2010
● Two years into the App Store, and at the beginning
of App Annie supplying the industry's most trusted
data, social and communication apps such as
Facebook, Skype and Twitter topped the
worldwide download charts for apps excluding
Games. Facebook has been among the top 10
most downloaded apps in every subsequent year.
● WhatsApp Messenger was a top consumer-spend-
generating app in 2010 (at the time they charged
a $0.99 upfront fee). In 2010, approximately 10%
of all app downloads on the iOS App Store were
paid. Year-to-date in 2018, less than 1% of
downloads have been paid.
● Talking Tom Cat, an Entertainment app from
Outfit 7, was the most downloaded app in 2010.
This began a decade of success for Outfit 7, and
their apps have subsequently been downloaded
more than 7 billion times globally.Note:

downloads following its release in October of the
previous year. By 2012, the year in which it was
acquired by Facebook, Instagram would become
the most downloaded app globally.
● Bump — an award winning app that allowed users
to share contacts and photos by bumping devices

2012
● With the release of iOS 6.0, YouTube no longer
came pre-installed on new iPhones. In 2012, a newly
released standalone version quickly became the
second most downloaded app of the year — a
powerful demonstration of mobile’s future promise
as a video streaming platform.
● Dating apps Badoo and Zoosk became top
consumer-spend-generating apps in 2012. Over the
coming years, they were joined by the likes of
Tinder, Grindr and Lovoo to make Dating one of the
most lucrative app categories.
● MLB At Bat launched in 2012 with a range of
innovative features. Subscription payments for
streamed content allowed it to quickly become a
top grossing app, and as of May 2018 it remained
the most used sports league app in the world.

$10 billion in consumer spend for the first time.
● Pandora Music hit the number 1 spot for
consumer spend in 2013. Pandora blazed a trail
for a music industry that has increasingly adopted
the mobile platform. In 2017, apps in the Music
category on the iOS App Store alone generated
more than $1 billion in worldwide consumer spend.
● Snapchat began its meteoric rise, appearing in the
top 10 for the first time since its 2011 release.

2014

number 1 spot by downloads following its
unbundling from the main Facebook app.
Facebook Messenger and Facebook remained
in the number 1 and 2 spots, respectively, until
2017.
● Apple Pay was made available for the first time
in 2014. Within 3 days of the launch, 1 million
credit cards were registered with Apple Pay.
Mobile devices continue to grow in importance
as a personal financial hub. Worldwide in 2017,
there were over 1.4 billion app downloads from
the Finance category on the iOS App Store.

market by both downloads and consumer spend.

services we use.
● Chinese streaming giant iQIYI broke into the top
10 apps by spend for the first time in 2016. So far

form video platform and social network from
China, has leapt to the number 1 spot by global
downloads. Tik Tok allows users to create and
share their own short music videos and recently
announced it had more than 150 million daily
users in mainland China alone.
● Netflix sustained its number 1 spot for iOS App
Store consumer spend to start off 2018, in part
driven by its continued international expansion.
● Each year has brought new iPhones, new OS
updates and new in-demand apps. What remains
constant in 2018 is mobile being at the center of
our lives – bringing us entertainment, connecting
us to work and friends, facilitating romance,
playing our favorite music and navigating us to
new places. The iOS App Store has brought
unparalleled digital access to millions of people
around the world and will continue to enhance our
lives as we head into its 11th year and beyond.
