Surpassing advertising giants, Facebook and Google, Vungle was featured as the number one leader in iOS gaming retention globally and in North America. On Android, Vungle moved multiple spots from last year's report, securing the second spot in gaming retention in North America and the fifth spot in gaming retention globally.
