> Only about 35% of smartphone users download any apps at all in an average month

Misleading title.

Agreed. I might go months without downloading any new apps, then I'll download/buy five or six in a day. That throws off the average.

The number and the article is also almost a year old.

'Most' of us were not born 'in any given month'. That doesn't mean we weren't born 'at all'. Inaccurate headline.

The percentage of users buying apps in a given month does relate to the overall number of app purchases. Also, we're only born once, but we can buy apps any time we want.

But 'at all' isn't the same as this or that month.
