Hey — I'm Davor. I build mobile and web apps for a living, and I read far too much about this ecosystem. Mobile Apps Weekly is where I put the good stuff: one email every Wednesday with the most relevant news from the mobile app industry, for mobile developers and founders. No filler, no roundup of forty links you'll never open.
Here's the shape of a typical issue.
🚀 News
App Store Review Guidelines (10 min read)
Apple's rulebook for what ships and what gets rejected — worth re-reading whenever policy shifts. This section tracks exactly those moves each week: App Store and Play Store policy, EU DMA fallout, and the changes Apple and Google make without announcing.
🛠️ Code
Swift Evolution (5 min read)
Where the language is actually headed, proposal by proposal. Expect this section to surface the releases and techniques worth your time across Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, and Compose — plus the occasional writeup that rewards a real read rather than a skim.
@Observable
final class FeedModel {
private(set) var items: [Item] = []
func load() async throws {
items = try await api.fetchFeed()
}
}🧰 Tools
RevenueCat (3 min read)
In-app subscription infrastructure without building and maintaining the backend yourself — a fair example of the three-to-five tools I'll flag each week. Things I've actually used or seriously looked at, not whatever launched on Product Hunt.
📱 App of the Week
Things 3 (4 min read)
A masterclass in restraint and interaction detail. This is the kind of app the section pulls apart: what it does well, what it gets wrong, and what you can steal — design, onboarding, monetization, retention mechanics.
💰 The Numbers
State of Subscription Apps (12 min read)
RevenueCat's annual benchmark on what subscription apps actually earn — conversion, churn, pricing, real revenue. Exactly the App Store economics this section exists for. If you're building a business and not just an app, this is the part to read.
That's the format. If a section is thin one week, it doesn't run — I'd rather send you five good things than seven mediocre ones.
Thanks for subscribing. See you Wednesday.
— Davor
