Pixalate, the market-leading fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform for Connected TV (CTV) and Mobile Advertising, today released the Q2 2023 Delisted CTV Apps Report, which provides a global analysis of delisted apps across the Roku and Amazon Fire TV app stores. No apps were delisted from Samsung’s Smart TV app store in Q2 2023.
This report examines characteristics of delisted Roku and Amazon Fire TV apps, including the most popular delisted apps, the most popular delisted app developers, app delistings by category, open programmatic advertising trends on delisted apps, and more.
Delisted apps can pose significant risks to consumer privacy and the quality of the app ecosystem. While removing apps from a store can prevent future downloads, such apps often remain installed on users’ devices and continue to collect personal information. Pixalate benchmarks this important metric because advertising revenue directed to these apps can incentivize and perpetuate privacy risks.
Key Findings
