Hangman 220,000 +130,000 + 144% Birthday apps like Birthday Reminder typically grow quickly because they prompt users to share messages and invite their friends to the app, but there is often little reason for users to return. No. 2 on our list, SimCity Social: Get free stuff is a page tab application where users can collect virtual goods by Liking the SimCity Social page, sharing posts on their Timeline, and providing an email address. It has grown to 580,000 MAU in about a week and a half. Music service Songza came in at No. 3, likely as a result of its new iPad app. The web and mobile versions integrated Facebook Open Graph in September, and now with new iPad users, the app saw 620 percent growth in the past week. No. 10 Pot Farm continues to experience a resurgence, steadily approaching 1 million MAU where it had been two years ago. No. 14 Opera Mini has been rising quickly since its new browser for feature phones and Blackberry launched at the end of May. The browser includes a "Smart Page" feature that provides a summary of news from a user's Facebook and Twitter accounts. All data in this post comes from our traffic tracking service, AppData. Stay tuned next week for our look at the top weekly gainers by monthly active users on Monday, the top weekly gainers by daily active users on Wednesday, and the top emerging apps on Friday.
