These reports rank mobile apps by the number of ad impressions generated while the app is unavailable for download on [Apple App Store](https://www.pixalate.com/pixalates-top-delisted-mobile-apps-running-programmatic-ads-on-the-apple-app-store) or [Google Play Store](https://www.pixalate.com/pixalates-top-delisted-mobile-apps-running-programmatic-ads-on-the-google-play-store). For the purposes of this report, we define “top delisted apps running programmatic ads in Q1 2026” as mobile applications that generated ad impressions in Q1 2026, passed an App ID in the bid stream, and were not available for download in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store as of March 31, 2026. Rankings are based on the ***total volume of ad impressions generated while the apps were delisted*** during the stated measurement period. While some apps are delisted for benign reasons, others are removed due to actions which might include ad fraud or non-compliance with privacy regulations or app store policies. These actions may expose advertisers to potential financial or legal risks. Because apps can be delisted for various reasons and the initiator of the delisting is often not publicly known, Pixalate neither asserts nor assigns a reason for any delisting occurrence. An app may be delisted at the behest of the developer, an app store, or another entity. ## **Google Play Store: Top 5 Delisted Apps Running Programmatic Ads in Q1 2026** | **App Name** | **App ID** | **Developer Name** | | --- | --- | --- | | Cleaner | com.miui.cleaner | Xiaomi Inc. | | Qblock: Wood Block Puzzle Game | puzzle.blockpuzzle.cube.relax | Oakever Games | | DailyRewards | com.play.funny.games.daily.earn.rewards | JATILUHUR PRATAMA | | Zen Color - Color By Number | happy.paint.coloring.color.number | Oakever Games | | Offline Music Player- Weezer | musica.musicfree.snaptube.weezer.mp3app | wazer music |   ## **Apple App Store: Top 5 Delisted Apps Running Programmatic Ads in Q1 2026 ** | **App Name** | **App ID** | **Developer Name** | | --- | --- | --- | | Musi - Simple Music Streaming | 591560124 | Musi Inc. | | Jigblock™ Puzzle | 6747734279 | Beijing Hong Hai Wu Xian Technology Development Co., Ltd. | | Tubidy Fm Offline Music Player | 1355464544 | Tubidy Fm Media S.R.L. | | Music X Pro | 1644847077 | CEKA INTERNATIONAL S.R.L. | | ReelShortDrama | 6749560169 | Weifeng She |   ## **Methodology** To compile this research, Pixalate’s data science and analysis teams analyzed 56 billion impressions generated by 14 million apps while the apps unavailable for download on Apple App Store or Google Play Store in Q1 2026. **Download the complete reports here:** **[![Google Play Store](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2364596/e910a5a9-638e-4b13-9ac7-2b2aa704efda.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2364596/e910a5a9-638e-4b13-9ac7-2b2aa704efda)     [![Apple App Store](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2364596/1f112740-8089-4561-ae75-6501e16cbb22.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2364596/1f112740-8089-4561-ae75-6501e16cbb22)** **About Pixalate** Pixalate is a global platform specializing in privacy compliance, ad fraud prevention, and digital ad supply chain data intelligence.

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 Releases Q1 2026 Top Mobile Apps by Ad Revenue Reports: ‘Vita Mahjong’ No. 1 on Google Play Store ($11M), ‘Happy Color by Numbers Game’ leads on Apple App Store ($10M)](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalates-q1-2026-top-mobile-apps-by-ad-revenue) [** ](https://www.pixalate.com/blog) Next Story [Pixalate Releases Q1 2026 Global Top CTV Apps by Ad Revenue Reports: Hulu No. 1 on Samsung Smart TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku →](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalates-q1-2026-top-100-ctv-apps-by-ad-revenue) ## You May Also Like These Stories on Mobile Apps [![](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/Abandoned%20Mobile%20Apps%20Report%20-%20blog%20cover.png) ](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalate-releases-may-2026-global-abandoned-mobile-apps-report) [Mobile Apps](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/topic/mobile-apps) ### [Pixalate Releases May 2026 Global Abandoned Mobile Apps Report: “Draw In™” at the top on Apple App Store, “GUNSHIP BATTLE: Helicopter 3D” tops Google Play Store](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalate-releases-may-2026-global-abandoned-mobile-apps-report) Jun 24, 2026 9:00:02 AM | 3 min read [![](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/Blog%20Media/2026%20Covers%20and%20Images/MONTHLY%20MOST%20COMMON%20MOBILE%20AD%20FRAUD%20TYPES%20GOOGLE%20-%20APPLE%20BLOG%20COVER.png) ](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/pixalates-may-2026-most-common-mobile-app-ad-fraud-types) [Ad Fraud](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/topic/ad-fraud) ### [Pixalate Releases May 2026 Most Common Mobile App Ad Fraud Types: ‘High Risk Device ID’ Most Common Type Across Google Play Store (32%);
