New Delhi: 

Since they began in 1996, the awards have been given each year and have six main sections: Delight and Fun, Inclusivity, Innovation, Interaction, Social Impact and Visuals and Graphics. Instead of having a separate category this year, Vision Pro apps were featured prominently in the list of winners, pointing to the increasing importance of immersive experiences on Apple products.

Apple has revealed the winners of its 2025 Apple Design Awards, which highlight the best and most creative apps and games available on its devices. This year, twelve remarkable creations were recognised, all of which demonstrated creative thinking, inclusivity and social good, showing Apple’s dedication to the developer community.

Speechify was highlighted in the inclusivity category for allowing users to listen to any text read aloud in over 50 languages. Art of Fauna, a puzzle game with phobia settings, various colours and VoiceOver support, was the winner in the games segment.

Innovation

Rabbit 3 Times’ Play, a tool for designing interactive apps, was chosen as the most innovative app. In the games, PBJ — The Musical was the top choice due to its stop-motion animation and tune about the famous sandwich.

Delight and fun

The Delight and Fun award for apps was given to CapWords, a product created by China’s HappyPlan Tech. Objects in the real world are turned into interactive stickers that make learning fun. Balatro, which connects concepts from Solitaire and Poker, was recognised for best games at the event.

Interaction

3D models in the Taobao app for Apple Vision Pro helped it win in the Interaction category for virtual shopping. Dredge, a fishing horror RPG by Black Salt Games from New Zealand, was awarded the top prize in games.

Social impact

Watch Duty: Wildfire Maps was praised for its real-time fire alerts and mapping, and Neva, a platformer featuring a girl and her wolf, took first place in the games category.

Visuals and graphics

South Korea’s Sketchsoft received recognition for Feather, its Feather: Draw in 3D drawing application, because of its impressive visuals. The game became popular for its interesting way to dress up and its well-built settings.

Apple’s 2025 Design Awards demonstrated that apps and games can please, help and motivate people everywhere. These apps demonstrate how powerful Apple’s tools can be, showing that creativity is endless.
