New Apps Worth Your Attention

Although Minority Report has always been dedicated to discovering and introducing high-quality apps across platforms, there are still many apps—with outstanding design, features, interactions, and user experience—that have yet to be uncovered and showcased by us. They may be long-standing apps, or they may be newly released. We’ll introduce them here for you.

GO Club: Supporting a Healthier Life, Starting With Walking and Hydration

• Platform: iOS / watchOS
• Keywords: Fitness & Health

@Vanilla: Over the past year, I’ve personally experienced the benefits of taking a walk after meals—who would have thought that maintaining a low-intensity routine of just 40 minutes a day could produce such noticeable results? GO Club is a minimalist-style health and fitness app whose core features are step tracking and water-intake logging, enhanced by modern AI technology to assist with exercise planning. Naturally, I was intrigued, hoping it could help me further optimize my good habit of post-meal walking. It’s also worth noting that despite being newly launched, GO Club has already been shortlisted for this year’s App Store Awards.

The first time you open GO Club, the app walks you through setting up your fitness goals: primary objective, duration, weight-loss target, current activity level, weekly frequency, and daily step goals. After granting permission to sync with Apple Health, you’re taken to the main interface.

GO Club’s latest version supports the Liquid Glass design. The bottom navigation bar contains three tabs: Steps, Plan, and Profile. In the Steps tab, the app displays your walking data—steps, distance, calories, and flights climbed—with day, week, and month views. Tapping any bar in the chart reveals the detailed data for that period, and the upper-left corner updates to show days that met your goal, overall completion rate, daily target, and comparisons.

In the upper-right corner of the Steps tab is a water-cup icon—tap it to enter the hydration tracker. Here, you can set your daily water-intake goal, add water-intake logs, review your history, and monitor your current progress in real time.

In the Plan tab, GO Club creates walking plans based on your goals, activity history, and local factors such as GO Clubld Hour. It generates a weekly schedule with daily targets for distance, duration, and step count, guiding you step-by-step toward your long-term health goals.

In the Profile tab, you can adjust your daily step and hydration targets, as well as customize elements such as Focus Mode appearance, shoe icons, and cup designs to better personalize your experience.

GO Club is a beautifully designed fitness app available for free on the App Store. If—like me—you hope to use walking as a sustainable long-term approach to better health, you might consider the GP Plus subscription, which unlocks advanced features such as AI-generated plans, Home Screen widgets, and Focus Mode.

Picmal: One-Click Media Format Conversion

• Platform: macOS
• Keywords: Media Processing, Format Conversion

@化学心情下2: Picmal is a multimedia format conversion app for macOS that I recently discovered. Compared to long-standing professional conversion tools, its biggest strength is its simple, intuitive workflow.

No complicated steps or settings—just select a file and get the format you need. With built-in queue support, you can also batch-convert multiple files at once, significantly improving efficiency.

Beyond format conversion, Picmal also supports compression for media files. You can adjust the quality of an image or change the resolution of a video. The app applies default presets for images, audio, or video during compression, and, of course, batch compression is supported as well.

If you need more fine-grained control over compression quality (the default for audio and video is 85%), you can manually adjust parameters in the settings menu. For images, switch the “Compression quality setting” to “Customize” to individually configure compression levels for different formats. For audio and video, you can adjust quality percentages or enable Advanced mode to further refine bitrate, resolution, and more.

You can download Picmal from its official website. A single-device lifetime license costs $9.99 USD.

Scanve: Tap-to-Search for Effortless Vocabulary Learning

• Platform: Android
• Keywords: Vocabulary Learning

@Peggy_: The rapid rise of AI has given birth to many excellent apps. CapWords, developed by a Chinese team, has surged in popularity and even made the shortlist for the App Store Awards 2025. This proves that although foreign-language learning apps are numerous, there is still plenty of room for creativity and quality. Similar to CapWords, Scanve aims to make English vocabulary learning more casual and accessible in everyday life.

Scanve’s core functionality can be summed up simply: take a photo, tap to select, let the app recognize the object, and then translate it. Users can save translated items afterward. When you first launch the app, its onboarding screens clearly explain its main features, and you’ll need to grant camera and other necessary permissions. From the main interface, you can switch the target translation language. According to the developers, the app currently supports high-accuracy translation for more than 30 languages, which means its use cases go far beyond just Chinese–English translation.

Using it is straightforward—point your phone at the object you want to identify, select it with the on-screen selection box, then tap the shutter. The app analyzes the object and instantly generates a recognition result, providing translations in the two selected languages and even pronouncing the word in the target language. If the object has an irregular shape, you can freely adjust the selection box to improve recognition accuracy.

