In a world of advancing technology, it seems as if there is an "app" for just about everything imaginable today. With over 500,000+ apps and counting it is easy to see why it is a cherished feat to be named in the top five in a league of so many. In determining what makes an app download-worthy, most consumer had one similar resonating feature: the ability to make life easier in a specific focus. The notion of the term easy varies from facilitating a process to passing time in a down period of the day. The following article will list the top 5 downloaded applications and discuss the rationale for their popularity.
Coming in at number 5, Skype is a communication application that has revolutionized the way both video and/or long distance conversations take place. Popularized by the computer platform with the same call sign, Skype first introduced the way to make video communication possible via an internet stream. While many forms of this concept have been developed in the past, the user friendly and cost effective nature of this application led its stride to the top. Extending its talents to true portable communication, Skype released its "app" version of the software which allows callers to simply use data to connect to contacts, sparing the user of minute usage via their cellular carrier. In addition, nationwide video conferencing is free of charge. Cutting costs for a common task like cellular communication is a clear indication of why this app has gained such popularity.
Number 4 is represented by a game that has gained a cult following ever since its release. Boasting the name "Angry Birds Free," this application consists of a limited number of levels from the full version that gives a user just enough action to be hooked and purchase the full version. The game consists of an arsenal of birds that carry unique combat traits, leading to the eventual demise of bovine like enemies that are housed in forts of various materials. When hurled via the user controlled slingshot, the birds wreak havoc on the surrounding structure and eventually overcome the pigs on the opposite end. Once 10 minutes are spent conquering the opponent, it is easy to see why this application has gained so much praise.
Even more addicting than the previous game, "Words With Friends," comes in at number 3. Much like the ever so popular game Scrabble, Words With Friends is an electronic board game that allows users to compete against fellow players in an attempt to create the highest scoring words using letters assigned randomly to each user. The ability to invite friends and compete with one another on a level playing field has created a craze that ignites the competitive nature of even the most cordial individuals.
When a certain song or artists describes the genre of music a listener would like to hear without selecting specific titles, Pandora radio comes to the rescue and lands the number 2 spot for 2011. The app is driven by a program that analyzes the type of music the user desires and subsequently creates a streaming playlist free of charge to the user. Whether you are planning a last minute party, or simply want some music to listen to while studying or at work; Pandora accommodates. The playlists are customizable by artist, song title, or album title and an unlimited number of stations can be created at the touch of your screen. Popularized by the computer edition of the same application, this portable version allows the invaluable aspect of mobility. An immediate fan favorite, Pandora continues to be a chart topper.
With little surprise, the year's top prize is the social networking empire known simply as Facebook. Arguably one of the most addicting programs created in the last decade, Facebook is a social networking giant that allows users to maintain connections with various individuals they have met throughout their life. The main page also allows users to keep up with postings and messages that their friends post. Once a user is truly enveloped in Facebook greatness, it is clear why they would need a real time update to what is going on in their circle of friends at all times. Facebook responded to this demand and, in turn, created the most popular application of the year. When looking back over the last decade, it is easy to see how many analysts are saying that Facebook is taking over the world - literally.

I have been reviewing and blogging about the iPhone since its inception in 2007. Since that time I have actively responded to and published articles that featured key innovations and niche settings regarding the iPhone device. In response to a high demand, I later founded a internet repair company that focused on cracked iPhone and iPod Touch screens. I have continued to focus my attention to the newest innovations from the Apple company and continue to stay informed on their products, with the iPhone being my main interest.
