Apps a person checked come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.

What these 75 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 75.

What to look for

Native here means built with Apple's own tools rather than a web wrapper such as Electron, by its maker's word. Native apps tend to follow Mac conventions, but check each one yourself.
