2018 was a good year for mobile users with tons of new apps and games added to Apple's App Store. We've highlighted many of the best in our best iPhone apps as well as best iPad apps guides and now it's time for Apple to reveal what it considers are the best from 2018:
Phone App of the Year - Procreate Pocket
iPhone Game of the Year - Donut County
iPad App of the Year - Froggipedia
iPad Game of the Year - Gorogoa
Mac App of the Year - Pixelmator Pro
Procreate Pocket is a great app if you fancy dabbling in digital finger-painting. Whether you’re a novice scribbler or a jobbing artist, this app’s sleek interface wants to get out of your way and let you paint.
Donut County is a physics puzzler where you play as a hungry hole in the ground. The more the hole eats, the larger it grows. Initially you are only able to swallow a few blades of grass but as you crack the correct order of items to gulp down you’ll soon be downing cars, buildings and even hillsides.
The best of the rest
