Unsurprisingly, the top of the free apps chart is dominated by social apps. Facebook is the most downloaded free app, followed by Pandora Radio, Instagram, YouTube and Skype.
But Imangi Studios' Temple Run occupies the #9 spot, while the free versions of Words with Friends, Angry Birds, Draw Something, Fruit Ninja and Pac-Man all stand out among the social, video and map apps, too.
Premium pricing
Games dominate the top 25 paid apps list, meanwhile, occupying 21 of the available slots.
Predictably, Angry Birds takes the top spot, while Angry Birds Seasons is at #5, Angry Birds Space is at #10 and Angry Birds Star Wars is at #18.
Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja is the second most popular paid app, Lima Sky's Doodle Jump is third, and Chillingo/ZeptoLab's Cut the Rope is fourth.
It's worth noting that Apple's lists appear to be regional. As such, while these may be the most downloaded apps in the US App Store, other regions will contain variations.
In the UK App Store, for instance, WhatsApp Messenger beats Angry Birds to pole position as the top paid app of all time.
