Top 5 free iPhone apps used by Caribbean people

What a difference a year makes!  Last year June, we updated our findings of most downloaded free software applications (apps) for the Apple iPhone in the Caribbean. In this article, we update those findings. Again, these apps would have been downloaded from the Apple Store, and the data collected was drawn from a number of sources, such as iOSappstats and App Annie, as at 21 Aprl 2016.

Thereafter, they disappear.
