The document discusses the top 10 free iPhone apps of 2011 according to a TechRadar source. Most of the top apps are either social media platforms like Facebook or utilities that provide helpful information to users like news apps. These types of apps are popular because they help users socialize or stay informed, fulfilling important needs. The document also notes that successful apps generally have intuitive menus and layouts and reasonable or free pricing structures.

3. What makes these apps
successful?
As you can see there is no games in the top
10 and they are either helpful information
or socializing websites. People like these
because it helps them or entertains them
which at least one needs to be in an app.
People like to be informed on either the
latest news or the latest gossip and these
apps give easy access to that.

4. Style of the apps?
Most of the apps that I looked at have the
same layout as each other with a menu
at the bottom, actual app taking most of
the screen and date, time battery life etc.
at the top.

5. Price of apps
The price of apps can be a range of
different prices and are usually a fair price,
some apps are also free which also makes
them successful on the market.

6. Facebook
Facebook is an online socializing website which is
very popular worldwide and was only available on
the browser until they made the app which takes
you directly to the Facebook website and is easy to
navigate.
