Every year you get to witness a new trend, setting records and breaking the internet. Don’t you think now Netflix is more popular than ever? Similarly, once upon a time, ‘candy crush’ was everyone’s favorite, but in 2020 people are obsessing over Pub-G and call of duty. Thus, with time, old apps fade away and get replaced by new ones. So, if you want to keep yourself up to date, let us take you through all the apps that are trending in 2020.
Video Streaming App – Netflix
Netflix is not a new invention; it has been there since 1997. It has always been a market leader in the video streaming industry, but in 2020, it got the highest number of downloads. Perhaps, due to the variety of content on the app or because of the current pandemic. Even though the app is paid, it has more than 1 million subscribers. It is offering different packages, the basic one for as low as $9 to accommodate the maximum number of users.
Storage App – Google Drive
Usually, people run low on storage, and everyone wants free apps to store data. Google drive is an ideal way to store 15 GB of data without paying a penny. However, you need to have a Google account for this purpose. Alongside storage, it gives access to slides, excel sheets, and docs. However, if you don’t want to jumble up your files with photos, then there is a separate app for storing pictures – ‘Google Photos.’ Surprisingly, even the IOS users are enjoying Google drive since iCloud only offers free storage up to 5 GB.
Best Gaming App – Call of Duty
Call of duty is a video game that received 100 million downloads right after one week of its release, breaking all records. It is because they used social media for marketing since it is the best way to get app downloads. There have been many games introduced like this before, but they failed to use android app marketing tools. Well, call of duty became popular before the release since makers broke the news beforehand to achieve the maximum number of downloads. It offers exceptional graphics and gaming tools that is keeping users hooked to it.
Productivity App – Any.do
This app is more like a virtual planner on your smartphones. It is a lot more than an app for taking notes only; it allows you to assign tasks to yourself with deadlines. For instance – if you have to prepare a financial report by Friday 6:00 P.M, create a slot, set a deadline, and you are good to go. You will receive reminders about the approaching deadline, helping you keep a check-in balance of your progress. Besides, it is also compatible with other apps. If you don’t feel like opening the app and creating a task, you can also ask Alexa to do it for you.
Video Conferencing App – Zoom
It is one of the best video conferencing apps available out there. Initially, Skype came up with the idea of video chats, but zoom became the market leader by providing better services. It allows screen sharing with a large number of people with high-quality audio and video. In 2020, people are working and taking classes from home, increasing the app downloads. It is compatible with every software and device, improving accessibility for the users. All colleges and universities are offering classes through this app since the ‘host’ gets control over participants. Thus, due to an easy user experience, this app is trending in 2020.
Managing App – Mint
Previously, everyone used to keep a diary to manage finances; this is too last year. Mobile applications like mint are allowing you to manage your finances by tapping your fingers on the screen. It has complex and simple money management tools, allowing you to make monthly budgets and record transactions. Sometimes, people have a long list of expenses for which they can also create categories on this app. You also have an option to connect all your bank accounts with the app to make automatic payments.
Shopping App – Instacart
Instacart is an online grocery service app, working with local stores to deliver at your doorsteps. People are performing social distancing due to which the popularity of this app has increased in 2020. It is a very quick delivery service app because you get all your groceries within half an hour.
GPS App – Waze
Even though smartphones have built-in maps, but Waze is the most trending app in 2020. It is a GPS driven app that guides you through the shortest route to reach the destination. Alongside helping you find directions, it lets you escape the traffic jams by informing you beforehand. At the same time, it updates you about all nearby activities – accidents, construction, and also the fellow drivers using Waze. Just like every other app, it is free of cost, so that you can download it easily.