After recognition, Scanve allows you to save the item and generate a vocabulary list. For words in your list, Scanve further creates flashcards to strengthen memory. As your vocabulary grows, the built-in matching mode can be used as a mini-game for word and position-matching practice.

In terms of visual polish, Scanve still lags behind CapWords; however, as a utility-focused app, it integrates recognition, saving, memorization, and practice as effectively as possible—definitely helpful for vocabulary learning. Another app in the same category, KaChiKa JA, further extends this learning chain from words to full sentences, making it an even better option for learners focused specifically on Japanese.

You can download Scanve from the Play Store. The app is currently completely free.

HarmonyOS StarRiver Connect: Seamless Sharing With Apple Devices — Even Live Photos Work Without Being on the Same Wi-Fi

• Platform: iOS / iPadOS
• Keywords: HarmonyOS, File Transfer

@侧脸君: Following Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo, Huawei has now introduced cross-device file sharing between HarmonyOS 6 and Apple devices. Huawei devices must be updated to HarmonyOS 6 (build suffix 112 or above), while Apple devices need to install the HarmonyOS StarRiver Connect app.

After enabling Huawei Share on the HarmonyOS device and switching it to “Visible to all”, you can open StarRiver Connect on the iOS device, and the Huawei device will appear directly in the share sheet. You can also add the app shortcut to Control Center and move StarRiver Connect to the front of the system share options to make file transfers easily accessible from any screen.

In actual use, two things stood out as particularly impressive. First, the app has no network requirement — file transfers work even when the two devices are not on the same Wi-Fi network. When you select a file and choose a target device, a prompt appears asking whether to “allow the device to join the local network.” After confirming, the file transfer proceeds normally.

Second, Live Photos can be shared across platforms. Live Photos taken on Huawei devices retain full motion playback when sent to iOS, and you can edit them, change their key photo, or export them as videos just like native iOS Live Photos. However, in testing, Live Photos taken on iOS only appeared as static images on HarmonyOS, so it’s unclear whether this is a limitation or just an isolated issue.

Currently, the HarmonyOS StarRiver Connect app is not yet available for Mac. While Macs with M-series chips can download the iPad version from the App Store and even see other devices in the share list, files cannot be successfully transferred at this time. Mac users will need to wait for an official version optimized for macOS.

You can download the HarmonyOS StarRiver Connect app from the App Store.

FitWoody 2: Your Everyday Health Coach

• Platform: iOS / watchOS
• Keywords: Fitness & Health, Health Tracking

@Snow: Most fitness-tracking apps are built to push you to “outperform yourself”—walk farther, run longer, burn more calories, and constantly chase higher goals. Yet this “faster, higher, stronger” competitive-sports mindset doesn’t necessarily align with the needs of everyday people whose primary goal is simply staying healthy. Blindly pursuing numerical breakthroughs can even introduce health risks. The newly released FitWoody 2.0 aims to become a more human-centered AI health coach. Instead of demanding perfection or pushing you toward ever-higher targets every day, it focuses on helping you understand your body and build consistent long-term habits that make you a better version of yourself.

FitWoody 2.0 redesigns its UI around iOS 26’s Liquid Glass aesthetic, highlighting three key parts: daily stats, fitness-goal progress, and the all-new Health Passport. On first launch, the app presents a series of multiple-choice questions to assess your physical condition. Powered by its AI engine, your daily activity target will automatically adjust based on your sleep, recovery, and stress levels. On the main screen, FitWoody presents a concise text summary telling you whether today is the day to burn a little extra or to call it early and rest instead.

Below this summary you’ll find metrics related to calorie expenditure, sleep performance, heart-rate variability, and other metabolic indicators. If you already have a good understanding of your physical capabilities, you can manually adjust your plan based on this data.

Tap the “Run” button in the top-right corner to open your workout log, which includes workout duration, calories burned, route, cardio reports, heart rate, and more. FitWoody also provides written summaries and recommendations for each workout to help you fine-tune your intensity.

In the second tab, you can set personalized fitness goals in four dimensions: distance, elevation, workout duration, and workout frequency. FitWoody calculates recommended goal values based on your past activity and your chosen time period, though manual adjustments are always available. After setting your goals, you can track your completion rate, progress, and trend charts.

The third tab introduces the new Health Passport. In addition to your basic profile, it displays year-based statistics that summarize twelve months of fitness data through polished, insightful charts. You can see how metrics such as aerobic capacity, workout type distribution, and sleep quality evolve over time—offering a long-term view of your physical development.

