First and foremost, I normally include the screenshots of all the Top Publishers, Top Apps, etc. But it appears as though my ‘PrintScreen’ Button is not having it today, so I’ll have to skip that portion of the article and instead deliver the information through interpretive dance. Not really.

But let’s hope by the end of this you know what’s up, and what’s down (in terms of apps and their rankings).

First, we’ll take a look at non-game apps, the top 10 Publishers for iOS were:

1) Google
2) Apple
3) Tencent
4) Facebook
5) Baidu
6) Alibaba Group
7) Hightalk Software
8) Bitstrips
9) Outfit 7
10) Microsoft

Interestingly, you would think that Apple would leads its own platform, but Google actually has less apps (36) and takes the #1 spot.

Top Publishers by Monthly Downloads for Google Play for November were as Follows:

1) Facebook
2) Google
3) Sungry Mobile
4) WhatsApp
5) Outfit 7
6) Microsoft
7) Kingsoft Internet Software
8) LINE
9) Twitter
10) NAVER

Again, you would think that Google would lead the way on their own platform, but that is not the case for the month of November, Facebook – which only has 8 Apps in the Google Play Store, compared to Google’s 127, outranks Google to take the #1 spot.

Looking at Revenues..

Jumping into Games

Gameloft is leading the way with 4 of the top 10 games on iOS Downloads. The Top Publishers by Monthly Game Downloads for iOS in November was as follows:

2) Electronic Arts
3) Tencent
4) Disney
5) Tiny Piece
6) Bluebear
7) King

9) NaturalMotion
10) Rovio

Yes, Rovio is all the way at the bottom. It would seem like just yesterday they were dominating the App Ecosystem with their angry little birds, but no doubt times have indeed changed. They make the majority of their money on merchandising these days any way, so no worries.

4) King
5) Rovio
6) Disney
7) Doodle Mobile

2) King
