This is what I see when I view the “Top Free” apps in Apple’s App Store. I’m making a million and one assumptions, but there is some truth in this.
- OSX – they like to stay up-to-date
- Kindle – Apple lost the ebook war
- Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) – Mac users still need Windows regularly
- Xcode – there are a lot of developers on Macs
- Unarchiver – I really don’t get this, do people really need to uncompress more than just zip files?
- Slack – IRC is dead and businesses are using Instant Messengers more
- Instagram – people spend too much time on social media, is Twitter and Facebook not enough?
- ooVoo – Facetime isn’t doing so well, maybe? or maybe there are a lot of Android users on OSX (I’m one of them)
- MS OneNote – people still choose to use Microsoft
- MS OneDrive – people still choose to use Microsoft
- Solitaire – people still want an app that came with Windows 3.1
- Evernote – Apple’s Notes app isn’t cutting it
