iOS apps 3x more likely to crash than Android apps

Mobile app monitoring outfit Crittercism claims that iOS applications crash considerably more often than Android applications.

Apple’s iOS 5.01 alone accounted for 28.64 per cent of all application crashes across all iOS and Android mobile devices, asreported by Forbesin a ‘Data dive’ into the Crittercism results.

Even normalising for the number of reporting crashes, iOS crashed over three times more often with the ‘top quartile’ of iOS crashing 0.51% of the time, compared with 0.15% for Android.
