The new year has begun and many people like to see what was achieved in the last year. Companies making Smartphones are collecting the information of the most downloaded apps in 2013. We know how popular applications for Smartphones are. Do you have your favorite app? IfSnapchat and Vine are among your favorite applications, then you will be happy to hear that other people like them too. They were one of the most downloaded apps in 2013. But not only Snapchat and Vine. A Candy Crush Saga is among them too.

What’s Your Most Downloaded Apps 2013?

You probably know that there is more than a 1.000.000 (yes, you read it well – more than a million!) Applications on both Google Inc’s Play Store and Apple Inc’s App Store. And the truth is that Apple developed their devices in the last few years, so many fans are absolutely crazy about Apple Smartphones. And not only Smartphones. Apple has become one of the most popular company in the world, in general. Google as well is the dominant marketplace for apps. For your information, billions of downloads are made each year and now we can say that Snapchat, Vine and Candy Crush Saga were very popular.

Now, we would like to know why are, for instance Snapchat and Vine so popular and what is the exact reason why they carry the title of most downloaded apps 2013. Craig Palli, who is working in Boston as a chief strategy officer at a mobile marketing company called Fiksu said that the most downloaded apps 2013 belong to similar categories, but they have offered “new twists”. We mustn’t forget old apps like Instagram, that is still popular. In the same category as Instagram, there are also apps for socializing on the internet – Facebook and Twitter. They are still popular apps used for communication and we can suppose their popularity will not drop off so easily, but they didn’t carry the title of the most downloaded apps 2013 like Snapchat or Vine.
So, let us see what is Snapchat about and why is it so popular now. First, let us remind that Snapchat was first a niche app. It can be used for sending photographs and videos, but the point is they disappear soon after a person views it. What a great idea! Maybe that made it so popular. The Snapchat grew rapidly and in 2013 it was so popular that many users downloaded it on a smarthpone so Snapchat entered the competition for the most downloaded apps 2013.
What about Vine? It is a video sharing app. It was the 4th most downloaded app in 2013. And it was free. This application is made for iPhone, Android, etc. Vine app allows you to share short videos. The length is under 6 seconds only, but obviously enough because users are satisfied and it is also very popular app.
