Indian Developer Wins Apple Watch App of The Year Award
Lumy, a paid app, is among 17 apps and games, chosen from 45 finalists by App Store Editors, that Apple has recognised for the honour this year.
Apple has announced the Apple Watch App of the Year award has been won by Lumy, a sun position tracking app developed by Indian developer Raja Vijayaraman. Lumy is a sun position tracking app for Apple Watch users, allowing them to set watch faces based on the data, plan their day, and schedule important events such as photography based on sunrises, sunsets, lighting conditions, and weather.
Chennai-based Vijayaraman has previously won the Apple Design Award for his calculator app called Calzy, which has time and again been featured as the App of the Day on the App Store. Apple also featured Lumy, which was ranked #27 on the App Store at the time of writing, in the September 2024 keynote during the Apple Watch Series 10 announcement and on its website.
In an interview in September, Vijayaraman noted that he was a visual effects (VFX) artist before he decided to develop apps after his first iPhone purchase. He has since developed over 10 apps for different Apple devices.
Lumy, a paid app, is among 17 apps and games, chosen from 45 finalists by App Store Editors, that Apple has recognised for the honour this year. “We are thrilled to honour 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. The remarkable achievements of this year’s winners demonstrate the incredible ingenuity that can be unlocked through apps,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
