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.
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.
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.
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
Netherlands it is then.
Based Netherlands.

All Recovery is an app to recover deleted or lost items from your Android’s internal memory. All Recovery can recover photos, videos, audios and documents that have been previously deleted on the device.
Serbia has an itchy delete finger, apparently.
Yeah, what’s up with Latvia? Why would people mass-download a grocery store app? Besides, iki is better. At least it was 10 years ago. Do they still have iki?
I’m from Latvia. I have the app, but I don’t believe for 1 second that it’s the most downloaded one. Hell, half the country doesn’t even like that grocery store and would much rather go to Rimi.
I don’t remember Rimi. Is it new or was it just small back then? The two main ones were Maxima and iki.
Happy cake day, btw.
Yeah, Iki was a loong time ago. Rimi has been the “main” grocery store for quite some time. Maxima has gathered a reputation of being a bit trashier, but also cheaper.
Didn’t even notice I joined Lemmy a year ago, thanks!
Because of discounts

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
Out of everything the most depressing is Klarna. It’s a buy now pay later microloans that should just be forbidden.
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.
We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.
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)
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?
It is the most downloaded app in 2024
I think most Dutchies already had Whatsapp installed prior to 2024.
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
TIL Bulgaria is the best country in Europe
Goddamn right Crimea is part of Ukraine.
Wtf is klarna?
Swedish fintech for online payments. A lot of young people go into debts with their “shop now, buy later” function
So credit card with extra steps?
Credit cards are not that wide spread in many parts of Europe opposed to the US. I guess it’s more like PayPal with the possibility to pay later. But yes, I also use my debit/credit card for online payment, which is a step more as I have to enter many numbers for that.
Layaway without the wait
Credit card with no interest or very very low interest.
It’s like lay-away for people old enough to remember that, except you get the product immediately instead of later.
Credit card with no rewards and more predatory payment scheme
Yikes, that sounds bad. Credit cards aren’t really known for being above-board there either.
pretty sure this is bullshit. have seen some other maps on there too. unconvincing stats with no sources.
“Wtf is TEMU?”
Oh…
Also, wtf is MA IMA?
Temu is basically Wish.
Maxima is a Lithuanian retail chain which operates throughout the Baltics.
That red X on a red background 👌
Kosovo out here just trying to avoid speed traps.
