Interesting Mobile App Growth Trends from "Gauth", "Disney+", "ChatGPT", and "Threads" in September

However, some apps saw a surge in downloads due to the back-to-school season, reaching new milestones on both the App Store and Google Play.

"Gauth: AI Study Companion" started showing an upward trend in July during the summer break, and in September, its growth accelerated significantly, with downloads skyrocketing and user acquisition peaking.

Which other apps demonstrated significant trends in September?

Let's explore the notable growth trends of "Gauth: AI Study Companion," "Disney+," "ChatGPT," and "Threads" in September.

According to FoxData's App Intelligence, Gauth's downloads began to rise in July during the summer break, with growth accelerating each month. The back-to-school season in September led to a significant surge, with downloads peaking.

Will the download numbers continue to soar in October, setting new milestones?

Based on the current growth trend, Google Play has already surpassed September's download numbers by October 20th! However, Gauth's momentum on the App Store is slightly weaker, and it seems challenging to set a new milestone at the current growth rate.

Based on the average download numbers shown in the chart, Google Play is leading in terms of downloads, with the Philippines, Indonesia, and the United States being the primary markets.


Compared to Google Play, the App Store has a distinctly different list of leading markets, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam at the top.

Disney+

In addition to Gauth's milestone in downloads in September, "Disney+" also achieved a new breakthrough in revenue on the App Store.

Since January 2024, "Disney+" had shown a decline in user acquisition, with a slight increase starting in March, reaching a revenue milestone of $61,182,606 in September.


How impressive is Disney's brand influence? "Disney+" is the highest-grossing streaming app globally.

The overall revenue growth rate for "Disney+" accelerated in Q3, with the September revenue milestone linked to its announcement of a subscription fee increase and additional content features in Q3.

In August, Disney announced that the Disney+ subscription fee would increase by 25% starting October 17. This prompted users to subscribe before the price hike to lock in the current lower rates.

Starting September 4, "Disney+" added new content to attract and retain subscribers, including ABC News Live and content playlists designed for preschoolers. These new offerings were made available to all subscribers, further influencing subscription behavior. 

ChatGPT

"ChatGPT" is one of the fastest-growing apps on both the App Store and Google Play.
