This doesn't even say what defines a "top" app. What's the indicator? Crap study.

Apple maps on top 15 and no Whatsapp ???!!?? How was this study compiled?

gamerscul9870 - April 12, 2015 at 5:50pm

Because it's that much effort put into! Admit it.

iJunk - April 12, 2015 at 6:40pm

No comments on the effort put into it. Admit - Its still the crap application compared to Google maps and Waze. and no comparison to the number of users using Whatsapp.

gamerscul9870 - April 12, 2015 at 6:52pm

No thoughts on why whatsapp wasn't on the list! Admit it! It defies junk compared to Apple and Google maps.

Breix - April 12, 2015 at 5:03am

Probably not well used enough to be included..?

Wolverinemarky - April 11, 2015 at 10:40pm

I use all except Google play and the Gmail app on my iPhone

NoGoodNick - April 11, 2015 at 9:31pm

I use 2 ... occasionally. Guess I do things others don't.

Breix - April 11, 2015 at 8:05pm

Hmmm... Instagram fell to #9...?? I was guessing it's on top 5?

Walcy - April 11, 2015 at 5:55pm

I would think that Waze and others would have been on the list

If you can't beat em piggy back! Nice job google!

gamerscul9870 - April 11, 2015 at 9:13pm

What else can possibly be as good, I mean they have no competition other than maps.

tubex45 - April 11, 2015 at 5:30pm

Google Maps vs Apple Maps, just wow!! Google rakes in 6 apps out of the top 8. the other 2 are from FB. pretty much a win for Google.

Kornmehl - April 11, 2015 at 8:32pm

Except for that fact that most of the Google apps are worthless

NoGoodNick - April 11, 2015 at 9:36pm

That's because the majority of phones sold are still Google based phones, so the default Google apps are more prevalent (especially when also found on iPhones). The key, though, isn't what are the most common apps, but which are used most often. Traditionally, Samsung devices sold more, but they were used less often (access the internet), while iPhones didn't sell as widely, but where heavily used (hence the higher data rates we were charged for it).
