Three days ago, Apple released its list for the best iOS apps and games for the year 2011. The App Store Rewind (available on in iTunes match) is a subset of annual Apple’s iTunes Rewind feature, which includes Apple’s top picks in the categories such as music, movies, TV shows, App Store, Books and Podcasts.

Now let turn our attention to the top ones

App was on top of the list as it made it in 20 picks categories ranging from books to weather, and chose the top five apps in each category. This year Apple did it with a little differently from that of the years past, separating iPhone and iPad apps.
