Them not caring never comes as a surprise. It's also not hard to do the awards in early January so all of the calendar year is included.It's almost the end of the year, and many will go on Christmas holidays. Either their app is ready by now, or there's always next year. I don't see how this comes as a surprise.
It's all falling into place for Tim Cook you see - the Mac lineup will get the axe soon enough, so they won't mention Mac App or Mac Game of the Year in the awards...Apps for Apple TV and Apple Watch get awards. But nothing for the Mac.
this totally cracked me up. Who the hell uses twitter on ATV?! And if that's the top app this does not speak well for ATV as an app platform.

Really, Bear is this year's top Mac app? It hasn't even been two months since it debuted.
Not only that, it has pretty much equal 50% 5-star and 1-star reviews and is nothing special at all when compared to the zillion other writing and note-taking and to-do apps out there. Ulysses seems like a much better choice in a way. I have nothing against Shiny Frog, but ... why ... just why?
I mean, like Jessica (above), I am flummoxed as to why Apple App Store editors would choose Bear as their app of the year. And I cannot find an official explanation anywhere as to why they selected it. What makes it so special?
Disclaimer: I don't write apps, I don't use Bear, and I don't work for Bear or any of its competition.
