Flurry has provided new insights into the retention rate for applications and games that have been downloaded by consumers world-wide. It turns out that 14.8% of the apps are sticky enough to satisfy consumers in the long term.
In this user behavior, Africa is dominating as 21% of the consumers that downloaded their mobile game of app at some point of time and used it in the past 7 days. The Central America follows at a second place with 16% and the third place is divided between the Middle East and South America. This shows that consumers in developing markets are probably selecting their apps at a higher precision. Probably due to a lacking infrastructure or lower spending.
