When I first started this exercise, I thought that I would find that the most changed apps were the ones "Gaming the System", in essence making artificially small changes that would put them back in the consumers eye when each new version came out. In fact, it looks like that may only be the case with two of this small set of apps. Each of the remaining 8 apps made substantial changes over time. That said, it's amazing to think that an application as simple as "Bubble Wrap" would have had 33 updates and "Classic Tic Tic Toe" would have had 29. [It's even more interesting to note that both of these were created by the same company...!]
Overall, of the 54,463 applications that were reviewed, almost 10% had more than 5 updates, 1.5% had more than 10, only .12 % had more than 20 and a mere .02% updated more than 25 times. Three apps have changed more than 30 times, and one application, "Brain X Get Smarter", has had an amazing 40 updates! Here's the top 10 list and a chart representing the rest.
