The winners of Apple's latest Design Awards have just been announced with 12 apps you might want to try.

The winners have then been chosen from a total of 36 finalists who have all demonstrated outstanding design experiences across apps and games.
'Developers continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, creating apps and games that are not only beautifully designed but also deeply impactful,' said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
