Smartphone and computer tablet applications built for Apple’s iOS crash more often than those built for Google’s Android operating system, according to research conducted by Crittercism, a mobile application monitoring company, AppAdvice reported.

The Mashable publishing partner AppAdvice reported the results of the Crittercism study in graphs for readers to interpret, stating the graphics show clearly that fewer mobile applications crash under the Android operating system than under its rival iOS 5.0.1.

But this is probably not all Apple’s fault, according to AppAdvice, because this version of the company’s operating system is new enough that many application software developers have not yet found time enough to tweak their third-party apps into compatibility.Still, iOS 4.3.3 caused 10.66 percent of the mobile application crashes, though it has been available much longer, the article noted.

Android 4.0.1 accounted for only 1.04 percent of mobile app crashes in the study, appearing stable by comparison with 28.64 percent for iOS 5.0.1, and hardware issues may be partly to blame, according to Forbes, AppAdvice reported.

Users of mobile apps on both operating systems can scan the images and compare the charts with their experiences, then conclude for themselves whether Crittercism’s study brings good news or bad news — or neither.

  • Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I
    could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest
    twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like
    this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy
    reading your blog and I look forward to your new
    updates.

  • It’s truly very complex in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I simply use internet for
    that reason, and obtain the newest news.

  • When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me
    when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment
    is added I get four emails with the same comment.
    Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that
    service? Thanks a lot!

  • You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
    this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang
    of it!

  • Did you know that you have fifty bones in your foot. By participating
    in the hockey game, Steve Moore implied that he consented to be touched in a variety of violent ways.
    This is a high-risk move, so either do it right or don’t do it
    at all.

  • What’s up, its fastidious article on the topic of media print, we all understand media is a fantastic source
    of facts.

  • While it’s important to stay active, it’s
    also important to not strain your foot and ankle. Most popular sports have an aerobic aspect to them, and include basketball, lacrosse, soccer,
    and swimming. Most of these companies still provide
    sports car insurance, but may have clear restrictions
    on the policy depending on the kind of sports car you entail insured.

  • You need to be a part of a contest for one of the greatest sites online.

  • I’ve read a few just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting.
    I wonder how so much attempt you set to make this kind of magnificent informative web site.
