It hasn’t been announced officially, but I’m betting the Zit Picker was the 500 millionth download from the iTunes [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macpaw) App store. The multitouch feature is optimized for accurate and complete virtual zit picking. [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unlisted-apps) took a stand early and refused some early vile applications, but iBeer enjoyed huge success and Apple realized they could not be the decider when it came to good taste, because a short time later, the iPhone iFart app hit the stores.
