The App Store Awards unexpectedly brightened my day (and my Today View)

Apple’s App Store Awards video for this year is mesmerizing. I’ve watched it many times already.

There are some really good-looking apps on the list, and I just had to buy the Apple Watch app of the year, Lumy, because it does such a beautiful job of keeping track of the golden hour, sunset/sunrise times and more.

Lumy’s developer actually has an app bundle (those still exist!) with Lumy, Calzy (a calculator), and Currenzy (a currency converter). They’re all really pretty, but what sold me on the bundle is Calzy. It has a modern, interactive widget that can replace the old PCalc one we lost this year! I, once again, have a calculator in its rightful place in the Today View.

A smartphone displays a vibrant interface with various home automation icons and shortcuts. Below, a calculator app shows the number “512.” The background is a gradient of purple and pink. Maybe it’s just me, but I love being able to swipe over to a persistent calculator.

The bundle of three apps cost $10 versus the $7 of Lumy and $5 for each of the others. Congrats to all the awardees this year!
