iLike And Many Other Apps Get Punished With Profile Tab Removal

The removal of custom profile boxes and profile tabs for applications has been painful for many developers, including iLike who has seen their daily active user base drop from over 430,000 to under 100,000, a more than 75 percent decrease.

While many developers were aware that the change was impending, it wasn’t clear publicly what this would result in. It’s now clear that many developers have been significantly damaged by the overall experience. Slide, for example, has lost more than 90 percent of its daily active user base from the Top Friends application, dropping from 178,000 daily users to a little over 15,000.
