iOS vs. Android

According to a new investigation of the Crittercism, Apple's mobile operating system iOS crashes more often than Android. The investigation showed that most apps crashed under iOS 5.0.1 (Apple), followed by iOS 4.2.1 (Android).The research divided the apps into three quartiles. The 'best', most stable, apps are in the first quartile. For those applications crashed 0.51 percent of iOS apps at startup. When Android was only 0.15 percent. In the second and third quartile Apple's system crashed under 1.47 and 3.66 percent, while in Android apps 0.73 and 2.97 percent. The study was conducted in December 2011, when iOS 5.0. was a few weeks offline. The fact that most of the apps among those update crashed, was there to be due, Apple said.
