The top apps downloaded in 2019
The top apps downloaded in 2019
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.” 🙌
Need to have cities in your mockups? Use this library of illustrated and animated cities (from around the world) in your designs. 🌉
If your AI product has an onboarding step that says "tell us about your business" — your users are lying to you. Not maliciously. They just write whatever sounds good in the moment, skip half the fields, and click next.
Brandfetch's Brand Context API gives you structured brand data for 50M+ brands in a single call: voice,mission, positioning, audience, competitors, all of it. Pre-fill your onboarding before the user types a word.
Ground your AI features so they stop hallucinating about the brands your LLM barely knows. It's the scraping pipeline most teams never get around to building, already built. 100 free calls, no credit card.
