About YahHeardIs YahHeard a big company?

No — YahHeard is an independent developer, and the site never pretends otherwise. That means honest statuses, no invented team pages and no marketing theatre; it also means every app gets personal attention.

About YahHeardWhy the name "YahHeard"?

The name is the promise: when something here is worth your time, you'll have heard. It also nods to the idea that good software earns word-of-mouth rather than buying attention.

App AvailabilityWhich YahHeard apps can I download right now?

None yet. Several projects are finished and marked Released, but Released means the build is complete, not that it is in a store. A download or store button appears on a project's page only when a real one exists.

App AvailabilityWhen will the apps be in a store?

When each one is genuinely ready, including testing on real phones. YahHeard deliberately avoids announcing dates it cannot be certain of; each project page shows an honest status instead.

App AvailabilityWhat do the statuses mean?

Released: the build is finished and feature-complete. Active Development: being built now, with no public build yet. Beta: a feature-complete build being tested. Prototype and Experiment: early work kept in the open, which may never be finished. None of them means the project is in a store; a store or download button says that.

App AvailabilityWill YahHeard apps be free or paid?

It varies by app and is decided at release. What's already decided: no advertising SDKs, no dark patterns, and paid apps are paid once — UK Festival Survivor's build, for example, fails automatically if an ad SDK sneaks in.

App AvailabilityWill there be iPhone versions?

Current projects are built for Android, Windows and the web. iPhone versions are not in development, and the site will say clearly if that changes.
