Firstly, when discussing the best apps of all time it is important to recognize, which category of apps we want to consider.
There are a multitude of apps that can be deemed the “best apps of all time,“ from free apps, cooking apps, sport apps, social media apps and educational apps to photography apps – in reality the list is never ending. This review is going to focus on the best apps of all time in regards to the social media realm.

These three apps have all been in the top charts for the best apps of all time as witnessed throughout articles such as (http://www.businessinsider.com/100-best-apps-for-iphone-and-android-2013-9?op=1) and what’s best is that these three apps are all free and creators have stated that they will remain free forever. All these apps create communication and positively benefit people’s lives on a day-to-day basis. With the app industry being a multi-billion dollar market it is no doubt that someday these best apps of all time will be replaced by a new trendier social networking app but for the time being these three are at the top.
