With the holidays upon us it's of course time for everyone to put out their year- end lists on well just about everything. And Apple wouldn't wanna be left out of the fun. On Monday it dropped its list of the best iPhone apps and games of 2014 on iTunes. Number one on the app side free lap Elevate. Elevate is a personalized brain training program designed to improve your cognitive skills. Basically it aims to make you smarter through daily games and challenges. According to USA Today, the app has been downloaded more than 5 million times in the just more than six months since it launched. On the game side, the top spot went to Threes, a 2. 99 game Apple calls one of the finest number puzzlers we've ever played. To play, you must swipe a group of tiles up, down, left, or right across a four by four grid. It's kind of similar to the popular game 2048 in that you have to combine tiles to make bigger and bigger numbers before the board fills up. But it may have been its design that set it apart. As Mac World reported back in February the game is filled with charming touches and a beautiful interface. Coming in as runner up to Elevate and Three's for Instagram's time lapse video app, Hyper Lapse on the app side. And adventure game Leo's Fortune on the game side. Yet another separate list was released for iPad apps and games. [ MUSIC ]
