Hi fellow app scouts, |
This week, we found a movie journal app that reached #2 in Japan just 15 days after launch, a live lyrics widget that lets you sing along anywhere, and a Duolingo-style Portuguese app with a capybara mascot. |
Let's get into it. |
isalo • Movie Journal App |
|
isalo turns the films you watch into little vintage ticket stubs. |
You can sort them by rating, watch date, venue, and your own notes. |
Launched 2 weeks ago, it is already #2 in Entertainment in Japan. |
LyricsFlow • Live Lyrics App |
|
LyricsFlow puts live lyrics on your home screen and lock screen, so you can follow along without opening the app. |
It also works with car displays and offers translations in multiple languages. |
Launched a week ago, it is already #16 in Taiwan and #17 in Hong Kong. |
Comigo • Language Speaking App |
|
Comigo is basically Duolingo for English, made for Portuguese speakers, with a capybara instead of an owl. |
Users practice English through conversations with the mascot, making the app feel more like speaking with a tutor than working through traditional language exercises. |
Released 6 days ago, it is already #11 in Education in Brazil and #15 in Portugal and Angola. |

Closer • Couples App |
|
Closer gives couples a daily question to answer separately. |
Once both people have answered, they can see each other's responses side by side. |
Launched 8 days ago, Closer is already #33 in Lifestyle in Taiwan. |
Unroll • Carousel Maker App |
|
Unroll turns your photos into collages and Instagram carousels. |
You can pick a template or make your own with text, stickers, and cutouts, then export the whole thing as one connected carousel. |
Launched 6 days ago, it is already #23 in Graphics & Design in India. |
