Meet the finalists

Every year, the App Store Awards celebrate the very best and most impactful apps and games on the App Store — and the developers behind them.

With so much innovation and creativity across the App Store worldwide, selecting just a few apps and games is no easy task. That’s why this year we’re proud to recognize 45 App Store Award finalists across 12 different categories.

Winners will be selected and announced in the coming weeks.
