The top words in Android app titles
The most frequently occurring words in iOS app titles were published in a report by AppsFire yesterday. As Android app discovery is at the core of what we do at AppBrain, we decided to compile a list of top title words for Android apps and compare that list to the one from iOS.
The most frequent words in Android app titles are:*
- 26900: wallpaper
- 23761: live
- 16283: free
- 9436: theme
- 8291: lite
- 7896: pro
- 5692: app
- 5500: mobile
- 4718: news
- 4355: lwp
- 4179: sms
- 4135: widget
- 3945: game
- 3864: guide
- 3622: calculator
- 3601: clock
- 3369: 2012
- 2919: radio
- 2720: android
- 2661: bestpuzzle
- 2597: quiz
- 2593: launcher
- 2549: love
- 2377: puzzle
- 2322: english
Words that occur in the top list of both operating systems are marked in bold and can be regarded as “generic” words for mobile app titles. More interestingly, many of the top words that are unique to Android really point to features specific to the Android platform: live wallpapers (also abbreviated as lwp), easy theming, desktop widgets and a customizable clock and launcher.
We provide more statistics about the Google Play market on a continuous basis on the AppBrain stats pages.
Happy weekend,
