This is a single insight from The Top Mobile Apps in August by Downloads and Revenue. Check out the full article for more insights.


Meesho Beats Shopee, SHEIN, and Amazon!

The top charts change a lot less often these days, so we're adding a new section to our monthly report which focuses on a single category. Following the rise of Meesho, this time, we'll be looking at the shopping category.

Meesho, India's fast-fashion success story, was the most downloaded shopping app in the world in August, beating Asia-favorite Shopee, SHEIN, Alibaba, and Amazon. And Meesho is only available in India.

That entire list makes up the five most downloaded shopping apps in the world in August, which together accumulated 70M downloads, according to our App Intelligence.

On the App Store, SHEIN was the top dog, beating shopping-king Amazon in a list that also included H&M, Nike, Shop (which isn't exactly a shopping app, but we'll let it slide), and several Chinese apps.
