The app focuses on attractively presenting words to help retention and increase engagement.

The app has a 4.6 rating out of 5, based on 514 reviews, so it’s safe to say people are happy with it.

The second app to be shortlisted isLumy, a software designed to help users synchronise their activities with the sun’s movements.

It provides precise information on sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and other solar events to optimise photography, outdoor activities, and overall well-being.

The final app to make it to the shortlist isWatch to 5K, which guides beginners through a nine-week program to gradually build up to running 5 kilometres.

It operates independently of theiPhoneand integrates with Apple Health to track your progress over time.

Even though the apps have nothing to do with each other, they almost complement each other, looking after your brain and your body.

App Store Award winners chosen from this distinguished group of app and game developers will be announced in the coming weeks.
