Name Analyzer and Spanish-Language Apps Top This Week's List of Fastest-Gaining Facebook Apps by DAU

Games offer the most significant gains on this week's list of fastest-growing Facebook apps by daily active users, leaving only a few significant non-game apps scattered throughout the top 20. It's led off by My Empire, the newest game from Electronic Arts. The innovative Roman-themed city builder is making waves with players, as we suggested it might when we first reviewed it over at Inside Social Games; that's also where you can find our take on the DAU gains of the various other games. Here's our full AppData list: Top Gainers This Week Name DAU Gain Gain, % 1. My Empire 715,564 +615,889 +617.90 2. PetVille 3,765,887 +399,202 +11.86 3. MindJolt Games 2,819,402 +336,994 +13.58 4.

Baking Life 211,049 +74,963 +55.09 Name Analyzer is the first non-game app to come up. But it actually appears to be the same as Name Analyzer, Name Analyzer and Name Analyzer -- yes, those are separate apps with the exact same name. It's possible that several independent developers are all copying each other, or that the same developer is simply re-releasing the app to repeatedly get a rush of new traffic. Facebook (for iPhone) is holding its usual place among the top 10; it typically grows adds a little over 1 percent DAU each week. We wrote more about it and other mobile apps earrlier today. Also take note of Entrevista tus Amigos and Frases Diarias, the two Spanish-language apps at numbers seven and eight. We've seen several Spanish apps doing quite well recently; what's unusual is that just-for-fun apps of their type (quizzes and quotes of the day) usually have quite low DAU as a percentage of MAU (simply, the number of people returning daily). Not so with these two: Frases, in particular, has 15 percent DAU / MAU. That could be because there are still too few apps for the language group, which now claims over 50 million Facebook users.
