I’m one of those that despise subscriptions in apps, even though Apple tries to push them whenever they can. What I was not expecting is that from their winners’ list, I guess only (ironically) the app Too Good To Go, doesn’t feature that garbage business model.

Feel free to give your bets for next year. I’ll bet on AI subscription based apps 😎

    What are you suggesting here? That you want Apple to be biased and curate the list so it removes the actually most downloaded apps from the list?

      No, I’m suggesting that they are being biased and choosing apps that fit their criteria. Remember, it was them who advised the devs to go into that path, in the first place.

        Have you looked at the download stats to know they are “choosing” them?

        At a glance they look like they are just the most downloaded apps, that’s what most popular means in these.

        If you want curated biased lists, than make your own. You seem to making an issue where one doesn’t exist, if there’s evidence that they aren’t the most downloaded apps, than share it so you’re not having a bias or an agenda here.

          They didn’t share what was the criteria used to choose them.

          Maybe you’re right…

            ………

            You are angry that the most downloaded apps by people are subscription based and took offense at Apple for telling you?

            Oh my.
