The top July 2021 mobile ideas range from portable video games to audio-focused online communities and enhanced features for connecting with mobile content.
Breweries, fashion labels and fast-casual restaurants are releasing their own mobile games to engage their communities and show off styles that range from nostalgic and retro to future-thinking with augmented reality. Many of these games are focused around rewards programs and offering incentives for playing, or simply supporting meaningful causes.
Audio-only communities are growing in popularity thanks to apps like Clubhouse but there are now even more places for people to lead and join casual conversations via their mobile devices. Some of the newest examples of these apps include Dabel and Spotify Greenroom, a place for chatting all things music, sports and culture.
