Meet the winners and finalists
For over a decade, we’ve taken a moment at the end of the year to 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 honor outstanding winners and finalists. Congratulations to them all!
