Affinity Photo deserves it too. It's ridiculously well thought out and finally made me rethink my Adobe subscription.

An app that plays "soothing nature sounds" is considered the best iPhone app of 2017? :eek:

Super weird aoty goes to something that isn't on any of the charts, is based on pseudoscience, and pretty much just plays recordings of some lady reading from a script. And I've never even heard of it until today.
Edit: Wow it even costs $12.99 per month - and the domain calm.com couldn't have been cheap. Do developers just buy these awards or something?
Maybe they do deserve an award for convincing people to pay more for a meditation app than an Apple Music subscription.

I've developed my own "Calm" app. This is how it works:
First, I shut off my computer and my phone.
Then I go for a walk, or read a book.
Or sometimes, I relax and enjoy an old record, without any distractions.
And I simply repeat as desired.
Neat, huh? :)

Interesting. I’ve had Calm for a few weeks. I find it to be a useful meditation app, especially being able to control how much guided meditation you need. No complaints so far. I obviously can’t compare against thousands of apps in the App Store, but I do like that something focused on a person’s well-being was chosen. I’ve only recently heard about The Witness, will have to check it out. So many apps, so little time.
Just looked at Affinity Photo. Added to list. It’s half off right now as well.

I only use the free version. I like the stories even though I don’t know how it ends

Why did they revoke your license? I too hate these monthly subscriptions.
The company that I bought CS6 from closed down, so Adobe decided to revoke all the licenses people PAID for. I work for myself, and I couldn't face those kinds of overheads month to month for software when I've got a biz to run and a family of five to feed.
I'm sad to see PS and AI go, but I'm loving Affinity so far.
