Top 7 most downloaded free iOS Apps in 2014
This top 7 free iOS apps features no games which implies that people prefer spending money on game apps rather than on any other apps.
1. Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger wins the prize for most downloaded iOS app in 2014, even though it has not won anyone’s heart. The main reason behind the huge amount of downloads is simply the fact that all of the people who used Facebook app were obliged to install the Facebook Messenger app if they wanted to still be able to message other Facebook users.
2. Snapchat
Snapchat is the second most downloaded free iOS app and for all the right reasons. Enjoy taking pictures, adding captions and then sending them to your friends! The catch is the fact that your picture will only be available for your friend to see it for a few moments, unless they decide to make a screenshot of it.
