It really goes to show that in this digital world, Australians are relying more and more on their smartphones!

It may surprise you that approximately 89% of the time spent using smartphones is on mobile apps. With over 1.3 million apps on the iOS App Store, you may be wondering what apps are the most popular? Which app categories do people use the most?

That’s what we want to share with you today! We’re going to give you an insight into smartphone app usage!

Top App Categories

According to the 2014 Annual Report from App Annie, the top app category for iOS devices is Games. That means the majority of people are using their smartphones to download games. The top downloaded games worldwide were Candy Crush Saga, Subway Surfers, My Talking Tom, Farm Heroes Saga and Clash of Clans.

Following Games, the next highest categories were Entertainment and Photo & Video.

Coming in fourth was Social Networking – which is home to the top apps worldwide (excluding games). These top apps include the likes of Facebook Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Skype.

In fact, this is where our app Like It? Find It! fits in. Our app is classified as a social networking app because it aims to create a community of like-minded people who work together to find a solution and help others out.

The next highest ranked categories were lifestyle, utilities, music, productivity, education and travel – respectively.

App Usage And Engagement

Although the top categories indicate that games and entertainment are the most popular types of apps, the actual usage and engagement for app categories differs. According to the App Annie report for 2015, apps are primarily used as forms of communication and social media.

These two categories have an incredibly high level of engagement from smartphone users around the globe, as well as a large amount of time spent using them. Apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp and LINE are among the most used app for this year so far.

There are also a range of trends developing in app usage, including the increased usage of travel & transport sharing apps such as Uber, mobile video streaming apps such as Netflix and music apps such as Spotify and Shazam.
