Marketers say iOS Users Prefer Health, but Android Users Like Fitness

June 19, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

Let’s say you’re an app developer, and you’re trying to decide whether to position your product as a health app or a fitness app. A marketing study indicates that it depends whether you’re building for iOS or Android.

From Marketing Daily:

After evaluating 500 million monthly ad impressions on more than 400 of its mobile ad platforms and apps, Opera Mediaworks says iPhone users are more interested in health (62% vs. 58% for fitness), while Android users are more interested in fitness (39% vs. 30%). Overall, incidentally, most health and fitness users are more likely to have an iPhone than an Android device. 

So this is sort of maddeningly indecisive. On a percentage basis, Android users prefer “fitness” apps, and iPhone users prefer “health” apps. But people who are interested in the subject at all tend to be iPhone users.

Oh — and women tend to multitask while exercising much more than men. Just saying.
