Say The Same Thing, a new iOS word game from digital–friendly indie band OK Go, was the 50 billionth app downloaded on the App Store, Apple has revealed.
Ohio’s Brandon Ashmore helped the App Store to pass the milestone when he downloaded the game earlier this week, winning a $10,000 App Store gift card in the process. There has been considerable excitement over the 50bn milestone and the news should boost downloads of Say The Same Thing, which gets users to choose random words, then guess the connections between them, in a Words With Friends-esque fashion.
The game itself is free, although users can pay to remove ads or to buy virtual bananas.
Announcing the news, Apple revealed that the App Store is currently generating more than 2bn downloads a month. “The App Store completely transformed how people use their mobile devices and created a thriving app ecosystem that has paid out over nine billion dollars to developers. We’re absolutely floored to cross this milestone in less than five years,” says SVP of internet software and services Eddy Cue, in a statement.
