Mobile application performance management platform Crittercism has released research showcasing the latest app performance trends.

Crittercism reveals that Android has a 1.76% crash rate, compared to iOS with a 1.98% crash rate. In terms of specific models, Crittercism found that iOS 5.0.1 was the most friendly Apple OS, with 4.1 Jelly Bean being the best performing Droid system.

On the flip side, iOS 4.1 and 2.3.1 Gingerbread were the most crash-happy – perhaps understandable, given the OS’ respective ages.

The research also found that Samsung was the top performing Android manufacturer, and that tablets were the second-most frequent cause of OS crashing, behind carrier- or region-specific devices.
