November

None.

This is a bit disappointing, but due to life things and spending time on another project, my contributions basically dropped to zero after October 19th; and it's not exactly likely that this going to change for the rest of the quarter.

Still, we managed to add a total of 15 apps and games in the first half of the first quarter. This brought the count up to a total of 745 apps and games on November 15th, 2025.

A note on Bazaar

Bazaar, for the uninitiated, is a really great way to browse Flathub without a web browser - way quicker and nicer than GNOME Software. I would appreciate help with is creating a list of mobile-friendly apps for Bazaar's Favorites tab, as discussed on the fediverse.

Maintenance

Today, right before this post, we landed another "automated maintenance content.

If you want to help with maintenance, please note that aside from our checkers, lpa_helper can also edit an existing listing, if you don't want to edit TOML + Markdown by hand like an animal.

Thanks

First, I want to thank darkdragon-001 for improving our checkers once more - thank you for continued contributions!

Again, thanks go out to Max and for taking over the maintainership of the games list/the games listed! Thanks again for your great work!

What's in the works?

All The Mobile Apps

To just quote from two blog posts ago:

Obviously, it's a goal to monitor Flathub's Mobile Collection, and list most of its apps after evaluation. As it turns out, not all of the apps in the collection live up to the promises made in their Metadata. As it's a goal to improve this, writing kind issues upstream or, contributing patches, adds to our broader to do-list. [...] If you want to follow our progress (or chime in), this is the issue to watch.

Similar to the last time, progress on this has been slow, as of today, November 16th, 2025, we're at a count of 33 apps in Flathub's Mobile Collection (vs. 31 on October 5th) not listed on LinuxPhoneApps.org. Please make sure to read the relevant ticket, you may use services or have devices we do not and thus can make a serious difference in chiming in!

There's the idea to just add these apps - but some just can't be easily evaluated and will be added to the "needs testing" segment. Adding more than ten apps to that part of the site is problematic, as long as these apps show up in the app count - I don't want to inflate the app count artificially.

I want to help, where to get started?

If you read this last time, you can skip it, it's the same copy! ;-)

We do have a public issue tracker, that lists things that we aim to improve. https://programm.froscon.org/2025/system/event_attachments/attachments/000/000/911/original/linux-phone-apps-in-2025-highlights-and-room-for-improvement.pdf?1755362514 All relevant parts of LinuxPhoneApps live in one repository - the repo's README is hopefully helpful. Feel free to ask away in our Matrix room if you have questions!

Fixing existing app or game listings is just one click away (provided you have a framagit.org account) - every listing has an edit link at the bottom of the page.https://programm.froscon.org/2025/system/event_attachments/attachments/000/000/911/original/linux-phone-apps-in-2025-highlights-and-room-for-improvement.pdf?1755362514

So if you see that something is wrong, please take the time and help fix it - by fixing it, or by reporting it to the issue tracker or via e-mail.

Adding apps

LPA helper is still not properly integrated, but it works. If you have questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to ask/get in touch!
