Here are the 4 most downloaded Android and iOS apps of 2015

The release of iOS 9 and Marshmallow helped make 2015 a great year for iPhone and Android users.

New apps for the operating systems ranged from photography apps that will make your pictures look professional to travel apps that help you make better decisions about when to book a flight.

Apple published its annual Best of 2015 apps from the App Store, naming Twitter-owned Periscope as the No. 1 App of the Year, while "Tomb Raider" spinoff "Lara Croft GO" landed on the top spot for Game of the Year.

Enlight and free stock trading app Robinhood were chosen as runner-ups for App of the Year.

Check out some of the other most downloaded iOS and Android apps that were released in 2015:

Periscope (iOS, Android)

The popular live video platform has surpassed 10 million installs for both Android and iOS as of August 2015, and has been named App of the Year on iTunes.

"We wanted to build a teleportation device," Periscope co-founder and CEO Kayvon Beykpour told USA Today.

"We wanted you to see the natural wonders of the world from the comfort of your couch. We want you to feel like you're there."

Released on March 26, 2015, Periscope saw over 40 years of video watched per day, according to the app's Time Watched graph — the combined amount of time users spend watching live broadcasts on iOS and Android.

Enlight (iOS, Android)

Enlight sold over 1.5 million units — most downloads costing around $3.99 each — since it launched last March, a Lightricks spokesperson told the Daily News.

The all-in-one mobile photography app has a 4.5 average user rating both in the U.S. and internationally.

Enlight has reached the top of the charts at No. 1 overall paid rank (not in the photo and video category) of over 120 different countries — including the U.K., Canada, Australia, Greece, France, Japan and China.

Hopper (iOS, Android)

The airfare prediction app surpassed 1.5 million downloads since it was released on the App Store last January.

The Android version of Hopper has over 230,000 downloads since it was launched on Google Play, a company spokesperson told the News.

It has a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from 1,835 user reviews on iTunes.

Hopper has consistently been in the top 20 apps in the travel category.

It's currently ranked No. 17 in travel, but has made it as high up as No. 5 putting it among the ranks of Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb, according to the spokesperson.

Z Camera (Android)

This photography app by Chinese company Zero Team reached more than 8.5 million installs since it was released on the Google Play store in February.

Z Camera has been dubbed as the best photography app of 2015 on Google Play in 75 countries, with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars from nearly 130,000 users.

Notable features include switching between photo and video with just one swipe, real-time filter and a photo editor complete with emojis, doodles and text that you can share on social media.
