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 49 App Store Award finalists across 14 different categories.
Winners will be selected and announced in the coming weeks.
Congratulations to the incredible developers who built this year’s App of the Year finalists. They helped us discover more ways to explore the world, learn new skills, and tap into creativity through multiple mediums.
Spanning blockbusters and indies alike, this year’s Game of the Year finalists did more than entertain. Through creative twists, touching storytelling, and thrilling competition, they immersed us in worlds that showed off the breadth of the genre’s artistry.
By spotlighting little-known stories that deserve to be told, prioritizing accessibility, and helping us stay grounded and healthy, these finalists made a meaningful impact in 2025.
