Apple says these were the best apps and games in 2016
It’s that time of year again for the “best of” and “top ten” annual lists.
Google just named the top-trending YouTube videos in 2016, and now Apple has announced its favourite apps, games, music, movies, and more. The company’s top pick for apps is Prisma, which we reviewed this past summer and absolutely loved, while Supercell’s Clash Royale took the best game spot. Amazingly, Pokemon Go didn’t make the cut, though it was noted as a “breakout hit”.
- Yippee! New Pokemon coming to Pokemon Go on 12 December
