DAZN was the App of the Year for Apple TV

In addition to recognizing the best apps and games on Apple devices, Apple’s App Store editors also indicate a Trend of the Year with the aim of identifying a trend that has had a significant impact on people’s lives, and recognizing the apps and the best games that have intercepted and interpreted this trend. The trend of 2021 is the “Connection”.

  • With its mix of collaboration and competition, “Among Us!” fueled the community with mini-games that invited users to talk – and listen to each other – through jokes, bluffs and teamwork.
  • Bumble has intercepted this connection trend by adding and enhancing features designed to connect date seekers, interested in making platonic friendships, and expanding their professional networks – all while promoting female-fueled conversations.
  • Offering elegant and simple design tools and beautiful templates, Canva helps users tap into their entrepreneurial spirit by making design simple for professionals, students, job seekers, community leaders, and teams of all kinds.
  • EatOkra has built a solid user guide, for over 11,000 restaurants owned by people in the Black community that help people find ‘tasty’ ways to invest in their community.
  • With the launch of Pods in social audio led by experts in various fields, from pregnancy and menopause to relationships and self-care, Peanut is creating a space for candid conversations about every aspect of womanhood at every stage of life.

Below, however, are the most downloaded apps and games on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and on Apple Arcade.
