The "Best of 2020" winners this year include a number of apps that helped people transition to a life spent at home. For example, home workout app Wakeout! won iPhone App of the Year, while Zoom snagged the top spot as the iPad App of the Year.
Disney+, which helped families keep kids entertained during coronavirus lockdowns, won for Apple TV App of the Year.
2020 has been a tough year filled with stressful events, including not only the COVID-19 pandemic, but November’s contentious U.S. presidential elections, protests and riots over racial injustice, Brexit, the deadly Beirut explosion, locust swarms in East Africa and deaths of prominent figures like Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman and others.
As Apple explained in its announcement, apps are a reflection of culture. And this year, they reflected people’s focus on self-care and mental health, remote work and learning, staying connected with family and friends, interactive and social gaming, and more.
This year’s "Best of" winners will receive the first-ever physical App Store Best of 2020 award, featuring the App Store logo set into 100% recycled aluminum, with the winner’s name on the side.
Apple also unveiled the most downloaded apps and games of the year, which, unlike its "best of" editorial selections, are a showcase of real consumer demand.
