Ever since the
smartphones came to being, it has given rise to what is now known as the app
economy. So how does this work? Smartphones are now the new interface for
people to communicate, work and collaborate. By offering mobile apps that can
be downloaded on to these interfaces, the developers offer more utility for the
smartphone users. In return, the developers either get a new 'estate' to
display ads and monetize or they can simply make money by selling the apps at a
cost.
The most popular
interface that has given a spurt to the mobile app economy is the iPhone. The
iPhone mobile app Store is one of the fledging ecosystems of app developers and
iPhone users that have become very popular. This has now become a vicious cycle
whereby the increasing success of mobile apps in the App Store has given rise
to more and more developers’ pluging into the fray thus increasing supply while
reducing the overall quality of apps.
So, which are those
best mobile apps that people actually find useful on their iPhones? Since there
are potentially several thousands of these apps, they can be rather studied by
the categories they belong to. According to a recent study of the best mobile
apps, here are the results
1. News: 11
2. Reference: 10.7
3. Weather: 10.5
4. Books: 10.0
5. Lifestyle: 8
