according to new figures from Google.

Android 4.4 Kitkat was officially presented on 31 October. After more than a month Kitkat 1.1 percent of all Android devices in the past month actively made use of Google Play.

Thus does this variant slightly better than its predecessor, Jellybean, that after a month stood at 0.8 percent. Since then, the method has changed.
