At the top of the heap is Amazon, which packs lots of functionality into its mobile app. The Amazon app lets users shop, listen to e-books, and enjoy some capabilities of Alexa, the same virtual assistant that's in Amazon's Echo device.

Facebook has taken a different approach and created a variety of different apps. While Facebook doesn't have the number one spot, it counts four of its properties among the list of must-haves for millennials.
