Facebook’s Power Editor tool for advertisers came in at No. 8 this week because of a reporting glitch. Typically Facebook does not return MAU numbers for its own products, except occasionally when updates are made.

All data in this post comes from our traffic tracking service, AppData. Stay tuned for our look at the top weekly gainers by daily active users on Thursday, and the top emerging apps on Friday.
