\"2015-12-09<\/a>Apple has named its iPhone Apps and Games of the Year.<\/p>\n

We debated. We argued. Everyone had favorites, but to make this list of 2015’s finest, there could be no doubts. What you see here made the cut\u2014they’re the most visionary, inventive, and irresistible apps and games of the year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The list is a nice mix of big names and indie darlings, so let’s take a look at the list for the UK.<\/p>\n

Biggest winners<\/h3>\n

In the UK, App of the Year went to photo editor Enlight<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 in the US, the same award went to live video sharing app Periscope<\/a>. Both countries agreed on Game of the Year though, which went to Square Enix for the excellent Lara Croft GO<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

International money transfer app TransferWise<\/a>\u00a0received the Most Innovative App award, while aural horror game Dark Echo<\/a> got the nod in the Most Innovative Game category.<\/p>\n

Runners-Up<\/h3>\n

Three apps were named as Runners-Up, including scanning app Scanbot<\/a>, London event finder Dojo<\/a>\u00a0and music mixing app Pacemaker<\/a>. The latter won an Apple Design Award earlier this year, so it’s no surprise to see it pop up again in the Apps of the Year list as well.<\/p>\n

On the gaming side of things, we had two Runners-Up from well known game studios, and one from an indie developer. Bethesda’s Fallout Shelter<\/a> was a fun game in the run-up to the release of PC and console title Fallout 4, while Ubisoft’s Rayman Adventures<\/a>\u00a0continued the rise of the eponymous 90s platforming star. Joel McDonald took home fifth place and the last Runner-Up spot with his novel tree-trimming game Prune<\/a>.<\/p>\n
