THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE

Meet the 2025
App Store Award winners 

Celebrate the best and most impactful apps and games on the App Store — and the developers behind them.

GET CLARITY

Let’s talk Liquid Glass

It’s a new era of depth, motion, and clarity — and the perfect chance to reimagine your app. Join us for an all-new series of design activities, where you can work alongside Apple experts to bring the new design and Liquid Glass to your app.

The second shows stickers for an audio amplifier, iced tea, duck, dinosaur toy, robin, and shopping basket. The third shows the phrase 'Buckwheat noodles' and a translation.

IT’S STICKY

Behind the appealing design of CapWords

The Apple Design Award winner CapWords certainly leverages a lot of cutting-edge technology for an app that was kind of invented by a 3-year-old.

GROW YOUR BUSINESS

The program is designed to help developers who host mini apps grow their business and further the availability of mini apps on the App Store — all while providing a great customer experience.
