Chick-fil-A’s apps are ruling the roost on iOS charts right now

For those that didn’t already know, Chick-fil-A — the fast-food chain renowned for its chicken sandwiches, customer service, and closed-on-Sunday policy — launched the “Chick-fil-A Play” entertainment app back in November, complementing its existing food ordering and rewards app with a separate service for brand-related streaming and gaming.

Now, drawn by the irresistible lure of free food and a lot of new cow-centric content, people are flocking to download both apps, thrusting them into the top two spots on the US iOS free app store.

On Monday, the company announced the return of “Code Moo,” a digital game available only on the original Chick-fil-A app where rewards members can complete missions to win waffle fries, nuggets, and cookies, among other treats.

At the same time, the chicken chain also announced a flood of new bovine-based fun aimed at younger fans on its sister entertainment app, including “Udder Chaos,” a four-minute animated short, as well as the “Cow Tales” podcast.

Chicken? Run!

As a result, iOS downloads for both apps have soared, with “Chick-fil-A Play” clocking 103,061 downloads on Monday — almost 52% more than it managed in the 29 days before combined.

Lucid climbs after Uber revealed to be its second-largest shareholder following recent investment

Shares of luxury EV maker Lucid are up more than 7% in premarket trading on Tuesday, following the release of a regulatory filing that revealed Uber is now its second-largest shareholder, trailing only Saudi Arabia’s PIF sovereign wealth fund.

The news follows an announcement earlier this month that Uber and Lucid would expand their robotaxi partnership from 20,000 planned vehicles to 35,000. Along with the expansion, Uber also said it would invest an additional $200 million into the EV maker.

Per Monday afternoon’s filing, it seems that investment pushed Uber’s ownership stake in Lucid to 11.52%.

Lucid’s stock is down 29% in April. It hit an all-time low of $6.75 on Monday ahead of the regulatory filing becoming public.

In a mark of just how painful the slide has been for Lucid shareholders, as of Monday, the company’s market cap had dropped to a quarter of the approximately $9.5 billion that Saudi Arabia’s PIF has sunk into it.
