According to a recent survey by App Annie, in July 2017 YouTube’s Android app accounted for 80% of total time spend on mobile in the US. The app accounted for 9.5 billion hours of the 12 billion total hours consumers spent, reports TechChrunch.

Other video apps that are on the list include Netflix, ESPN, Amazon Video and more.

Talking about YouTube’s expansion TechChrunch’s Sarah Perez says, “The company this year launched YouTube TV, a Sling TV competitor that lets consumers stream live TV and record to a cloud DVR through a dedicated app for $35 per month. That service is available to half of U.S. households as of August, and continuing to expand.

In addition to its ads, YouTube makes money by way of YouTube Red, the optional service that offers premium features like offline access to videos, an ad-free experience, background play for music, and original programming. That’s helped YouTube climb the top revenue charts, as well, where it ranks the #3 video streaming app (across iOS and Android) by peak revenue in a month, and #4 by average revenue in a month”.
