Behind the Design: Rebel Girls
The Rebel Girls app uses immersive audio experiences, gorgeous art, and clever interactive elements to spotlight its historic heroines. โWeโre creating an omnichannel for girls,โ says Jes Wolfe, CEO of Rebel Girls. โThe app takes the best of our books, podcasts, and audio stories and puts them into a flagship destination.โ

Behind the Design: Wylde Flowers
This charming Apple Design Award-winning game is a cross-pollination of farming simulation, eerie mystery, optional love story, and exploration of tolerance and understanding. Also, youโre a witch who sometimes turns into a cat. โThe Wylde Flowers experience is a bit different for everybody,โ says Amanda Schofield, cofounder, creative director, and managing director of indie developer Studio Drydock. โItโs all about self-expression and self-exploration.โ

Developer Spotlight: Rootd
When she started having panic attacks as a university student, Ania Wysocka (pictured above) wanted "to look for an app that could explain what was happening to me,โ she says. But when the hypnosis and therapy apps she downloaded didnโt have what she was seeking, she decided to create Rootd to demystify panic attacks and bring on-the-spot relief.

Behind the Design: Overboard!
In the evocative murder mystery game Overboard!, you play not as the detective but the murderer most foul โ Veronica Villensey, a fading 1930s starlet whoโs tossed her husband off a cruise ship. To bring the story to life, artist and designer Anastasia Wyatt trawled into the rich potential of the gameโs vintage setting, pulling designs from 1930s fashion, magazines, and even sewing pattern books.

Behind the Design: Pok Pok Playroom
When the husband-and-wife team of Esther Huybreghts and Mathijs Demaeght first began dreaming up Pok Pok Playroom, they made a solemn vow: parents shouldn't need to mute the app in a restaurant. โWe didnโt want media and jingles and jangles that get stuck in your head,โ Huybreghts laughs. โWe wanted a quieter experience.โ
Behind the Design: Pok Pok Playroom
Pok Pok Playroom is a quiet feast for little senses. There are switches to flip, gears to grind, blobs to plop together, and bells to ring โ and those are just a handful of the animations designed to make the app feel like a tactile, handmade toy.

Developer Spotlight: Ground News
In 2017, Harleen Kaur launched Ground News, a news aggregator that helps you see how media outlets across the political spectrum are coveringโor ignoringโa topic. Not only does it let you read coverage from thousands of publications worldwide, it also shows the political bent of an article or outlet (which is ranked by a third-party service and Ground News users themselves).

Developer Spotlight: The Dyrt
Sarah Smith, an avid camper and cofounder of The Dyrt, was frustrated by how hard it was to find details on a campsite before you booked. She wanted to know that, say, site 2 was next to a busy road, while site 7 was along a river. She wondered why nobody seemed to be solving the problem. Then she had a thought that changed everything: โWhy canโt I do it?โ
