Each entry sums up the developer's notes and the official store listing for that version; the listing has the final word. Rows without a link are sample entries whose pages are not part of this prototype.
Tips this week
New this issue: Windows
This is the first issue with Windows software in it. Store apps such as VLC UWP get a Microsoft Store button and the facts the Store publishes. Tools that have no store listing, such as 7-Zip, get facts from the winget and Chocolatey package registries and a button that opens a Google search, so you can pick the developer's own site. We never link to a file on a third-party site.
How we write the digest
Each week I check the store listings of the apps our readers use most: the version, the update date and the developer's notes on Google Play, the App Store or the Microsoft Store. When an app changes, I use it for a few days and write up what changed and whether to act, in plain words, with a button to the official listing. Desktop tools with no store listing get a Google search for the developer's own site instead. AppDigest Weekly is independent and not affiliated with any developer; nothing is installed from this site and no page reads your phone or accounts.
