Rapid 47% Drop In Google Play Store Apps

Google’s app marketplace has shed nearly half its titles since early 2024, in what looks like the biggest quality purge the platform has ever seen.

A Surprising Stat with Big Implications

Whereas at the start of last year, Google Play Store had around 3.4 million apps, according to new analysis from app intelligence platform Appfigures, that number has now dropped to just 1.8 million. That’s a massive 47 per cent decline in just over 12 months.
