Apple announces winners of the 2022 Apple Design Awards
Apple today hosted its annual Apple Design Awards, celebrating 12 best-in-class apps and
games. This year’s winners include developers from around the world who were selected for
delivering innovative, creative, and beautifully designed experiences through apps that inspired
users with vision, purpose, and brilliance.
For the second year, six different categories recognize one app and game each for inclusivity,
delight and fun, interaction, social impact, visuals and graphics, and innovation. The winners
were chosen from 36 finalists, all of which have demonstrated outstanding technical
achievement.
“As apps and games remain an essential part of our lives, we’re excited by the ways that
developers continue to use our technologies to create standout apps for people everywhere,”
said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “The work of this
year’s Apple Design Award winners embodies how apps can be transformative, uplifting, or
even provide an escape through creative gameplay — and we congratulate each developer for
all they’ve accomplished.”
Inclusivity
Winners in this category provide a great experience for all by supporting people from a diversity
of backgrounds, abilities, and languages.
App: Procreate
Developer: Savage Interactive (Australia)
Pro create, a world-class tool for artists and designers, brings people more creative power than
ever through its iPad app. With new accessibility features — such as tremor and motion filtering,
an in-app assistive touch menu, audio feedback, and colour blindness settings — to augment its
support of VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and more, the app empowers more artists to create,
interact, and express themselves.
Game: Wylde Flowers
Developer: Studio Drydock (Australia)
An Apple Arcade original, Wylde Flowers brings a refreshingly diverse storyline and cast of
LGBTQIA+ representative characters to players with a witchy twist. The narrative evolves to
represent all ages, cultures, and sexualities, as users explore a wholesome world of magical
realms with storylines that implore users to examine identity, accept others, and support their
community — ultimately to tell a much larger story.
Finalists for this category include Letter Rooms by Klemens Strasser, Navi by Good Snooze,
Noted. by Digital Workroom, and tint. by Lykkegaard Europe Limited.
Delight and Fun
Winners in this category provide memorable, engaging, and satisfying experiences that are
enhanced by Apple technologies.
App: (Not Boring) Habits

Developer: Andy Works LLC (United States)
As its (grammatically inventive) name suggests, (Not Boring) Habits adds a little flair to the
mild-mannered habit tracker. With its sensational designs, playful haptics, and elegant
gamification, this life hack adventure plays out as an inspiring journey through forests and
mountains — it makes tracking habits a truly artistic experience.
Game: Overboard!
Developer: inkle (United Kingdom)
Overboard! is a whodunit with a twist: You done it. In this delightfully sly murder mystery game,
players take on not the role of the detective but the guilty party who, through quick-witted
conversations with unsuspecting crewmates, tries to get away with a splashy crime. And with an
engaging narrative design, pithy dialogue, and multiple endings, it’s a case to open again and
again.
Finalists for this category include Chineasy; Moncage by Optillusion; Please, Touch The Artwork
by Studio Waterzooi; and Waterllama by Vitalii Mogylevets.
Interaction
Winners in this category deliver intuitive interfaces and effortless controls that are perfectly
tailored to their platform.
App: Slopes
Developer: Breakpoint Studio (United States)
Slopes, a seamless ski-tracking app experience, provides users with an intuitive skiing and
snowboarding diary, employing the GPS on iPhone or Apple Watch to track distance and speed.
Its best-in-class social features gamify the experience by connecting with friends and family —
all by tapping a single button. The app is packed with a mountain of data but designed to be as
easy to navigate as a run on the bunny slopes.
Game: A Musical Story
Developer: Glee-Cheese Studio (France)
A harmonious mix of song, story, and artistic creation, A Musical Story remixes the idea of what
a mobile game can be. The game’s narrative unfolds with a richly animated minimalism, the
gameplay puts a novel spin on the rhythm game, and the end result illustrates how seemingly
disparate design elements can work in perfect concert.
Finalists for this category include Gibbon: Beyond the Trees by Broken Rules; Transit by Transit,
Inc.; Vectornator: Vector Design by Linearity; and What Remains of Edith Finch by Giant
Sparrow.
Social Impact
Winners in this category improve lives in a meaningful way and shine a light on crucial issues.
App: Rebel Girls
Developer: Rebel Girls Inc. (United States)
Rebel Girls shares the stories of the world’s most influential women — Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
Simone Biles, and Frida Kahlo, to name just a few — through rich audio and gorgeous original
art. The subjects span careers, cultures, and decades, and the voices and accompanying
illustrations — all perfectly tailored for the stories and interface — are furnished by female and
nonbinary artists from around the world.
Game: LEGO® Star Wars™: Castaways

Developer: Gameloft (Canada)
With its cinematic feel, sizzling visual effects, and tactile gameplay, Castaways is a force to be
reckoned with. Set on a long-abandoned planet, the game’s reverently rendered environments
and smooth animations instantly immerse players in a galaxy of action, mystery, and the
occasional dance party. And with endless customisations and characters to meet, the adventure
continues to build.
Finalists for this category include Alien: Isolation by Feral Interactive; Behind the Frame by
Silver Lining Studio under Akatsuki Taiwan; MD Clock by Hangzhou Midi Technology Co., Ltd.;
and (Not Boring) Habits by Andy Works.
Innovation
Winners in this category provide a state-of-the-art experience through novel use of Apple
technologies that sets them apart in their genre.
