Android app developers are abandoning their apps in increasing numbers. These are apps that have not been updated in over two years.
The number of abandoned apps rises during Q2 in the Play Store, decreases in the App Store
So if apps that haven't received an update in two years are abandoned, what do you call an app that hasn't received an update in over five years? Those are known as"super-abandoned" apps and total 306,000 and are rising on both app storefronts combined. Those that haven't received an update in over three years on both the Android and iOS platforms total 840,000.
