Women make up 18 percent of the app developing industry, according to the job search site Zippia. That percentage is small and highlights the importance of seeking out and using apps that are developed by women. Contributing to the success of these apps may inspire women and girls to consider a career in the field of technology, especially in app development. To honor the cause, we’ve compiled a list of five popular and useful apps created by women.
1 Eventbrite (Free)
CEO Julia Hartz, along with her husband, co-founded this popular event management and ticketing website in 2006 and launched the app in 2014. Eventbrite provides you with a list of events that are happening in your area. You can save favorite events and even purchase tickets right in the app. A neat thing about Eventbrite app is that it replaces paper tickets by allowing you to use your iPhone to enter events.
2 Hey! VINA (Free)

LOCK YOUR APPLE ID WITH A PHYSICAL KEY
Security keys are physical items that can be used to verify your identity when logging into your Apple ID. If you are planning to use security keys, make sure you have at least two. Apple requires you use two, so that if you lose one, you will have another as a backup. At iPhone Life, a brand we recommend is the Yubico Yubikey 5Ci ($75).
IT'S TIME TO USE YOUR APPLE WALLET!
Apple Wallet lets you virtually store your credit and debit cards, rewards cards, boarding passes, movie tickets, and more all in one secure place.

WHY I DITCHED MY APPLE WATCH FOR THE OURA RING
Every morning for the past three months, I wake up wearing a shiny gold ring on my right pointer finger. If you look closely, you can see beams of red or green light leaking out the sides as it scans my heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. I roll out of bed, grab my phone, and open the Oura app.
THE BEST APPS OF 2024
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked by friends and family is “Which app should I download?” With millions of options out there, choosing which apps to use is a task that stumps many people. Will a free version overload you with ads? Is the paid version worth it?
OPINION: I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE WITH APPLE VISION PRO, AND IT SUCKS.
Color me a virtual-reality optimist. Alongside writing for iPhone Life, I’m a video game developer, 3D artist, and sci-fi author. I own a Meta Quest 3 and use it all the time to play games and view 3D models as I work.
