The 26 Best Apps of All Time for Android, iPhone and iPad
Since we are dealing with apps 24/7 here at Knicket, we see a few standing out from the crowd. Are these really the best ones of all time? Well … at least they deserve to get not only mentioned but awarded. Some of them changed our way of thinking and truly improved our daily life. Others added a fair amount of fun or invented new ways of gaming.
Apps like Google Search, Facebook, Kayak and Amazon are inventory on most phones. So we have decided to award apps that add to these standards and might get also to be just like good friends on your phone. Why 26 apps? Because the average user has 26 apps on his phone. So these apps are all you need.
When new awesome apps pop up this list might change again, but that´s our list for now (prices as of January 2014). We suppose you like playing games and have kids because we also chose a few apps related to that.
