We mostly come across articles presenting new and interesting apps that are making things all the more connected and remotely available. However, they tend to fall into a specified niche. Today we will break the routine and discuss the most common apps being used around the world.
There are two billion active Android users and 1.4 billion active iOS users globally, who are altogether utilizing these apps daily. Surely, we are not going to include the apps that come by default like Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, etc. Rather we have conducted proper research and utilized AndroidRank’s data to present authentic statistics.
Uber
Uber is the world’s greatest and leading cab service app that is being utilized by 8 million people across 70 different countries. This particular app has made cab service readily available to all. Not only that, even a common man owning a car can now earn a good livelihood just by getting his/her vehicle registered through the app. The app facilitates cabbies and gets them rides nearest to their current location. Neither the cabbies need to wait for passengers at designated places nor do the passengers have to walk up to the corner of the block to get a cab. In addition to this, the app has made the payment process quite easy and simple. You can pay either in cash or through credit and debit card in case you could not hit the ATM on your way to an important meeting.
The Uber app is available on both Android and iOS.
Instagram – A social media platform based on visual content is the new sensation. The app started back in 2010 but is continuously growing. Experts consider Instagram to be a more powerful platform than Facebook and Twitter. An interesting fact, which supports this remark, is an Instagram post receives 58 times more engagement than on Facebook and 120 times more than that on Twitter. Marketers are adopting Instagram rapidly because of its wide organic reach and precise targeting capabilities.
Netflix
Netflix – an app that requires no introduction now. It is cutting down on the market share of cable & dish TV with its readily available high-quality content. The best thing about the Netflix series is it does not release episodes every week like regular TV channels rather they release the whole series at once, and make the audience hook up until the end. This app is a subscription-based video streaming platform with a tasteful library. Forbes reported that Netflix gained 5.2 million users on top of the 2 million existing subscribers in the second quarter of 2017. It is expected to grow more and is predicted to acquire 3.2 million new users.
You do need to have a strong internet connection, however, to enjoy Netflix at its best. If you are located in Alabama, then Spectrum is the safest bet for you. Spectrum internet is considered reliable and effective. They provide great speed at economical prices with uncompromised consistency. I would suggest you check their bundle deals and promotions.
Spotify
Spotify is a prominent music streaming app with several unique features. Spotify was introduced to a limited number of people back in 2008 but gained popularity due to its efficiency and wide variety in the music collection. In 2011, Spotify was launched in the US and now it is reported to be utilized in 61 countries. The app also offers free and premium subscriptions. Premium subscription removes ads so that the users can enjoy music without any disturbance. Spotify has successfully become the largest music streaming app.
Pocket is another handy app that allows you to save and share videos, images, emails, etc. It allows you to manage the stuff you need to view or read later. The app allows its users to download things in a clean, effective, and secure manner. The best thing about the app is that it also provides voice assistance and reads out the items for you. Additionally, it enables you to share articles with other Pocket users along with your comments and suggests material to read in accordance with your previous searches.
Airbnb
Airbnb is the most popular and effective booking app that allows you to book hotels, guesthouses, hostels, apartments, etc. If you are planning a vacation then this app is a must-have. You can find yourself the most amazing and economical places to stay at.
The best thing about this app is it allows anyone to put up their space for rent. If you have a spare room in your house, you can put it up for rent for tourists, students, and other people visiting your area. Airbnb has built a strong, integrated, and user-friendly persona that has made it an extremely reliable place for bookings.
Final words
The afore-discussed six apps are not just casual apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, and Skype but are used widely all across the globe. These apps have continued to grow and acquire new subscribers every single day.
