The Best Apple Vision Pro Apps for 2025
https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-apple-vision-pro-apps
What PCMag’s list covers
A spread across work/productivity, creativity & learning, entertainment, utilities, and games—with emphasis on apps that feel “native” in spatial computing.
Work / Productivity
Things 3 (visionOS) — full task manager in floating windows; great with hand/eye input and multiple spaces.
Zoom / Microsoft 365 / Box — core “office” stack is available on Vision Pro for meetings and docs (PCMag’s earlier work-apps piece highlights these).
Creativity & Learning
Night Sky — astronomy in 3D space; spatial sky maps are a natural fit.
Mindfulness (Apple) — breathing/reflect sessions as an ambient spatial experience; easy daily habit.
Entertainment & Media
Apple TV, Disney+, Prime Video, Crunchyroll — strongest “big screen” experiences today (some are iPad ports that still work well in an immersive theater).
Note: Netflix still no app; use Safari as a fallback. YouTube native app is “on the roadmap.”
Games
Blackbox (visionOS) — spatial puzzle design; Apple Design Award winner in Spatial Computing.
Synth Riders — rhythm/fitness staple now on Vision Pro; good demo of full-body interaction.
What the Golf? — playful physics/perspective gags translate well to big space.
How to use the list
Prioritize native visionOS apps first—they support depth, passthrough, and richer windowing. Then fill gaps with iPad ports you already love.
Mix 2–3 apps per category to learn the UX: one work app (e.g., Things or Microsoft 365), one entertainment app (Apple TV/Disney+), one game (Synth Riders/Blackbox), and one wellness/learning app (Mindfulness/Night Sky).
Quick takeaways
Start with one from each category to learn the platform’s strengths.
Prefer native visionOS versions for wow-factor and ergonomics.
Expect a hybrid workflow until missing streaming apps arrive.
