The summer has just ended, but Apptica team already has fresh analytics to share! Last month we presented Hot Releases feature. This section contains ranking of the best newly published apps in all categories and allows to get the most up-to-date information about them.

Today we are going to talk about most downloaded recently released games and applications both in App Store and Google Play – according to our own analytic tools, of course.

Android platform leaders

First of all, let's have a look at Game category. Here, the indisputable leader is My Talking Angela 2:

Release date – 13 July 2021

Downloads – more than 68,3 million

Revenue – 216,7 thousand USD

My Talking Angela 2 is a casual game from Outfit7, the studio that created My Talking Tom 2 and My Talking Tom Friends. It not only continues the story of the well-known Talking Angela, but takes it further: new version contains singing and dancing experiences, more makeover options and new places to explore.

HBO Max: Stream and Watch TV, Movies, and More is winning in Application category:

Release date – 29 June 2021

Downloads – more than 12,1 million

Revenue – 10, 6 million USD

Premium streaming app deservedly leads in this category. HBO Max app combines all TV series available on the original platform as well as blockbuster movies and exclusive Max Originals. Its developers promise that the users will have access to thousands of hours of entertainment.

The hottest apps on iOS platform

App Store's Game category newbie leader is RuneScape:

Release date – 17 June 2021

Downloads – more than 14,7 million

Revenue – 1,7 million USD

This role-playing adventure game was developed by Jagex studio. The creators claim that this game has the best ever fantasy MMO RPG open world as well as its own legend and lore. The concept of the game allows users to choose – the riskiness level, the characters they pick and the style of playing – alone or in a team. Probably this is why RuneScape became a number one app in its category.

The first place in Application category has HBO Max: Stream TV & Movies. In comparison with Android device holders, iOS users downloaded the app more times – and subscribed much more often:

Release date – 29 June 2021
