People ask why an app is large on Twitter and we at Emerge break it down. It’s kind of become our bat signal.

Usually, we break down iOS apps, as iOS apps appear to be an order of magnitude larger than their Android counterparts. Almost always, someone points to Android’s size vs. iOS.

MEOW

At face value, they’re right! The size we see in the iOS App Store is almost always a multiple of the Android counterpart in the Google Play Store.

But what if I told you that Android app sizes are larger than they might immediately appear?

In this blog, we’ll explain why Android apps are larger than people think, where size comes from on both platforms, and whether iOS apps are really that much bigger than Android.

      Surely you have better things to do than be a prick, otherwise you would see that I read the article and replied to myself.

        Hmm, I wasn’t being a prick. You commented your guess in this post so I replied. I did not know you were replying to yourself. Sorry, I missed to read that!
