An app is considered abandoned by Pixalate if it has not been updated in at least three years. Abandoned apps may pose privacy risks for both children and consumers, as updates to apps could incorporate not only bug fixes but also changes to data collection practices, consumer opt-in requirements, and privacy policies. ## **Top 5 Global Abandoned Apps with Ads - Apple App Store - May 2026** | **Rank** | **OS ** | **Country of Registration** | **App ID** | **App Name** | **Developer Name** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | iOS | United States | 1384622732 | Draw In™ | Lion Studios LLC | | 2 | iOS | Not Listed | 1603978681 | Word Guess - Word Games | Mediaflex Ltd | | 3 | iOS | Lithuania | 1179715015 | Guns of Boom | Game Insight UAB | | 4 | iOS | United Kingdom | 1494502529 | Hoop Stack | Bigger Oyun Yazilim ve Pazarlama Anonim Sirketi | | 5 | iOS | United States | 1483027214 | Stencil Art - Spray Masters | Lion Studios LLC |   ## **Top 5 Global Abandoned Apps with Ads - Google Play Store - May 2026** | **Rank** | **OS ** | **Country of Registration** | **App ID** | **App Name** | **Developer Name** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Android | Republic Of Korea | com.theonegames.gunshipbattle | GUNSHIP BATTLE: Helicopter 3D | JOYCITY Corp. | | 2 | Android | Republic Of Korea | com.ogqcorp.bgh | Backgrounds HD (Wallpapers) | OGQ | | 3 | Android | Singapore | com.game.SkaterBoy | Skater Boy | Neworld Games | | 4 | Android | Singapore | com.game.BMX_Boy | BMX Boy | Neworld Games | | 5 | Android | Singapore | com.game.basketballshoot | Basketball Shoot | Neworld Games |   To compile the research, Pixalate's data science team analyzed over 14 million mobile apps in the [Google Play Store and Apple App Store](https://www.pixalate.com/abandoned-mobile-apps-report) in May 2026.

Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” Where the traffic characteristics are suggestive of deliberate intent to mislead, such IVT is often referred to as “ad fraud.” Also per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes.”* ### Search Blog Search ### Follow Pixalate ### Subscribe to our blog *By entering your email address and clicking Subscribe, you are agreeing to our [Terms of Use ](https://www.pixalate.com/terms)and [Privacy Policy.](https://www.pixalate.com/privacypolicy) Previous Story [← Pixalate Unveils OpenEPG™ Index: Monthly Rankings of Top 100 Streaming TV Shows Based on Open Programmatic CTV Ad Spend & Consumer Reach Across Small & Large Screens;
