Recently, a third party "Adjust.com" on Apple's software store in the composition of the software were analyzed, and found that the inside is filled with a large number of zombie software, these software basically no substantial user.
How to define "zombie software"? The agency believes that if a software in 1/3 of the time in AppStore's top 300 rankings, it does not belong to the zombie software". In other words, zombie software is not without the user's software, but the user is very limited size, belong to a long unknown.

For example, in the type of commercial software, has been dominated by a small number of successful software, it is difficult to access new developers. They can choose less competitive "office efficiency" and "financial services" and other areas, the development of iOS software.
In addition to the "navigation" and "Sports" type of software, software zombie is relatively low, because these software are related and the local position, good software can not be the winner takes all, provide living space for local developers.
In fact, apple AppStore or Google Play there are a lot of zombie software, which is not news. In early 2012, with the mobile Internet market research firm found that in 700 thousand applications of AppStore, there are nearly 400 thousand of zombie software accounted for nearly 60%, downloads and user comments are scanty.
