DaVinci Resolve Wins First Most Voted Apps Community Award
The community has spoken: DaVinci Resolve is the best Photo & Video app on Most Voted Apps. IrfanView and CapCut take second and third place. Seven more apps have been nominated. With its awards, Most Voted Apps will recognize the most popular apps in a different category every month.
Bonn, October 1, 2026 – Professional video editing for free: Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve has won the first Most Voted Apps Community Award. In September’s voting in the “Photo & Video” category, the software, available for macOS, Windows and Linux, came out on top among more than 200 other apps. Windows image viewer IrfanView took second place, while third place went to CapCut, the cross-platform photo and video app specializing in creating and editing clips for TikTok, Instagram and other social media platforms.
This makes DaVinci Resolve the first monthly winner on Most Voted Apps. Launched just two weeks ago, on September 15, 2026, the platform creates app rankings based not on download numbers or editorial reviews, but on votes from its community.
“Our first award is a great example of what we want to achieve with Most Voted Apps: it shouldn’t be the biggest marketing campaign or the highest number of downloads that determines the winner, but recommendations from users,” says Stephan Ehrmann, founder of Most Voted Apps and Managing Director of movo media GmbH. “I find it particularly exciting that DaVinci Resolve, a professional yet free application, has won, while IrfanView, a true freeware classic, has taken second place.”
The apps ranked fourth through tenth, including VLC and iMovie, now carry the title “Nominee.” Winners and nominees receive their own medal on Most Voted Apps. Developers can display the award on their websites free of charge; the required HTML code can be copied directly from the developer section.
October: Finding the Best Utility Apps
Following Photo & Video Award, voting for the next category began on October 1. This time, the community is looking for the best apps in the Utilities category. Users have one month to vote for their favorites and decide which apps will ultimately receive an award. Those who vote can also enter giveaways. Currently, users have the chance to win one of 50 full-version licenses for the popular Mac app Find Any File, worth a total of €450.
About Most Voted Apps
Most Voted Apps is a community-powered leaderboard for apps. Instead of download numbers or rankings in app stores, user votes determine the order. With a single click or tap, users can upvote or downvote apps, and the rankings are updated live. The goal is to give visibility not only to well-known applications, but also to apps that receive less attention in traditional app store charts. The platform currently features around 2,100 apps. Apps that receive neither positive nor negative votes for an extended period are removed, helping to keep the selection manageable despite the constantly growing number of apps available.
Attempts to manipulate the rankings are penalized. A jury of well-known technology and media experts provides personal recommendations, but jury members have no more voting power than any other user. The platform is funded through advertising. Sponsored apps are clearly labeled and never affect the order of the community rankings. Most Voted Apps is free to use and available in both German and English.
