Pity the overworked app maker last September. As summer gave way to autumn, Android 7 (Nougat), Apple’s iOS 10, Google’s Pixel phone and the iPhone 7 were all released within days of each other, heralding a busy period for app developers. Technology that once seemed science fiction artificial intelligence (AI), voice control and biometrics, became a fact of life in Android and iOS. Keen to ride the wave of these advances, app makers spent the next few months busting a gut to get new apps and updates rolled out. So with all of these new apps, how do you choose what to download? in this issue, Jane Hoskyn reveals twenty five new apps that you’ll love and the great thing about it is, that they’re all free.
