September wasn't the bestest of months for apps that monetize the younger crowed. I'm mainly talking about games here, but there are a few other apps that felt the crunch.

Snap's (SNAP) biggest month of mobile revenue!

According to our estimates, Snapchat's mobile revenue dropped a frightening 24% in September down to $13.7M. The drop brought Snapchat's top grossing rank in the US App Store from 24th place in August down to 47th place in mid-September.
Twitter, I mean X, I mean Twitter, took a big hit in September as well so I won't hold this drop against Snap. I'll wait to see October's haul before making any conclusions.
