Ho hum . . . so disappointing that someone will find my password to EllenTube and watch Ellen Degenerate. . .
I’m not sure they found them all. There are many who use the same app developer/framework for specific types of apps. Notice how many banking apps look VERY similar and function the same. It’s likely because the core code is the same among them with only customization done (kind of like web pages done with the same Wordpress template, just the colors and images/content change, but they all look very similar).
LOTS of banks (especially smaller banks) use the same basic app - and I doubt these folks were able to track down and test all of them.
But I do agree, none appear to be insanely popular!
