As so it's the end of 2014 and Apple has revealed its traditional top lists for the year, including the apps it believes that every iPhone owner should have on their device.
Members of the iTunes App Store team have chosen their favourites apps and games released in 2014 and awarded them Apple's highest honours. There are plenty of other recommended apps in each category too, so we've detailed them here in the one place for you to discover and download, if you haven't already.
Best iPhone apps of 2014
Winner: Replay Video Editor
A free download supported by in-app purchases, such as the removal of watermarks, Replay Video Editor [1] Â is a powerful yet simple video editing tool that enables users to mash together music, text, photos and video to make clips in seconds. These can then be uploaded to social networks, including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
Runner-up: Peak - Brain Training
Self-improvement app Peak - Brain Training [2] Â has puzzle challenges and brain workouts that help you train your memory, focus, problem solving, mental agility and language skills. It is designed to be used daily and keeps a score on how you've progressed through your goals. It's completely free to use, but you can purchase a Pro Training account subscription for greater access.

Best iPhone games of 2014
Winner: Threes
Cunningly simple but beautifully designed, Threes [3]  is one of those apps that you can lose hours to. It is, in essence, a simple puzzle game where you have to continue to multiply your way to a maximum score through the three-times table, but manoeuvring the puzzle grid around to get the best result is not as easy as it sounds. It might sound expensive at £1.99, but that's money well spent.
Runner-up: Leo's Fortune
Leo's Fortune [4]  is a beautiful platformer that, at £2.99, is decent value for a lot of adventuring fun. The moustachioed ball of fluff that is the main hero is a cute lead character and the hand-drawn backgrounds are gorgeous.
Also recommended
Apple also revealed that Minecraft - Pocket Edition [5]  was its most downloaded paid app of 2014 - impressive as it's rarely dipped from its £4.99 cover price. Facebook's Messenger [6]  app was the most downloaded free application.
