But despite all these changes, the winning lineup reminds us that the quality of the apps on the App Store remains high.ДЄpple also released its year-end list of the most-downloaded apps, led by TikTok (iPhoneвЂ™s top free app), Procreate Pocket (iPhone and iPadвЂ™s top paid app), Among Us! (iPhone and iPadвЂ™s top free game), Minecraft (iPhone and iPadвЂ™s top paid game), YouTube (iPadвЂ™s top free app) and The Oregon Trail (top Apple Arcade app.) The full lineup is here. As a result, Apple has adjustedВ and clarified its policies and even reduced its commissions in some cases, as dictated by the market demands and settlement agreements. 2021 was a year thatвЂ™s seen much backlash and upheaval for the App Store, which has faced increased regulatory scrutiny, new legislation in global markets and various lawsuits over the App StoreвЂ™s commission-based business model - including the ongoing one with Epic Games, now under appeal. Other winners are those that compete with AppleвЂ™s own first-party apps, including Carrot Weather (which also uses weather data from Apple-owned Dark Sky), Pages rival Craft and iMovie competitor LumaFusion. For instance, Toca Boca - which has produced more than 40 kidsвЂ™ apps to date and celebrated its 10-year anniversary this year - is a reminder that developers are building long-term businesses on the App Store and Apple helped play a role in supporting that success.

WhatвЂ™s interesting about this yearвЂ™s group of winners is the subtle statement Apple is making with its editorial picks.
