Android apps chosen for how well they last on a phone, not for how well they demo.
Trying an app costs nothing. Living with one is another matter. Worth Taking Home looks for the apps that are still comfortable after weeks of daily use: no clutter creeping in, no annoyance building, nothing you end up working around.
It does one job well, behaves the way its Google Play listing says, and its developer is still looking after it. A big name alone is not enough, and neither is a flashy first screen.
Pages are made ahead of time and kept simple, so they open quickly even on a slow connection. Handy when you are checking something on the move.
If an app has been on your phone for years and is missing here, or one of ours wore thin after a month, send a note through the contact form. Long-term experience is the most useful kind.
Apps that nag, apps that fade into the background after a week, cracked copies of paid software, and anything that borrows a name it has not earned. None of them are worth giving room on your phone.
Worth Taking Home is written by people who got tired of clearing out apps they had only just installed.
Entries get revisited when an app changes, and anything that stops holding up is taken off rather than left to waste someone's evening.
A good app is the one you stop noticing because it just works.
Worth Taking Home is operated by Celnet Technology Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
