With over 1.2 million apps in the Apple App Store and more than 1 million in Android's Google Play Store, apps are more popular than ever — but which ones are people using the most?

Internet-analytics company comScore just released the 15 most popular apps used in April in the U.S., for iOS and Android, and there are few surprises.

You can see the full list of rankings below.

Facebook is in the lead, reaching 74.1% of smartphone users, meaning 74.1% of people with smartphones used the app in April. Twitter clocked in with 20.4%, suggesting that only one in five smartphone users Tweet while nearly three of every four smartphone users surf Facebook. 

YouTube leapfrogged Google Search for third place, coming in at nearly 50%.

Google Play and Apple Maps are, unsurprisingly, included in the rankings. Both are preinstalled on many Android devices and Apple phones. Smartphone users still prefer Google Maps to Apple Maps, however, though Android and Apple consumer can still choose between the two — both are available for both platforms.
