Tiktok #1 App on Apple’s App Store
Recently, Apple announced its much-awaited list of the most downloaded apps across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. According to it the most popular free iPhone app in the United States was TikTok in 202. At the same time raster graphics editor app, Procreate was the most popular paid one. As for free games on iPhone, Among Us bagged the top rank, while Minecraft was the most downloaded paid game.
The tech giant also announced App Store Award winners. The children’s app maker Toca Boca won the iPhone App of the Year for “Toca Life World,” and Riot Games’ “League of Legends: Wild Rift” was declared the iPhone Game of the Year.
Conventionally, award winners are relative newcomers and are celebrated for having taken advantage of Apple’s tech in innovative ways. But, with “Toca Life World,” the strategy seems to be a bit different this year. Its developer – Toca Boca – has released over 40 kids’ apps till now. The company celebrated its ten-year anniversary this March.
It should be noted that the past year has been tough for the Apple App Store because of increased regulatory scrutiny and various lawsuits concerning its commission-based business model. The Epic Games case, which has caught the eyes of the world is still going on. Because of this, Apple was forced to reduce commission in some cases. It has even mended its policies.
