Here Are Apple’s Top Apps And Games Of 2016

Apple’s App Store gurus have decided on their favourite apps and games that came out in 2016. Here they are — and strangely enough, they’re not the most downloaded apps like Pokemon Go or Facetune.

Some of these aren’t surprising at all. Prisma, for example, adds cool effects on top of your photos: what’s not to like? Pokemon Go being the top free app, too — no surprise there. Same for the top grossing app. But it sure seems like people spend a lot of money on face-tuning apps. Just take better selfies, people.
