Every year the Apple Design Awards commemorate the best-designed and most innovative apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Past winners include hit games like Monument Valley and Cut the Rope, or brilliant productivity apps like Remember the Milk and Fantastical 2. 2017’s selections were designed by a mix of independent designers and top developers and they range in uses: you’ll find photo editors, tools for converting currencies, puzzle games and note-taking apps.
