Apple's iOS and Google's Android are two dominating Mobile OS platform. Almost 90% of the devices shipped in the world are either ios device or Android devices. You can check the data for Smartphone OS Market Share in image below. This fact tell us how these two company - Apple and Google, are controlling the mobile world. Apple's App and Google's Play Store both are tons of Apps and we almost use many of them in our day to day life. These apps behavior and flow of data are controlled by these tech giant, hence forth Apple and Google Controls How we use Mobile apps through our smartphone and tablets.
There are so many applications on app store and Google play and we are in business of mobile application development, so we know how it works. We decided to give some insight about the process.
Apple and Google both have some way to publish the Personal or Business mobile apps on their respective stores. They do some checkup before publishing to the store. Apple's App store policy is more restrictive than Google's, but both these company control the digital goods. Sometime it happen to favor their own business they like to bump a good app. For reference here is an example - a company named Tawkon which created an app that tells you when your phone is emitting high radiation so users can stay safe. This useful app was rejected by Apple. This prove Apple (and google also) want which app we should and which we can't.
The dark side is that it's either Apple or Google will tell what to develop or they will reject our app submission. This is totally unfair. Profit and maiming them is the real aim for these company while taking choice out of user's hand.

Are you in favor of open App store?
Apple control the app store for ios device and allows only those they want to be. Same is true with the Google Play store. Why can't we have a open App store like the web, where we have no filter - we can access whatever we want unlike on app store. Apple and Google Controls How we use Mobile apps, this control must end and user should have the choice what to choice and not Apple and Google decide.
