About Apps For Refugees
A hand-checked directory of the free apps that actually help refugees and migrants translate, find their way, scan documents and settle in.
Apps For Refugees publishes independent, hands-on reviews and buying guides for Refugees, asylum seekers and newly arrived migrants in Europe (Germany-centric, along the EU/Balkan route), plus the volunteers, NGO staff and aid workers who help them find and use the right free apps. We buy the products we recommend, test them in real conditions, and rank them on the criteria that matter — not on commission size.
How we test
Every review follows the same process: define the use-cases our readers care about, source competing products, test each against a consistent rubric, and document the trade-offs. When a product wins, we explain exactly who it's right for — and who should skip it.
