        About the Data: Urban Airship analyzed customer data in aggregate to identify apps with at least 5,000 downloads that had sent at least 1,000 cumulative pushes in one month. Analysis included 2,946 apps that had collectively sent more than 93 billion notifications to more than 533 million users. For industry-specific insights apps were manually categorized into 15 industry verticals. To offer performance benchmarks, results were grouped into High, Medium and Low ranges using 90th, 50th and 10th percentiles.

        Android apps were excluded from the study as Android users are automatically opted in to notifications on app download.
