Apple on Wednesday announced the winners of this year’s App Store Awards. The company said the honorees, which included iOS video app Kino being named App of the Year, were chosen for delivering “exceptional experiences on the App Store.” The winners were selected from 45 finalists by the App Store’s editorial team for “demonstrating the highest levels of user experience, design, and innovation.”

“We are thrilled to honor this impressive group of developers who are harnessing the power of Apple devices and technology to deliver experiences that enrich the lives of users and have a profound impact on their communities,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook in a statement. “The remarkable achievements of this year’s winners demonstrate the incredible ingenuity that can be unlocked through apps.”

Notably for the disability community, Apple honored Oko as one of six Cultural Impact winners. The iPhone app uses artificial intelligence to help people more accessibly—and safely—cross streets. Apple described Oko as leveraging “innovation and simplicity to help users who are blind or have low vision navigate city streets with confidence,” adding Oko is a piece of software which “[champions] a more accessible world.”

I covered the announcement of the finalists last month. In my report, I shared my lived experiences as a blind person navigating the world and street-crossing, as well as my time speaking with the Oko developers. At WWDC back in June, I participated in a briefing with the Oko development team. The bulk of our conversation centered on accessibility, with the guys telling me the app was created partly to help disabled people get around their neighborhoods more accessibly and, arguably most crucially, with considerably more agency and autonomy.

As I also wrote, it’s worth reiterating Oko is conceptually similar to the Commute Booster app built by NYU. “While NYU is trying to make the vast New York City subway system navigable to Blind and low vision people, both Commute Booster and Oko lean on the modern smartphone’s compute power in driving the technology,” I said.
