The Green Robot: Guide to Creating and Selling Android Apps on Google Play

If you don’t use apps either free or paid, which is very unlikely, you’ll know plenty of people who do. These days, not having a smartphone means that you have what my friends comically call ‘a brick’ or a ‘dinosaur’. You see, we all have to roll with the times; staying connected and using the tools available that make your daily tasks more interesting,easier and quicker – that’s where apps come in and why they’re so popular. Some people I know confess to downloading or using up to 50 apps a day. They’re properly addicted. And so is most of the planet… let’s look at the statistics and remind ourselves of the android app market as it stands today: A recent study that was carried out by eMarketer revealed that more than 73-million people in the US alone are currently using smartphones. Taking into consideration babies and our elderly may not comprise this figure – that’s a lot of people. And out of these people, Harris Interactive and Ask.com found during a poll that about 70% of these smartphone users have downloaded and used at least one app. And this is just one country. Smartphone apps have been downloaded nearly 11 billion times, and this is expected to rise over the next few years, so you can see why it’s such a money-making opportunity that you can tap into. Of course, you may ask ‘Why Android?’ and not say, apple apps or some other software… after all, is that not where the real money is?
