inally this week, iTunes' charts have changed up a bit.  Now that we've got new stuff to talk about, let's get right to it. Here's this week's most-downloaded apps, as well as a few of our favorites.


paid Paid Apps.

Paid Apps
Still hanging on to the top spot is Bad Piggies, the Angry Birds spinoff. Following it is He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe. In this game, you take on the role of He-Man and defend Castle Greyskull against Skeletor. In third is the ever-so-boring but apparently useful WhatsApp Messenger, and in fourth is PlagueInc, which appears on the list most likely due to Halloween coming up. In fifth place, we have Toca Tailor, a virtual-paper-doll game app.

The free apps have mixed up a bit too. YouTube still takes the top spot, but Bubble Galaxy is in second place. Contract Killer 2 is in third place, and Podcasts remains on the charts in fourth place. Finally, curiosity kills the cat as Weird But True by National Geographic Society comes in fifth place.  This app is your go-to source for, well, weird but true facts.

Our Favorites
Songza
When you don't feel like curating your own playlists, Songza's got your back. This free app not only gives you a choice of their premade playlists but also playlists created by other users. Choose themes like "Still Waking up," "Working Out," "Pre-gaming with Friends," and "Eating Dinner," depending on the time of day (and actual day—Friday night playlists aren't the same as Monday night ones).

This is just an entertaining one, lest you think we take things like astrology super-seriously. The intriguing thing about this app versus some other ones is that this one almost always applies to things we have going on at the time in our lives. Coincidence? Probably. Still, it's free and fun.
