The BlackBerry® App World™ storefront turned three years old this week. It’s generated more than 2 billion downloads since launch and now has over 70,000 apps in the catalog. And while we’re very proud of the work that has gone into BlackBerry App World, we’re especially appreciative of the tens of thousands of developers that have and continue to create apps for the BlackBerry platform. To celebrate the milestone, we wanted to share with you the list for the most popular paid apps since Blackberry App World debuted back in 2009. Whatever you have been doing with your BlackBerry® smartphone, these apps have been there to give you a personal touch, provide some fun, and of course, keep you connected.

Here are some of the top apps purchased on BlackBerry App World over the last three years:
