What just happened? Apple has revealed the best and most popular apps of 2019 across a variety of categories. While some of the selections are par for the course, others might surprise you. Read on for the full breakdown across both free and paid charts.
The best iPhone app of the year award goes to Spectre Camera (Lux Optics), a photography app that uses AI to take beautiful long-exposure images. Over on the iPad, digital notebook app Flow by Moleskin took home top honors for its meticulous selection of drawing utensils that mimic the real thing.
Affinity Publisher from Serif Labs beat out all others as Mac app of the year. Boasting an "elegant user experience and [a] remarkably reasonable price point," this app can help anyone turn out professional-looking publications without breaking the bank.
