Vine’s user base grew over 400 percent in six months

Using data from the GlobalWebIndex, Statista tallied up the 10 fastest growing apps in the world, and Vine emerged on top.
Here’s how much growth Vine has witnessed since its launch in Jan. 2013.
With approximately 24 million users worldwide, Vine’s user base grew an incredible 403 percent between the first quarter of 2013 and the third quarter of 2013.
Runners up were the recently revamped Flickr app and Instagram. Notice a theme here? Mobile photo and video apps are obviously the darlings of 2013.
The chart from Statista below displays the world’s 10 fastest growing apps since the first quarter of this year.
Recently, Vine rolled out a huge update to its interface, which introduces two new features to the platform: Time Travel and Sessions.
Time Travel is the most interesting, both for Vine as a network and marketing tool, as it allows users to edit videos for the first time. This can be done within a post as you’re shooting it, letting you remove, reorganize or replace any shot before you publish. Similarly enough, the Sessions feature allows users to save posts and come back to work on them later – up to 10 posts can be saved at any one time.
In a statement released, Vine owner –Twitter – said: “Vine was built for one purpose: to make it easy for people to capture life in motion and share it with the world. That is the reason we built the Vine camera, and it’s why we continue to improve upon and build new tools for your creations, nurturing the balance between power and simplicity that you’ve come to expect from us. We think these features offer new ways for people to express themselves and their creativity. We hope you like them.”
