(ECNS) -- Momo, a location-based social networking app for strangers, ranked No. 1 in terms of yearly revenue on the iOS App Store in China during 2015, according to San Francisco-based app analytics firm App Annie.
Momo is followed by Baidu and Tencent in the annual iOS revenue ranking list. App Annie bases the ranking on download revenue from individually downloaded paid apps as well as in-app purchase revenue from both individually downloaded apps and app bundles.
This marked the third year in a row for Momo to capture the No. 1 spot.
The popular app has gained widespread traction through its find-and-flirt capabilities. It also ranks second in the non-game app category in China.
Momo members reached 3.3 million, membership subscription revenues were $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, and mobile marketing revenues $10.8 million, according to its third-quarter earnings report.
