We love end of the year lists. So obviously we were excited (giddy) to dig into Apple’s Top Charts of 2019, aka a series of lists on the App Store that highlight the most downloaded apps this year. 👀
Many familiar apps topped the “free” chart, including YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Messenger, Gmail, Netflix, Facebook and Google Maps, Amazon, DoorDash, WhatsApp, FaceApp, Uber, YOLO, Hulu, Venmo, Bitmoji and Google Chrome.
Among the top paid apps sat
Facetune,
AutoSleep Track Sleep,
Touch Retouch,
Procreate Pocket,
Sky Guide,
Scanner Pro,
kirakira+,
Forest,
Camera+ 2,
WaterMinder and
Things 3, among others.
Apple also highlighted the app trend of the year, which was storytelling. These apps — things like
Anchor,
Wattpad,
Unfold (which Squarespace
recently bought),
Steller,
Canva and
Spark Camera — inspired people record their “memories, dreams, images and voices” more than ever before. 🗣
And of course we’d be remiss if we didn’t shout out the
app of the year, which one Product Hunt member described as an “instant buy.” 🙌
