Mobile app monitoring company Crittercism has released new data which shows that during the first half of December, iOS apps crashed about twice as often as Android apps. Breaking the data down by individual release, the study found that iOS 5.0.1 was the most likely to crash, accounting for 28.64 percent of all crashes.
