The Popular Android Apps That Hog the Most Battery, Data, and Storage

It's no secret that many apps are terrible for your phone's
 performance. If you want to know which ones are the worst, 
take a look at this study from AVG, which highlights the Android 
apps that drain your battery most,take up the most storage space,
and use up the most data.

AVG collected real usage data over six months for all the Android apps with one million or more installs. Many of these are pretty obvious—of course Netflix uses a huge amount of data and games take up the most storage space. 

Some are less intuitive, however. Why is AT&T's Smart Wi-Fi tool hogging cellular data connections? What is Candy Crush Saga doing to drain your battery life? (That one we know, actually. Free, ad-supported apps are the vampires of the app world.)

Here's AVG's top 10 for each of the categories. (ZDNet offers the info in tables with additional details on the apps.)
