Manzana celebrated the tenth year of its event App Store Awards to reward the best games and apps of 2022 with categories that span multiple platforms developed and managed by the company, iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with the addition of Best App for Apple Watch, Apple Arcade Game of the Year and five winners for Cultural Impact.

First of all, we have Apex Legends Mobile winning the iPhone Game of the Year award. The Electronic Arts title is a third-person battle royale that directly competes with Epic Games’ Fortnite, and it appears to have a more than decent iOS version. From our perspective, it almost sounds like a shot at the Tim Sweeney-led company, especially when we see that Apple and Epic Games went to court over the App Store’s restrictions on the implementation of in-app payment methods.

valuation Awarded iPhone App of the Year Be realistic, which is a type of social network and allows users to share photos taken and see what friends are doing on the social network. The main features of BeReal are image sharing and its simplicity.

As we said at the beginning, the Apple Watch is another of the categories, and for the supposedly smart watch of the bitten apple, they have been awarded Fine stripe, a wellness app that helps users balance fitness and relaxation. It doesn’t hurt to have an app out there to track your health, especially as our lives become more chaotic and difficult to balance.

What iPad App of the Year was awarded Good notes 5, which, as its name suggests, is for note-taking, although it offers compatibility with Apple’s digital pencil (Apple Pencil), collaboration tools, and markup of PDF documents. It is also available for iPhone and Mac to synchronize notes between different devices of the Cupertino giant (in addition to being a basic function of this type of application).

The iPad game of the year is Moncage, which falls into the puzzle adventure genre and to mention something specific in the title, all levels take place inside a mysterious cube with unique patterns for each level. It’s worth noting that Apex Legends also works on the iPad, but perhaps this simplification would cause the tablet to lose prominence in the event.

As far as macOS, the operating system used by Mac computers, is the app of the year MacFamilyTree 10, a genealogy software program that allows users to create family trees and add diagrams, statistics, photos, and audio clips. Its App Store tab tells the user to “experience and discover your family history as vivid and versatile as never before. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of genealogy and explore your family tree through stunning 3D views, meaningful diagrams, detailed reports, as well as additional statistics and ratings.”

from his side, became the video game of the year for macOS registration“an inky black card-based odyssey that blends deck-building roguelike, escape room-style puzzles and psychological horror into one gory smoothie” and with unexpected twists.

As the last platform we have Apple TV, with ViXbelonging to TelevisaUnivision, as the application of the year for watching movies and television in our language and Son as a video game for said platform, which was developed by HandyGames, and follows the adventures of a six-year-old orphan who faces the challenges of life in the Wild West.

Finally, we mention the apps that have been recognized for their cultural impact, which are How we feel, Dot’s Home, locker widget, water flame and Inua – A story in ice and time. She was awarded for Apple Arcade Wylde flowers.
