Apple's WWDC Rap Was More Than a Playlist
Apple's WWDC 2026 app song named a tiny slice of the App Store, but the apps behind the lyrics are far bigger, older, and more successful than average.
010
Appfigures @appfigures.com · 10/06/2026
🎧 Apple could've filled its WWDC rap with shiny AI startups. Instead, it chose apps averaging 11 years old. 95 made the cut. 92 have hit #1. Averaging 270x the installs and 665x the revenue of a typical app. It wasn’t hyping new trends. It was spotlighting staying power.
Bar graph comparing app downloads and net revenue, highlighting Apple's list was significantly above average, at 270x and 665x.

Can Instagram Beat Snapchat at Its Own Game with This New App?
Instagram's new Instants app shows Meta can still turn a social feature into a multi-million-download app launch, but Snapchat's camera habit is harder to copy.

Appfigures @appfigures.com · 03/06/2026
💡 Instants doesn't need to beat Snapchat day one. It has to show Instagram can push a behavior back into the mainstream. 4M installs so far says it can. The hard part is building the habit. Threads shows the result of Meta being patient. Instants might get the same treatment.

Appfigures @appfigures.com · 30/04/2026

💡 The real story isn’t an agent marketplace, it’s ceilings. Picsart revenue per download hit one at around $2/install. Meanwhile, downloads softened. So it added a new axis of spend per user, not more users. The jury is out on its effectiveness, but we should know more soon.

The App That Tricked TikTok To The Top of the App Store (And It's Still There)
Freecash used TikTok ads to rocket to the top of the US App Store and has stayed there for nearly two months. Here's how.
010
Appfigures @appfigures.com · 03/03/2026
🤯 An app you’ve never heard of is up with ChatGPT on the App Store charts. Freecash jumped from 40K iOS installs a month to almost 6M. Not from product innovation. From a TikTok ad promising a payout for scrolling your feed. The payday wasn't legit, but 5.5M downloads were.
A line graph shows Freecash's fluctuating US App Store rank over two months, reaching a peak around mid-January before declining.

The Most Predictable Spike in the App Store
Every year, one app quietly takes over the App Store charts for a few days. It's not a game, not a social network, and not AI. Here's what's behind the spike.

Appfigures @appfigures.com · 25/02/2026
📈 The most predictable spike in the App Store isn’t in fitness. It’s a prayer app. Hallow just pulled 263K (est.) downloads on Ash Wednesday. Again. 25x its normal day. Clockwork demand, calendar-driven growth. The real question now: how much of it turns into March revenue.

Appfigures @appfigures.com · 20/02/2026
🤖 🏈 Claude bet the Super Bowl on one message: “No ads in your AI.” Downloads jumped 211% week-over-week. Every other major AI app dipped or stayed flat. And the craziest part? The biggest day wasn’t game day. It was a week later. That’s not a spike. That’s momentum.

Grok Earned Almost as Much as ChatGPT in Its First Year

Appfigures @appfigures.com · 18/02/2026
🔥 Grok just matched ChatGPT’s first year revenue on mobile. ~$79M in 12 months (estimated). ChatGPT did ~$80M in its first 12. The difference? ChatGPT launched alone. Grok launched into a knife fight. If this pace holds, year two gets interesting fast.
