Netherlands it is then.

[-] epicstove@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 days ago

Based Netherlands.

[-] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 23 points 6 days ago

This can't be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?

Because Google Play spams you with it, I guess.

Probably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I've downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.

It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it's after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.

This is a Temu ad

Kosovo out here just trying to avoid speed traps.

Is TikTok just extra popular in failing countries?

[-] epicstove@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

I mean, if everything if falling apart around you and know you can't do shit then a bit of escapism looks pretty tempting.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 5 days ago

I'm reminded of something I read during the US ban, "nobody can afford bread and they're banning the circus."

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

What's that smiling ghost in Kosovo?

Waze, it's a navigation app owned by Google

Damn, I didn't know the Netherlands were cool like that.

[-] De_Narm@lemmy.world 168 points 1 week ago

That's depressing as fuck.

I know. Cheap crap is a stain.

Loving Bulgaria. Everybody's doing social networks, meanwhile they're "ooh, a puzzle game!"

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

Temu is more like a capitalism network than a social network, but yeah Chad Bulgaria playing tetris instead of giving into consumerism.

So the source page just doesn't exist. But https://mapsinterlude.wordpress.com/ does. When you visit it, this post is easily found, but do they list any of their sources? No. I checked a few sites that list top apps by country and just checked Denmark, because that's where I'm from and temu was #8.

[-] MrSoup@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

I took it from instagram, it's probably not correct. If you confirm that this information is incorrect, I can delete the post so as not to spread misinformation.

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 3 points 6 days ago

No, no it's fine, I wasn't trying to dismiss the posting of this, it's just that I'm sad I couldn't find any sources. I found a bit odd that Temu was #1 where I live, and although it's up there, I'm still curious how they got their data.

[-] Kuma@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Maybe from this site: https://www.businessofapps.com/data/most-popular-apps/

You can buy reports too.

I couldn't find one with the whole Europe (free), but Italy is still wrong in the image tho.

All places I find seem to point at this source tho https://appmagic.rocks/

Like this page that you would think had their own data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/698982/leading-android-apps-in-norway-by-downloads/

They could also just have looked up news articles for all the countries. Crunch that data haha

can it though, or just claims to be able to? as I know no apps without root privileges cqn do such things. unless it just searches things in the gallery recycle bin, in which case it is again useless because the gallery app can be used for that

People really use temu? I thought it was all crap.

Edit:

[-] Ansis100@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I used it once when I noticed a hammock underquilt - something I'd been looking for (it's basically a thermal layer for your hammock so your butt doesn't freeze at night). For context, these can cost from 50€ to several hundred.

It did all the stupid prize wheel things and offered the typical bs it usually does. However it made me an offer - buy 6 items and the underquilt will be included free. It didn't specify any prices or the typical "cheapest item is free", so I bought 6 of the cheapest things I could find (something like 50 hair ties for 0.50€, a pizza knife for 1€ etc).

I got the underquilt (and some random things) for ~6€ and, surprisingly, it works extremely well, even for quite cold weather!

Never used the app again, though. After the initial offers to get you hooked, the prices are usually worse than buying locally or just using AliExpress.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 32 points 1 week ago

This is most downloaded not most used, so I'd reckon a lot of people heard about it, downloaded it, used it, realised it was all crap, then deleted it.

Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It's a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.

[-] boovard@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I don't know if it was the case in other countries but in Belgium a very popular app used to store loyalty cards was bought by Klarna. It was not really clear that you could continue to use the old app for a while and not switch to Klarna. So I know a lot of people that just installed the app just to be able to have access to their cards.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.

[-] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Not just support it but sometimes it's the only option, so you also have to support their business even if you just paying upfront. (and hand over your personal data)

Only Netherland and Bulgaria can be proud of themselves.

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 29 points 1 week ago

Nobody can be as proud of themselves (because of this list I mean) as Lithuania: "LT72 is a website intended to prepare Lithuanian residents for emergencies. It allows residents to learn how to be be prepared for an accident, ..."
