An almanac for Android software, arranged by the calendar and the alphabet rather than by a chart.
Charts reward whatever is already popular. The App Digest borrows a slower habit from almanacs: a single app set aside for each day, and a plain alphabetical index for looking things up. You come across something new without scrolling past the same top ten again.
An app is picked because it is useful and does what it claims, never because a publisher paid for the spot. The index prints publisher and rating beside every name so you can judge it yourself.
Each page is prepared ahead of time as flat HTML, the way an almanac is printed before the year begins. Nothing loads in afterwards.
Put it forward through the contact form. Suggestions are read by the people who assemble each week.
Repackaged installers, cracked premium unlocks and apps passing themselves off under another publisher name. None of those get an entry.
The App Digest is put together by a few people who prefer reference books to feeds and wanted an app catalogue that reads like one.
The week turns over regularly, and entries for abandoned apps are removed from the index instead of being left to go stale.
A good index is a promise that you will find it where you expect it.
