developer actually carries any value, but the overwhelming majority of the guides (for example, Gdynia), or audiobooks that are separate applications.

do not know the exact statistics on the purchase of such applications (each is paid), but we can guess that some have already earned at each other. BlackBerry reward for application developers. The early release of the application, the quality of which meets the requirements of the BlackBerry, you can even grab the $ 10,000 .

strategy developer in Hong Kong relied so, apparently, the BlackBerry World pouring tens of thousands of applications and counting on their acceptance by the moderators. As you can see, you have a very mild criteria – Canadians apparently very much wanted to increase the number of applications, without attach greater importance to their quality.
BlackBerry whole thing describes as “beauties of the free market” , indicating that smartphone users are free to decide whether an application merits attention, on the contrary. Company spokesman emphasizes again that the developers may have a problem with the stroke of the crowded stores, and BlackBerry still allows highlighting high-quality applications, even if they come from a completely unknown artists.
company that actively seeking strategic alternatives (read more) , a mess in the store is not the best solution. The more that developers complain that the time required to accept applications released for BlackBerry World is extremely long. Is testing 47,000 applications from one vendor may be the cause of this stagnation
