Apple Reveals Best Selling Apps
Apple is celebrating the 5-year anniversary of the App Store by making a number of top apps free and revealing the best-selling apps of all time.
The apps which have been made free are some of the more expensive on the store and include big names such as Infinity Blade 2 and Where’s My Water. The first free apps, which appeared yesterday, seem to have been discounted either by or in partnership with Apple themselves, but numerous other apps have since gone free independently. No time frame has been given for the impromptu sale so you best download the ones you want quickly. The full list of free apps can be found on TECH TOLA.
Along with the free apps apple have celebrated the App Store Anniversary by revealing the top selling apps of all time. The list, which has never been publicly available before, is generally quite predictable with Angry Birds featuring prominently along with Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope. Three of the top 10 paid iPhone apps were Angry Birds titles, and three of the top 10 paid iPad apps were the same Angry Birds titles but in HD. Somewhat surprisingly there is a distinct lack of games in both of the free charts, only three games feature in the free iPad chart and only two on iPhone. All 4 charts can be seen below.
