New Mobile Apps to Try
The app stores are not kind to indie developers. Charts favor whoever already has installs, search favors whoever bought the keyword, and a genuinely good app from one person can sit invisible for months. This page is a small correction: mobile apps from indie makers, listed because a human decided they were real and worth trying.
Everything here follows the TryMy.App rule (free, free trial, or freemium), so trying an app costs you a download and a few minutes, nothing more. iOS, Android, or both; utilities, small games, tools you'll actually open on the train.
If you shipped a mobile app and the store algorithm shrugged at it, submit it free. People who collect new apps for sport hang out here, and they leave better feedback than a star rating ever will.
