Business app screenshots with an award or laurel
An award mark, laurel wreath or “App of the Day”. An award is someone else’s judgement of the app, shown at the moment the reader is making their own.
From the top 100 free Business apps on the US App Store, read on October 9, 2026. Screenshots are the developers’ own, shown from Apple’s servers with a link to each app.
The numbers
6 of the 554 Business screenshots read (1%) do this, across 6 of the top 100 apps (6%). 0 of the top ten do it (0%), against 6 of the other 90 (7%): the top ten do it about as often as the rest. Of the 23 categories read so far, Business is 21st for this. It is most common in Education (34% of apps) and least common in Developer Tools (5%).
