Top 10 Most Popular Mobile Games on the App Store

**We compiled this list using the current top five paid games and the top five free games on the Apple App Store**

Minecraft

Most Popular Mobile Games

It’s no surprise that Minecraft continues to be one of the best-selling pieces of entertainment out there, considering it’s available to play on pretty much every game system under the sun. Minecraft on mobile has been updated plenty of times, almost putting it on the same level as its console counterparts.

You can now play with friends with the Better Together update that lets you explore multiplayer servers with your friends over all kinds of devices. You can build your dream world, delve into the depths for the rarest of minerals, survive in the middle of the night, and just have a blast playing on your mobile device.

Fortnite

Most Popular Mobile Games

Since the uber-popular battle royale game has come to the mobile world, people still can’t seem to get enough. Fortnite is one of the top free games on the App Store at the moment and even though the title takes a bit of a graphical hit, it still retains the same 100-player PvP experience that players know and love from the console and PC versions.

Epic Games continues to support the multiplayer-centric game with huge events and updates, pulling people back into the game just when you think that things could not get more interesting. The Thanos event, for example, that is available for consoles and PC that lets you play as the Infinity Gauntlet wielding villain, is also available to play on the mobile version of Fortnite.

Heads Up!

Most Popular Mobile Games

For just one whole dollar, you can purchase the paid version of Heads Up! on the Apple App Store, which is the best dollar that you can spend. If you have any downtime or find yourself in some boring situation like waiting in a line at a theme park or sitting around with friends doing nothing, then Heads Up! is the perfect quick game to play with a group of people.

The basic premise is charades – the main player has to hold the phone to their head while the other participants act out and try to portray what is shown on the app. There are different categories to choose from, such as actors, foods, animals, musicians, and types of dance moves. You can even create your own categories if you so choose, like video games or even people that are in your group of friends, which can make for some pretty entertaining situations.

Bloons TD (Tower Defense) 5

Most Popular Mobile Games

One of the best, wackiest, tower defense games available on the app store as of this moment is none other than Bloons TD 5. Build towers, upgrade until your heart’s content, and defeat all of the Bloons who seek to wreak havoc on your territory.

Bloons TD 5 has loads of content for you to play through, and with over 250 missions, multiple game modes, over 50 tracks, and a wide variety of towers to build, Bloons will keep you busy for hours on end. Just don’t get too invested in the wrong places, you don’t want to miss your number being called at the DMV.

Pocket Build

Most Popular Mobile Games

Pocket Build lets you use your imagination to its full extent by allowing you to build the fantasy world of your dreams. Pocket Build gives you access to hundreds of different items to choose from. Want to build a castle town? Or just a quiet, small village where the citizens get along all the time and never seem to be nothing but happy with their small-town lives? You can pretty much build whatever you want in Pocket Build all from your mobile device – how amazing is that? Instead of other games like Minecraft that focus on combat as well as exploration and crafting, Pocket Build is simply about, you guessed it, building.

If the massive world of Minecraft seems a bit threatening or over-powering, then Pocket Build might be the app for you.

Love Balls

Most Popular Mobile Games

Love Balls tells a sweet and somber story about two different-colored balls who are only trying to meet up and fall in love forever, but they must be pushed together using lines and shapes – it’s truly tragic. This simple puzzle game provides hours of fun and there are even new levels added weekly if you end up getting addicted to beating your high scores and challenging friends to conquer your records. The title is free on the app store and it’s also probably a way better love story than Twilight, so make sure you get on this as soon as you can.

Rise Up

Most Popular Mobile Games

Rise Up is as simple as any other endless runner-type game that is available on the app store but the addiction of trying to get past 1000 is there and it is present. Control your balloon with your finger and attempt to avoid obstacles and get as high as you can. It’s one of those games that will have you passing your phone around to your best buddies whilst saying, “hey, bet you can’t get past my score!” And then your friend beats your high score and you blame the lag or the advertisements or the fact that your fingers are fatter than his and you scream internally until this whole interaction repeats itself. Rise Up should be taken very seriously, balloons popping is no joke – have you been to a kids birthday party? It’s very frightening.

Helix Jump

Most Popular Mobile Games

Helix Jump is about a little bouncy ball that is just trying to get to the end of this infinite tower but there are some pesky little platforms in the way and that’s where the player comes in. Using your finger to move the platforms out of the way, the goal is to guide the ball downwards, making sure it doesn’t hit anything. It’s actually one of the most addicting games that you will ever play and it’s only played with one finger, how simple is that?

Weave the Line

Most Popular Mobile Games

For the creative, puzzle-loving mobile game fans out there, Weave the Line is one of those games that will help you ease your mind and forget about those unpaid electric bills that you worry so much about. With over 250 levels, Weave the Line has you dragging lines to create intricate shapes and designs that will have your brain buzzing with thinking juice. The relaxing music and the simple yet addicting puzzles will keep you coming back for more.

Plague Inc.

Most Popular Mobile Games

From the looks of things, Plague Inc. looks a lot like other strategy mobile games that have you in charge of the entirety of the planet, perhaps trying to save the world from a deadly plague or zombie infection. In Plague Inc. however, you are tasked with the complete opposite; you must kill billions and eventually infect the whole world in order to achieve victory – insane right?

The highly addictive strategy and multitasking gameplay will leave you wanting more, and in this case will lead you to utter annihilation of your planet. There isn’t better way to pass the time than to infect the human population with a deadly virus.
