Apple released its list of App Store Best of 2020. These 15 apps were recognised by the company for their assistance in making life easier in one of the toughest years on record.
For this year's selection, Apple considered the apps that helped make life easier as well as those that enabled people to stay healthy and connected. Their high quality, creative design and innovative tech were also considered.
Much like most apps that are worth their salt, many of these cost money. Whether you're paying for the whole download or a subscription, here are the best apps for 2020 and how much they cost.
