Ever wonder which apps drive the UK mobile market? GSMA and comScore have revealed that nearly 8.8 million UK mobile owners used an app that connected to the Internet during April 2011. Google Maps took top honors with 6.4 million unique visitors while Yahoo! Weather finished second with 3.6 million.
Surprisingly the world’s most popular social networking site, Facebook, finished third with 3.5 million unique visitors. Google Mobile and YouTube rounded out the top five with 2.6 million and 2.4 million respectively.
Now for the shocker. The 8.8 million UK connection app users consisted of 65 percent iOS, 31 percent Android, 1 percent Symbian and 3 percent other. It appears Android does not dominate all facets of mobile — at least in this survey.
Since February of last year, the application key measurement report has been tracking and ranking the most popular connected applications in the UK. Each month a report provides Internet behaviors and detailed analysis of access methods.
