Conclusion:

Most of the applications in the market are free, But there is (In App Purchase) and apps that support advertisement. Through my analysis of the data, the best applications category is Gaming , Social and Communication in which the developer can innovate and benefit financially through it. In the future, I can analyze the positive and negative comments of users on the applications, which can help the developer to develop there applications by solving bugs or adding features to the apps.
