The App Score Report of January 2013 is out. The Top 25 ever did not change a lot. Only a few apps entered it and a few left.
The most interesting data is about Facebook-owned apps whose App Score decreased last month. It’s almost certainly due to the release of the Facebook Poke app, which has a low App Score, as the quality of each app from a specific developer impacts the App Score for all of their apps).
Imangi Studios (creators of Temple Run) released the 2nd edition: Temple Run 2 but did not reach the all-time Top 25. Maybe next month.
