But after that, the rest is dominated by Google.<\/p>\n<p>In ranking order, the list follows Google Search, Google Play, YouTube, Gmail, Instagram, [Apple] Maps, Stocks and Twitter. Look closely, and you&#8217;ll spot that five of top ten smartphone apps for 2013 are from Google.<\/p>\n<p>Nielsen concluded the study stating that 51% of smartphone market in the United States is dominated by Android while Apple&#8217;s iOS has a market share of 41%. The list of top 10 smartphone apps further shows us that Google also wins in Apple&#8217;s iOS territory by having Google Search, YouTube, Google Maps and Gmail as top smartphone apps. (Google Play is not in this list because iOS users don&#8217;t need Google Play.)<\/p>\n<p>We eagerly look forward to a new year to see how the smartphone market is shaped.
