Katy Perry's app flops


Pop

Featured Posts

"Katy Perry Pop," the second big celebrity-themed game from Glu Mobile (NASDAQ:GLUU), launched last week with more of a meow than a roar, casting doubt on Glu's business plans.

The game starring pop star Perry, whose hit songs include "Firework" and "Roar," debuted on Thursday. Glu had hoped "Katy Perry Pop" would continue the success it found with "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," a title based on the reality-TV star. But the new title has lagged on the Apple App Store and Alphabet's Google Play store.

As of Monday afternoon, "Katy Perry Pop" was No. 54 (currently #144) among free iPhone games on the Apple App Store and No. 117 on the comparable Google Play chart. "Katy Perry Pop" is a freemium game, which means it's free to download and play, but offers in-app purchases.

What's worse, users posted numerous reviews claiming the game is glitchy and crashes frequently. Others said the game play is dull and repetitive. In the game, Perry guides wannabe pop stars on the road to stardom in the music industry.

Glu stock fell over 19% to 2.38 on the stock market today. That's its lowest level in more than two years. In May, Glu traded as high as 7.03.

I could drag her..

But given our own experience with a certain app, I mean gif maker, I won't.

ARTPOP App debuted at #1 with 350k downloads in it's first day.

As we can see, talent always wins! :applause:

350.000 fans, half of which deleted the app after day one. You want me to be excited about that?

Better than zero fans, like in Katy Perry's case!

It scares me how Katy haters act 100% the same as Gaga ones, using even the same logic.

Birthday and This Is How We Do were flops, too.

It seems like poor KP is on a downwards spiral. :hor:

I wouldn't be surprised if she'll decrease with next album... I mean we all know all pop stars have their tops and flops..

so ready for her ARTPOP era:hor:

i wonder how she will deal this when her career hits a low.i mean this will be her first time and she doesn't has the talent/courage to re-invent herself like Gaga :koons:

We're quick to call other popstars a 'flop' but when our fave gets the same treatment we're all about online kindness and empathy towards artists who try to push an envelope...

Gotta love the hypocrisy...
