2. ROBLOX (Revenue $26.15 Million)

Roblox’s appearance on this list as the second highest earning iOS app can come off as a major surprise to many. The app raked up a whopping $26.15 million in revenue till June 2020, which is incredible considering that it’s not your conventional gaming app like Fortnite or PUBG mobile.

Roblox is an iOS app that primarily targets kids, offering free games based on 3D play. On this app, kids can visit theme parks, host birthday parties, build homes, and keep pets among many other exciting activities.

As for how it monetizes itself, Roblox offers Robux as a digital currency to use inside its app in order to unlock premium features. These premium features can include removing limitations on the way one can build theme park rides or the speed at which gameplay continues.

The earnings of Roblox surged during the Covid-19 pandemic as parents required kids to remain busy with something that wasn’t just fun but provided productive engagement as well. Roblox emerged as the perfect answer to this, hence becoming one of the top earning iOS apps of this year.

3. Monster Strike (Revenue $25.96 Million)

Monster Strike’s is the third highest earning iOS app as of June 2020, and come to think of it, just a couple of years ago, its developer Mixi was considering it as a failure. This speaks volumes about the fact that if you can tweak a particular app just enough to suit the preferences of your audience, then there is nothing that can be considered a permanent failure in the world of apps.

Monster Strike is a multiplayer role-play physics game where players are required to complete different missions, where they continue to build their monsters and use them in a bid to defeat other players on a consistent basis. The strongest support base for this game still comes in from the Southeast Asian regions, with Japan remaining its number one market till now.
