The versatility and popularity of mobile devices has made them the go-to platform for today’s best developers, who are falling over each other to produce the shiniest, smartest new apps. Mobile apps are now easier to make than PC programs, and much easier to market, thanks to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. So if you’re looking for today’s best tech tools, you won’t find them in the murky wild west of free PC software download sites, let alone Microsoft’s Windows Store. Instead, you’ll find them in app stores. Trouble is there are so many apps now, it can be hard to know which ones are worth using. More than two thousand five hundred new apps appear in the Play Store every day, and many of them are pretty ropey. So we’ve taken a deep dive into the quagmire to fish out the latest gems. For this feature, we’ve tested scores of Android and iOS apps launched in the last few weeks – all new, or updated with new features – and zoomed in on the best of the bunch, including some amazing new must-haves.
