Synium Software GmbH's MacFamilyTree 10, a visual family tree exploration app, was recognized as the top Mac app of the year, TelevisaUnivision Interactive's Vix streaming service won the title of best Apple TV app for streaming Spanish-language stories, and Gentler Stories' Gentler Streak, an exercise and fitness tracker, was named best Apple Watch app of the year.
Apple's annual game awards honored Electronic Arts' Apex Legends Mobile as the top iPhone game and XD Network Inc.'s Moncage as the best iPad game title.
Also in the same vein, Apple named BeReal, a social app, as the best app of the year — a sharp departure from the winners of the past two years: Toca Life World (a children’s app) and WakeOut! (a fitness app). In its blog post announcing the awards, Apple described Bereal as an app that provides “an authentic look into the lives of [users’] family and friends.”.
