The year is coming to an end, and it’s time for the 2024 App Store Awards by Apple. These are the finalists from all platforms.

Apple Announces 45 Finalists for its 2024 App Store Awards, Winners to be Announced in a Few Weeks

At the end of each year, Apple takes the time to give awards to apps and games across all its platforms – iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, and tvOS – that offer the best user experience, design, and more.

This year, as you might have guessed, the new platform is visionOS, so you’ll witness a good amount of variety too.

These are essentially the best apps on their platforms and categories, and Apple kicks things off with the iPhone.
