Communications and Mass Media told ComNews that RuStore ( created by VK and the Ministry of Digital Development) is used by more than 7 million people. "Since the beginning of July, the application's audience has grown sixfold and continues to grow. RuStore hosts 5,000 applications and 3.5 thousand developers. The colombia mobile number database leaders in downloads are: financial applications - 38% of all downloads , services for life and work - 12% , "Entertainment" - 9% , "Shopping" - 8% ," the press service of the department said.

A VK press service representative noted that the Russian market is one of the largest and ranks sixth in the world in terms of mobile app downloads. " We see that the market continues to grow, and user interest is not waning. The main spending is on purchases within free apps, primarily games ," he added. " RuStore offers publishers to monetize apps, and users uninterrupted access and convenient payment. Over the course of several months in 2022, the store's audience has grown sixfold, with users regularly returning to the store to install new apps or download updates . "

Independent IT market expert Vadim Plesskiy noted that the figures provided by SafeBettingSite.com indicate that the number of app downloads is growing - the "average user" has downloaded mobile apps 51 times . " Users around the world downloaded mobile apps 255 billion times last year , and the total number of mobile device users in the world can be estimated at 5 billion ," he explained. " But we must understand that this is a kind of "hospital average" figure. Some people download apps less often, while others download them much more often. And not all apps are paid. There are a large number of high-quality apps available in the world that are free, and many of them do not require purchasing anything in the app . "

" If we talk about Russia, Apple and Google have removed the ability to make in-app purchases for users from Russia. Therefore, by the end of 2022 , we will see a noticeable drop in revenue through mobile app stores for Russia. And in 2023 , this revenue may be close to zero. So there are no prospects for developers of paid apps in Russia. As we know, this has already led to the curtailment of a number of gaming projects, largely focused on the Russian market , " commented Vadim Plesskiy .
