The Most-Talked-About iPhone Apps of 2009!
It’s that time of year again. Everyone has their own take on the best iPhone apps of 2009, and here’s ours: instead of picking our personal favorites, we’ve tapped the collective wisdom of the most respected and widely-read tech bloggers on the web. Our Most-Talked-About Apps list ranks the most noteworthy apps of the past year based on the number of times they were reviewed or otherwise written up by the blogs you trust the most.
Can’t wait to find out? Here’s the full list.
Want to know more about how we put our list together? Here’s the deal:
- We track every app review and mention from every leading tech blog worldwide (here’s the complete list of blogs we follow).
- We also allow any blogger to submit their iPhone app reviews automagically just by including our AppBack widget in their posts.
- Several times a day we recalculate our Hottest iPhone Apps list based on the volume and authority of these recent mentions.
- For our Most Talked About iPhone Apps of 2009, we looked back over the whole year to see which apps had received the most commentary since the start of the year.
- We then ranked this list by the frequency each app was mentioned, and applied a weighting to reflect the relative authority of the source.
The result is our unique ranking of the 100 iPhone apps that attracted the most attention in the past year. As always, you can filter the list by category, release date, price and average App Store rating. And to get a sense for the actual reviews that make up the score, just click on any app to view all the posts (and Tweets) we found mentioning that app.
We hope this list helps you discover a few new and noteworthy apps for your own wish list, and also shines a light on a few of your forgotten favorites from the past year.
Cheers and Happy New Year from all of us at AppStoreHQ!
Chris, Ian and Brett
