Smartphone users are drowning in “app overload”

Abandonment rates for smartphone apps are surging because there is just too much choice.

Probably no apps on the app store to be an overload problem

Uninstall when you notice the app is redundant.

This article is not about Anroid vs Apple:

Data from Statista.com earlier this year said that Android users have access to 2.2 million apps while Apple’s App Store users have 2 million available apps.

It is about people becoming so lazy that they cannot even choose the app they want to open:

“It’s just too much. So, apps have sort of, because of the fragmentation … confused people,” he said.
“Instead of finding the app to pay my telecom bill, I would just like to talk to my phone and say: ‘It’s time to pay my telephone bill’ and let the phone figure out what the best app is,” said Willis.
Already, technologies such as Apple’s Siri, Google’s recently launched smart messaging app Allo, and Amazon Echo enable “the idea of just being able to talk to a device and let it figure out”, said Willis.
“In other words, if I tell my device, order me a pizza, it knows what type of pizza I like and which vendor I like,” he explained.

Very sad actually.
