Crittercism has performed testing on mobile platforms, and found that while Apple's release of iOS 7 is the most stable iOS release to date, reducing the crash rate to 1.7%, this still pales compared to Android versions 4.0+, which have a crash rate of only 0.7%.

Not surprisingly, gaming apps with complex graphics and sound crashed more often (4.4%) than other apps, with eCommerce apps getting the best rating of only 0.6%. Some pre-digested coverage from gantdaily.com can save having to dig through pages of research data slides, if you're not looking for the gritty details.

Is this consistent with your experience, or does your particular usage tell a different story?

    I had instability with Samsung's android variant on my S4, so I put on Cyanogenmod which is closer to stock Android. It's more stable but the battery life suffers due to a lack of drivers I think. But stock Android is very stable. However is it more secure? No. Is it a better phone than my Nokia S40 series tough phone? No .. it wouldn't survive being driven over by a car or being run through the wash, it doesn't have a battery life of 1 week, and my Nokia never crashed.
