Rise of Zombie Apps on the App Store

In other news related to the iOS App store, a new report from Mashable says that nearly 80% of the 1.2 million apps currently available are "Zombie Apps". The apps have just been sitting in the App Store with hardly any downloads at all. The report cites data from a mobile analytics company.

The data says that in June, "953,387 apps out of the 1,197,087 available ones (or 80%) were zombie apps, up from 75% in December 2013 and 70% in June 2013." A low number of downloads for a majority of apps is because app discovery is still a major issue for developers.

Owing to the fact that over 60,000 new apps are added to the App Store every month, it is becoming increasingly more difficult for apps to gain visbility and stand out amongst competitors.
