Personal emojis, streaming music and video, maps and shopping are among the most popular app choices

Apple recently released its year-end list of top US apps for iPhones and iPads. The apps Apple chose are the most popular of the year, meaning they are the apps that consistently topped the free apps chart in the App Store. While Facebook and Snapchat made it to the list, they didn’t feature in the top 10.

Google Maps
With Google Maps, you are never lost. You can rely on this mapping mobile app for real-time GPS navigation, traffic, transit, and details about millions of places. Its unique features include Street View, indoor imagery for restaurants, museums etc, and offline support.

Instagram
This one is the winner among all photo (and video) sharing apps. It lets you follow friends, family and celebrities around the world and express yourself by sharing all the moments of your day.

Gmail
The most popular email app, Gmail is easy to use and promises to keep all your messages safe. Apart from an organised inbox, spam detection and 15 GB of free space, it also lets you use both Gmail and non-Gmail addresses.

YouTube
From your favourite music videos to what’s trending in gaming, entertainment and more, YouTube is a must-have app in all smartphones. Its new design has made navigating your favourite channels, editing and uploading videos and sharing them in multiple platforms easily.

Amazon
This online shopping app lets you compare and shop millions of original products, often accompanied by discounts. All purchases are routed through Amazon’s servers, protecting your payment and order information.

SoundCloud
With 150 million tracks and growing, SoundCloud is one of the largest music and audio streaming platforms. It has a community of artists and musicians who are constantly uploading new music.

It’s another online app for shopping trending items in Europe and North America. Wish lets users browse through millions of products, refine search, access user reviews and photos, and attractive deals.

Waze
Waze keeps you in the know about traffic and street updates, police and accident alerts in the US. It also supports voice to navigate and lets users find the cheapest fuel station along one’s route.

Bitmoji
We love cartoons. More so our own expressive cartoon avatars. Not surprisingly, Bitmoji is at the top of the app chart this year. It lets you create your personal emoji from a huge library of stickers — all featuring ‘you’.

Spotify
Spotify is considered one of the best ways to listen to high-quality music on mobile and wireless devices. It boasts of a huge library and lets you search for any track, artist or album, make a playlist and listen for free.
