The iOS section includes apps that dominated the top charts as well, with Minecraft, Trivia Crack, Messenger, and Snapchat unsurprisingly in there. On Apple TV and Apple Watch – the most recent additions to the App Store ecosystem – Apple hasn’t picked any runner-ups, but instead they’re simply showcasing the best apps and games. On iOS, Apple also features special mentions for most innovative apps ( Workflow on the iPhone), best app on the iPad Pro ( uMake), and best app on the iPhone 6s (Instagram). In this year’s Best of App Store, Apple has picked Periscope, The Robot Factory, Affinity Photo, HBO Now, and Dark Sky as apps of the year on its five developer platforms. After you’ve browsed our selections, don’t miss the titles that topped the charts in 2015. What you see here made the cut-they’re the most visionary, inventive, and irresistible apps and games of the year. Everyone had favorites, but to make this list of 2015’s finest, there could be no doubts. This year, in addition to iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps, Apple has added editorial picks for the newly launched watchOS and tvOS platforms, highlighting the best apps and games released by third-party developers on Apple Watch and Apple TV. Early this morning, Apple unveiled the 2015 edition of their annual Best of App Store lists – a collection of the best apps and games released on the App Store over the past 12 months.
