AppCenter Spotlight: 2017 Wrap Up

Take a look back at 2017 and each Spotlight app from the year

It was just earlier this year that AppCenter debuted pay-what-you-want apps to elementary OS, and it’s been a great year for apps.

After looking at the apps helping us beta test AppCenter in April and May, each month we focused in on a high-quality app, interviewed its developer, and helped tell their story. Let’s review and check back in on each of those apps as we prepare for a new year!

And remember, if an app is available for purchase, you can always pay more than the asking price to wish the developer an extra happy holiday season. ;)

This batch of apps was the very first to go through AppCenter Dashboard and get into the hands of beta testers. They helped us iron out any submission and automated testing issues as well as provided feedback for how we could make AppCenter Dashboard even better.

Vocal

Vocal was introduced as “one of the largest and most complex apps” we had tested in April, and that remains true to this day. It’s a truly impressive podcast app with iTunes store integration, streaming and downloading, audio and video support, and more. It’s been downloaded over 6,000 times so far this year.
