At Google Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) Google Play store, the most downloaded free app was the mobile version of Facebook, followed by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Skype.
This month for the first time Distimo also reported downloads from Amazon.com Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) App Store. All five top free downloads were games, led by Crazy Dentist and the Kindle version of Tetris.
