The Most Iterated App

The Drop From 980 to 510

Gangstar Vegas - Mafia action sits at major version 980. That number alone tells you something about this board: an app that's shipped nearly a thousand numbered updates and still hasn't slowed down. Block Out! - Color Sort Puzzle trails by twenty, at 960, putting the top two closer together than almost any other pair on this list. RuneScape follows at 949, then Balls Master: Brick Breaker at 938, then Djamo at 900. Four apps, four separate developers, and already a 22-point spread by the fifth slot.

The real gap shows up further down. Look at the drop from #1 to #100, from 980 down to 510, nearly cut in half. The leader's version count runs 1.9 times the median across the whole top 100. This isn't a gentle slope. There's a short, crowded ledge at the top, then a long stretch of apps iterating hard, just not nearly as hard as the leader.

A Crown That Barely Moved, Then Suddenly Did

The crown has only changed hands one time during the tracked period, and it just happened: YPT - Study Group handed it off to Gangstar Vegas - Mafia action in July 2026. YPT - Study Group, from UnCheon Baek, now sits at #10, still safely inside the top ten but a long way from where it used to be. Gangstar Vegas is brand new to that top ten, and it's already held the #1 spot for 32 of the last 47 tracked days, a fast, nearly total takeover for a board that usually moves this much.

And it does move. Average movement inside the top ten over the window works out to 8 places, which is a lot of churn for a metric that's supposed to reward steady, patient shipping. Block Out! - Color Sort Puzzle makes the point best: it climbed from #9 all the way up to #2. Seven spots on a version-count board doesn't happen by accident. Somebody at Grand Games A.Ş. is pushing releases out fast, and it's clearly working.

One Developer, Four Apps, and an Outlier Nobody Expected

Playcus Limited doesn't just show up once here, it shows up four times in the visible top 25: Cross-Stitch: Coloring Book at #6, Cross Stitch Coloring Art at #7, Cross Stitch:Craft & Art at #21, and Art Book:Paint Color by Number at #25. One studio is running four separate coloring apps through hundreds of version bumps each, and that says less about any single app and more about a shop that treats iteration itself as the whole business model. Pine Games shows the same instinct on a smaller scale, landing Word Weaver: Association Game at #8 and Number Paint: Color Puzzle at #23.

None of that comes anywhere close to the real outlier, though. LIN Television Corporation shows up 23 times across the full top 100. Twenty-three entries under one name stops looking like a pattern and starts looking like a quiet takeover of the tail end of this board, and it's the one detail a quick glance at the top ten would never catch.

980 Versions In, and the Reviews Say Ads

Here's what should temper any admiration for that 980 figure: reviews of Gangstar Vegas - Mafia action, 118 of them, run negative overall, with sentiment sitting at -0.38 and still sliding. Users keep coming back to excessive ads cutting into gameplay, alongside recurring complaints about graphics, multiplayer, and account issues.

The app that's pushed furthest into its own version history is, right now, the one its own users are souring on. The version number doesn't explain that away. Nearly a thousand releases in, and the thing people notice most isn't the polish those releases were supposed to deliver. It's the ads.
