As 2019 nears its end, Apple has published the list of its most popular apps on the App Store during 2019. Any guesses which apps made the list?
The end any year brings with it tons of analyses on any number of things, looking back at the year that has passed, and perhaps even using that information to foresee trends in the coming year. True to form, Apple has announced the list of the best and most popular apps on its App Store during 2019.
“Developers around the world inspire us all with innovative apps that have the power to influence culture and change our lives, and this year that is as true as ever. The 2019 App Store Best Apps and Games winners reflect our global desire for connection, creativity, and fun,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
