unitQ, an AI-based product-quality platform enabling organizations to listen to and take action on feedback from their user base, has concluded that iPhone owners expect more from their mobile applications than do Android users, according to unitQ proprietary algorithms and artificial intelligence.

In the company’s report, “unitQ Analysis: The State of Mobile Application Product Quality,” the company parsed 121.52 million user reviews for the year 2021 to generate actionable insights into what users of those applications are saying about roughly 4,400 of the top applications on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

The report also breaks down the top mobile app product quality issues users are complaining about. In addition, the study rates the top 25 mobile apps with the highest product quality according to user feedback unitQ analyzed.

Android v iOS:

unitQ found that 22 percent of all reviews on Android expressed concerns about the quality of their applications. When it comes to the iPhone, 39 percent of all reviews contained issues about product quality.

“Studies suggest iPhone owners generally earn more than Android users and pay more for their phones than their Android counterparts. This might explain why Apple owners are more demanding of higher quality for their applications than their Android counterparts. Let’s just call it the Steve Jobs effect,” says Christian Wiklund, the unitQ CEO and co-founder.
