A new report from Distimo, a company that provides mobile app store analytics for developers, shows that revenue for the Android based Google Play store is up. In November of 2012, revenue from Google Play made up only 19 percent of combined total revenue between the Apple App Store and Google Play. However by this past April 2013 Google Play's share had increased by eight percentage points, now making up 27 percent of the combined total revenue of the two stores. Apple is still leading the market with 73 percent of the combined total revenue.
The report also delved into whether there is any truth to the conventional wisdom that app developers were finding it hard to monetize apps
