2022 is drawing to a close, which means that everybody is releasing their year-end wrap-ups—including the App Store. This digital hub is where Apple users download their apps and games, and for more than 10 years, they have announced the best apps of the year.
As always, this year’s selection is based on user experience, technical innovation, and design. Here are some of their top recommendations.
BeReal
The sad truth about life is that we don’t always live in close proximity to those we care about. With friends and family in different places around the world, it can be difficult to stay in touch—but that’s where BeReal comes in. The app sends a daily notification to your group of people at a different time each day and everyone then has 2 minutes to share a photograph.
GoodNotes 5
The trick to taking good notes is to have a good app that helps you. GoodNotes 5 enables you to take handwritten notes and drawings, albeit digitally. Yes, that means you can even doodle on the page!
Apex Legends
Apex Legends may seem like just another hero shooter game, but more than 100 million players would disagree. Played in battle royale style, it features 23 characters with unique abilities.
