Jul. 4, 2018



But before we begin with the list of the most downloaded apps and the top-revenue earners, here are a few interesting stats:

Now, let’s talk about the raw downloads and popularity figures. Facebook is the all-time most-downloaded app on the App Store, followed by Facebook Messenger and YouTube. Barring YouTube, the top five slots are occupied by Facebook products, with Instagram and WhatsApp rounding off the list at the fourth and fifth spot.

As far as consumer spending is concerned, Netflix leads the pack and is followed by Spotify and Pandora radio. Tinder is the only non-streaming app in the top five list and sits below Tencent Video at the fifth spot.

When it comes to games, Candy Crush Saga emerged as the most downloaded iOS game of all time across the globe, followed by two other mobile gaming phenomenon, Subway Surfer and Fruit Ninja.

Clash of Clans is the game which has raked in the most revenue of any app on the App Store, and is trailed by Candy Crush Saga and Monster Strike. Multiplayer games and RPGs dominate the list of the top-ten games with the highest spending figures, which is not surprising due to the rich scope of in-game purchases in such games.
