ComScore Lists Top 25 iPhone Apps

ComScore has posted a list of the top 25 iPhone applications order by penetration of Apple app users.

"comScore's Apple App Store data confirms the popularity of Tap Tap Revenge," said Bart Decrem, CEO, Tapulous. "Unlike other Apple app rankings, which list apps by popularity during a given time period, the comScore view shows the cumulative installed base of the applications, thereby revealing the true size of the audience that can be reached. For example, we are able to see that some of the top gaming apps reach even more people than the most popular social networking apps. With such a large base having already installed the free version of the product, converting even a small portion into paid versions using premium content like Coldplay and Tap Tap Dance represents significant revenue upside."
