Tips
to find the best apps for your Android and iOS phone
Whether you're on Android or iOS, you
have a mi nd bog gling number of apps at your fingertips. So many in fact that
actually finding the ones you'll want can be a challenge. We broke it down into
a few easy steps for you:
1 Check out what is recommended for
you
If
you're on Android and have already built up a library of apps your first stop
should be Google's recommendations. On the `Apps & Games' homepage you'll
find a selection of apps that have been recommended for you, across various
categories.On iOS the closest equivalent to this is a `Games You Might Like'
section at the bottom of t he `Fe at u re d' screen. This too is based on your
purchase history, so the more games you've downloaded the better its
suggestions get.
2 Look at what others have downloaded
If
there's an app you like a lot, or like the idea of and want to find something
similar to, a good approach is to see what other apps those who've downloaded
it have got. On Google Play you can do this by scrolling to the bottom of the
app's listing on the store, where you'll find a `Users also installed' section.
On iOS, tap on the `Related' tab for an app you're viewing and you'll be
presented with a list of things that customers also bought.
3 Pay attention to reviews and scores
A
quick glance at the average score of an app on either Google Play or the App
Store can usually tell you whether it's worth any more of your attention -less
than three stars and the answer is probably no. If it's a new one there may
only be a small number of ratings, in which case the average score could be
less accurate.
4 See what else a developer has made
If
you like one app by a developer there's a good chance you'll like some of their
other apps. Plus, in some cases multiple apps will feed into one another.For
example to get the most out of the Facebook app, you'll also need the Messenger
app. On both Android and iOS you can do this by scrolling down to near the
bottom of an app listing and tapping `Developer Apps' on iOS or `More by...' on
Android.
5 Make sure it's being supported
You
want an app you can rely on, which means you want one that's still being
supported and updated. Both Google Play and the App Store tell you when an app
was last updated. If it's been a few months that's not necessarily a big deal.
But if an app's not been updated in years that suggests the developer has
abandoned it.
6 Highlighted apps
Both
Apple and Google do their best to highlight new and interesting apps. On
Android that mostly takes the form of an `Editors' Choice' section, which is a
curated list of apps and games that the Google Play team particularly
recommend.i O S a l s o h a s a n ` E d it o r s ' Choice' section, along with
a variety of ever changing and updated collections and lists in different
categories, such as apps for your commute or for fashion lovers.
