iPhone leads iPad and iPod Touch, accounting for three-quarters of failures.
App diagnostics firm Crittercism analysed the Apple and Google operating systems between December 1st and December 15th 2011 and found that iOS apps are the most unreliable, crashing more than those on Android, according to Forbes.
The report says iOS creations crashed after 0.51 per cent of launches, while Android was at just 0.15 per cent in the first quartile.
The second and third quartiles demonstrated iOS launch crashes of 1.47 and 3.66 per cent respectively, while Android had 0.73 per cent and 2.97 per cent.
Crittercism examined 23 different versions of iOS and 33 different Android versions, which showed iOS 5.0.1 was the cause of 33.93 per cent of iOS crashes, while Android Gingerbread (2.3.3) was responsible for 24.76 per cent of crashes.
The reason for the technical glitches has been put down to number of reasons with hardware, GPS, cameras and device memory among them.

Andrew Levy, CEO, Crittercism, said: "It can be a mix of both hardware and software issues that developers may or may not be responding to.
Levy highlights that Android ICS is likely to see a series of malfunctions in the same way that iOS 5.0 experienced when it first rolled out.
Further results show that most iOS crashes occurred on the iPhone with 74.41 per cent, while iPod received 14.87 per cent and iPad had 10.72 per cent.
