In the previous chapter, we left you with a cliffhanger worthy of a top-tier series: the apps of the main Chinese marketplaces were experiencing a significant drop in downloads in Spain and the rest of the EU. We linked this to the implementation of the new €3 fee for low-value shipments and the impact it would have on their business. Now, we have even more data pointing in that direction, but it's time to see if Temu, Shein, or AliExpress have recovered some of their lost ground. Most downloaded shopping apps in Spain during August Lidl Plus Shop Wallapop Vinted Amazon MediaMarkt Mercadona Action Temu Shein As you can see, Temu and Shein remain in 9th and 10th place on the list of most downloaded apps in Spain in August, far from the top positions they held for many months until the beginning of summer. It's true they're no longer falling in the rankings, but their modest position in this top 10 is quite striking. AliExpress, however, is recovering some ground, moving from 22nd to 15th, likely thanks to the campaign launched this month to try and win back the Spanish market. Otherwise, according to Data.ai, the big winner in August was Lidl, which propelled its loyalty app, Lidl Plus, to the top of the rankings, followed by Shop and Wallapop. Meanwhile, the Dutch discount chain Action maintains its presence in the top 10 after its strong showing in July. Most Downloaded Apps in Spain During August ChatGPT TikTok Idealista WhatsApp Messenger Google Gemini Dramawave Cl@ve PIN FNMT Digital Certificate Revolut TikTok Pro Looking at the overall list of apps, two stand out above the rest: Idealista, which enters this top list for the first time in many months, and Dramawave, a very curious app that jumps 40 places to become the sixth most downloaded. You probably haven't heard of it, but it's a Chinese platform created in 2024 that already has more than 80 million active users worldwide. Its appeal? Miniseries and very short dramas, especially romances and heartbreaks, which are becoming so popular lately. It also allows users to leave messages on the screen while watching episodes to interact with other viewers, offering a unique user experience. Moreover, ChatGPT and Gemini continue to represent the AI ​​sector in the ranking, from which Claude remains absent, months after the success he achieved following the conflict between the United States Government and Anthropic.
