Fast forward a decade, and the App Store now hosts over 2 million apps, as well as powering an entire industry. The launch incentivized the market to take apps seriously, with Android’s Google Play Store and Microsoft’s Windows Phone Store following hot on the heels of Apple’s success. Collectively, these (and other third-party distributors) form the mobile ecosystem we know today.

So what else has happened in the past decade? Using our apptrace database, we’ve sifted through ten years’ worth of App Store data. The tool covers every app that was ever available in the Store, so it’s as comprehensive as it gets. From there, we looked at figures around releases, updates and rankings, allowing us to figure out which categories host the most apps overall, or which countries give the highest and poorest ratings within the Store.