FitWoody uses a “free + in-app purchase” model. Advanced analytics and long-term insights require a subscription, currently available at a discounted ¥56.8/year. However, I strongly recommend that users of mainland China iPhones hold off for now. Due to Apple’s privacy model, FitWoody relies on Foundation Models for its health insights; at this stage, most mainland users will repeatedly encounter the same “Welcome back,” followed by various “unable to generate analysis” results. It’s better to wait until Apple Intelligence officially rolls out before deciding whether it’s worth subscribing.

You can download FitWoody from the App Store.

Unmissable App Updates

Beyond “new” apps, many long-standing favorites in the App Store continue to iterate and evolve, adding more interesting and practical features. At sspai, we aim to help you filter out noteworthy updates so you can quickly understand what’s new from apps and their developers.

Lightroom Mobile: Major Update with Multiple Practical Features

• Platform: iOS / iPadOS / Android
• Keywords: Image Editing, AI Assistance

@ElijahLee: Both the iPad and iPhone versions of Lightroom recently received several highly practical updates, including adaptive landscape presets, assisted culling, and automatic dust removal.

First, eight adaptive landscape presets have been added—covering skies, waterscapes, snow scenes, and more. Powered by AI, Lightroom can now automatically identify different landscape elements in your photos, including newly supported skies, water, and snow, as well as people, food, architecture, and others. After detecting these elements, adaptive presets will adjust detail parameters and visual effects accordingly. With a single tap, you can instantly apply a curated look. In addition to presets, the Masking tool can also use AI to automatically detect skies, waterscapes, snow, and create independent masks for each element for further fine-tuning.

Lightroom has also added object detection to its Remove tool. Users only need to roughly brush over the person or object they want to remove, and the app will automatically detect the selected subject and analyze associated shadows, reflections, and related elements. This results in a much cleaner, more natural, and more precise removal.

Compared with manual selection, this AI-assisted feature significantly improves accuracy and workflow efficiency. Beyond strengthened removal tools, Lightroom now also offers generative repair and clone capabilities. It can remove unwanted elements, intelligently fill backgrounds, fix damaged areas, and replicate textures and details—all while keeping the overall image consistent and natural, enabling users to complete complex retouching tasks with ease.

Lightroom Desktop and Web versions also introduced several new features. First up is color labels—you can now tag photos with colors such as red, blue, or yellow, making it easier to organize and filter images by color. This is especially helpful when managing large photo libraries or doing initial culling. Assisted culling allows the app to automatically identify your best photos based on criteria like subject focus, eyes open, and more, greatly improving selection efficiency. The Dust Removal tool can detect lens dust and help manually remove its impact on your final image.

You can download Lightroom for iPad and iPhone from the App Store. Premium features—such as the Remove tool, Lens Blur, and Masking—are unlocked through a subscription at $4.99/month, with a 7-day free trial.

Little Star Accounting 3.7: A Major Update Is Coming Soon

• Platform: Android
• Keywords: Bookkeeping

@大大大K: The Android version of Little Star Accounting recently rolled out updates 3.7.0 and 3.7.1. According to the developer, this update serves as the final transition phase before the major 4.0 release. It focuses on ensuring data compatibility so users can upgrade—or roll back—smoothly while keeping all data secure. In addition, the 3.7 series includes several experience optimizations. Let’s take a look.

During the recent food-delivery promotions, many of us likely picked up plenty of bargains. I tried ordering several times through JD Daojia. Although the experience wasn’t great, the prices indeed were. Little Star’s automatic bookkeeping can already recognize JD Wallet and JD Finance bills, but previously didn’t differentiate the JD Food Delivery category. With this update, users can now control JD Food Delivery recognition independently in the automatic bookkeeping settings. Little Star has also adapted to UI changes across various payment apps that occurred during this period.

Another optimization to the automatic bookkeeping feature focuses on SMS recognition. Little Star Accounting previously allowed reading SMS content from the clipboard for transaction recognition, but it could only be triggered from the main screen. However, many times we may have been browsing the transaction list or managing accounts, and switching back to Little Star prevented the trigger. Now, the app expands recognition triggers to more screen contexts, making manual SMS-based bookkeeping far more convenient. Do note, however, that this may cause your phone’s clipboard privacy prompts to appear more frequently.

Additionally, for auto-generated balancing records (such as refunds or adjustments), users can now hide them in the settings for a cleaner interface. For devices where the system displays duplicate app icons, Little Star also thoughtfully provides icon-display control, ensuring users of the “classic style” notification bar won’t see two identical icons anymore.

You can now download Little Star Accounting for free on CoolAPK. It is also highly recommended to update to this version to ensure a seamless transition to 4.0 later on.
