Congratulations to all of the winners:

The minimalistic design features elegent typography, powerful search, and navigation through notes, projects, and tools including iCloud sync and Handoff.

Bandimal (Finland) is a child-friendly music composer that substitutes instruments with animated cartoon animals, allowing kids to experiment with melodies and rhythms in a fun and unique way. The focus is on creativity—no notes, no chords, no rules, no scores.

iTranslate Converse (Austria) turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a two-way translation device. The simple design enables natural conversations in 38 languages, works offline, and automatically detects the correct language between two selected languages for a fast and accurate translation.

Triton Sponge (U.S.) is an innovative iPad app used in medical operating rooms to quickly calculate and keep track of blood loss from surgical sponges and suction canisters.
