2. Angry Birds
1: Gaming- Angry Birds
Angry Birds, produced by the games company, Rovio
Entertainment, is widely regarded as one of the most popular
and best selling apps ever made, with over 12 million copies
purchased from the app store. The addictiveness comes from
its simplicity, each level consisting of a building containing pigs
that must be knocked down in order to defeat the pigs. The
further the player progresses, the harder the levels. The game
has also received numerous spinoffs in recent years, both
within the angry birds universe and completely separate from
it altogether.
The paid version of Angry Birds costs 99 Cents, however there
is also a free version.

Four university students at Stanford University

users to take photos, record videos, add text or
drawing, and send them to a recipient, shortly
afterwhich they are deleted from the recipients
device. It has proven popular as a substitute for
traditional text based chatting applications, such
as facebook. Snap chat is a free app.

share articles with others and edit what news they
