None of the apps on this list come as a shock, either. It's highly uncommon that anyone you meet nowadays doesn't use at least one, if not all of them on a daily basis.
But what is impressive is how high TikTok has jumped in just one year. Coming from spot number 16 on last year's list, the app is now at number four. That's also no surprise, though. Back in February, the viral video app hit one billion downloads and ranked #3 in Apple's App Store.
