Apple on Thursday shared its annual list of App Store Award winners, continuing its tradition of celebrating the best apps and games of the past year. <\/p>\n

For 2025, the winning iPhone app was visual planner Tiimo, and the iPhone game of the year was the card game Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket.<\/p>\n

Although Apple has continued to avoid<\/a> naming a dedicated AI app or AI chatbot as its app of the year, AI was showcased among this year\u2019s winners.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s app of the year, Tiimo<\/a>, for instance, is described as a visual AI planner that turns to-dos into plans with visual timelines. The app uses AI to break down your tasks into a realistic schedule by estimating how long each step of a task could take and helping you to create a plan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the iPad app of the year, Detail<\/a>, simplifies video editing with an \u201cAuto Edit\u201d AI feature that handles things like silence removal, zoom cuts, and adding titles and captions.<\/p>\n

A Cultural Impact winner, StoryGraph<\/a>, uses a machine learning AI to make book recommendations based on your reading data, while another, Be My Eyes<\/a>, offers an AI assistant that provides visual descriptions of real-world images for blind and low-vision users.<\/p>\n

And the Apple Watch app of the year, Strava<\/a>, includes an AI assistant that turns workout data into insights.<\/p>\n

The company also announced winners for the iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and a standout within its own game subscription service, Apple Arcade.<\/p>\n

Plus, Apple gave a handful of apps a \u201cCultural Impact\u201d award. These apps, the company said, offered helpful tools, promoted understanding, or shaped a more inclusive world.<\/p>\n
