The app watchlist.

Good workflows start with good questions. Four apps announced by Apple. Four more on our research watchlist. Clear sources for both.

Watchlisted does not mean tested. We have not tested these apps on iPhone Duo hardware. Apple-announced entries link to the launch release; watchlist entries link to publisher features and do not establish Duo optimization. Alphabetical within each evidence group. No paid placements.
