Games Get Most Downloads By iPhone. iPad. and iPod Touch Users (LIST)

Apple says games get the most downloads by iOS users, according to USA Today.

The company released its top 25 download apps—both paid and free—as the App Store gets closer to 50 billion downloads.

Fifteen of the 25 apps most downloaded by iPad users were games. Out of those numbers five of the top six were games. On the list of free apps, seven are games.

For the iPhone 21 of the top 25 paid apps are games and for the free apps six are games.

Among the games is the “Angry Birds” franchise. In addition to the original “Angry Birds”, the game’s successors, “Angry Birds Seasons” and “Angry Birds Space”, are also popular.

Despite the immense success that games for Apple devices have had, they cannot compete with social networking. Facebook was the most downloaded free app for the iPhone and the “WhatsApp” Messenger was the most downloaded paid app. Instagram and YouTube were in the top five.

For the iPad, the word processing app “Pages” took home the top spot for the paid category.
