On the App Store
The App Store's Today tab carries stories about apps, and its charts show what is being downloaded. Search finds apps by name and by what they do.
On iPip
Today's launches are new iPhone and iPad apps, one launch day each, ordered by votes from people. Past days are under Winners, and every app has its own page. Browse by device and category, or read Best of iPip, lists built from real apps and ordered by votes, never by payment. iPip lists 12 live apps today.
How to judge a new app
Look at the screenshots on the device you use, read what the maker says it is for, and check the price and any in-app purchases on its App Store page before you download.
This part is our opinion: a small app from one maker is often the best answer to a narrow problem, and it is easiest to find on the day it launches.
