Apple recently announced its best apps of the year 2014, and the winner for best iPad app is Pixelmator, a powerful new image editor, created by two Lithuanian entrepreneurs, brothers Saulius and Aidas Dailides, reports LETA/ELTA, referring to Invest Lithuania.

"We worked really hard on Pixelmator for almost two years: staying late at night and working weekends researching, adding, perfecting, polishing, then repeating the same process again and again to build or improve the features of the app," Saulius and Aidas posted on Pixelmator blog shortly after the announcement.

Pixelmator got a lot of buzz after its team was invited to demo the app onstage at Apple's big iPad event in October, and after watching a photo get touched up and transformed in real-time.

"This inspires us to create even more exciting things - just wait till you see our major update of Pixelmator for iPad 1.1 or the new version of Pixelmator for Mac. Those are jaw-dropping," said brothers.
