(Yicai Global) May 9 -- Popular Chinese short-video platform Kuaishou has topped Russia's mobile app store rankings for Android and iOS, with users attracted by its popular videos and active advertising function.

The app, operated by Beijing Kuaishou Technology Co., has topped download rankings for the Google Play Store and App Store since May 7, analytics company App Annie said on its website.

Russia's mobile application market is growing rapidly. Mobile application downloads in the country last year were among the top five globally, while Russian users' total spending on Google Play is also among the highest in the world, App Annie said.

Kuaishou ranked third among China's video apps nationally in the fourth quarter of last year.
