iPhone App Downloads Dropped Again In April, As Apples Bot Crackdown Continues

gtekna-botMobile app downloads continued to decline in April and the cost to acquire loyal users picked up, reports mobile marketing firm Fiksu in its latest report out today.

There were also a number of new game releases in April, which led to increased interest and competition among the developer community in that category, as well.
