Six Years of the Most Popular Apps in One Infographic
Due AppAnnie.com and the poster To Reddit IrwinRSchyster1 , we now have a visual journey through memory lane applications for six years with infographics showing the most popular applications every year from 2012 to 2017.
It looks like Minecraft has maintained a fairly consistent popularity among Android and iPhone users since 2013 in terms of purchases and downloads, but what happened to Facebook on the iPhone? (Perhaps at least last year, all of these users were too busy checking out Super Mario Run. And with yesterday’s highly anticipated update and up to 50% off, that’s not likely to change.)
You can also track the rise and fall of various social media and streaming platforms – scroll down and you start to notice Spotify replacing Pandora, YouTube becoming a mainstay, and Snapchat making its way to the leading social platforms alongside Facebook and Instagram. It’s almost enough to make you nostalgic for the simpler days when the Angry Birds obsession was an ongoing national issue.
