The App Store Awards are here and that’s why tech giant Apple is unveiling its list of finalists for this year’s prestigious event.
For those who might not be aware, the tech giant calls this out as a great chance for both app and game developers to get recognition for all the hard work and efforts they deserve after working relentlessly around the year.
There are a total of 40 names for 2023 that span across 10 categories. Moreover, such apps end up producing exceptional experiences, the Cupertino firms add, resulting in the best cultural effect for the world to witness.
Apple has always taken pride in this event, calling it a great way for creators and developers to feel like they’re acknowledged and that their contribution isn’t going unnoticed by the leading iPhone maker.
The company confirmed that this is the list of finalists and we should be seeing the list of winners announced by the end of the month.
Phil Schiller praised the list of finalists and called them out as super-talented and those who show extreme dedication in their field of work. He similarly spoke about how the firm is so happy and honored to see the achievements of these individuals who continue to assist users in terms of exploring all kinds of interests.
This could be linked to the world of art, games, health, education, entertainment/music, design, edits for videos, physical activities/sports, and so much more. Furthermore, he called them out as talent powerhouses who put great effort into their creations and what they get in the end are exceptional products that the world can benefit from.
As far as the winner for the year 2022 is concerned, it was the popular picture-sharing app BeReal that attained the honor of the platform of the year.
Coming to this year’s list of finalists, Apple claims all the names assisted users big time in terms of finding a wonderful means for exploration as well as learning some innovative skills that perhaps weren’t known much about in the past. This includes AllTrails for outside exploration, Duolingo for expanding learning to the world, and Flighty for stress-free travel experiences.
For Gaming purposes, Afterplace, Honkai, and Vampire Survivors were shortlisted for their innovative contributions and great creativity in terms of keeping users entertained at all times, not to mention incredible animation and cinematic effects.
Those included in the iPad App of the Year domain were DaVinci Resolve, Concepts, and even Pret a Makeup. The latter was hailed for turning makeup trends to life.

Meanwhile, the names of Mac Games entering the list were celebrated for great storylines and their use of stellar graphics.
