We're always on the hunt for promising new apps – for the clever designs and innovations that make life more enriching, efficient and entertaining. Here are the rising stars and just-launched gems that we're most excited about right now.

The newly revamped Adobe Express brings powerful design capabilities straight to your fingertips – now with generative AI and text-to-image features to make your next project a breeze. Create social media posts, eye-catching logos, invitations to your next party and videos featuring real-time captions, all using approachable tools and templates.

Nurture your green fingers with GrowIt, an app that helps both budding and experienced gardeners care for plants.

Boost your emotional wellbeing with Blissful Journal, a thoughtfully designed mood tracker that helps you to record your thoughts and emotions. Jot down details of your day – like where you spent the most time and who you spent it with – to identify mood patterns and learn about yourself through insightful analytics.

Explore the world around you alongside your furry best friend with the help of Pawsome. Discover fellow dog lovers (sitters included) in your area, plus pet-friendly spots where you and your best bud can make new park friends, grab a bite and more. You can also find out where to shop for toys and treats, and share photos of your adventures together with the community.
