Best new Android, iOS and Windows Phone apps for September 2012

September 2012 passed quickly and we’ll of course remember it with the new iPhone 5 and the ton handful of apps that got updated for the larger screen. Surely, we also saw one app that instantly became the most talked about in Apple history. We’re talking about Apple Maps, of course, the best app of the month... not.

So jokes aside, what were the really better apps to hit Android, iOS and Windows Phone this month? September won’t go down as the month with most impressive app releases this year, but there were some gems we tried to pick in the gutter.

Open Garden for Android that kicks off our selection is one of them - an app that makes it ridiculously easy to use your phone connection on your tablet. For the rest, check out the slideshow below.

9. Chameleon - Android - $10

The Chameleon launcher for Android is probably one of the most anticipated apps to come out recently with a massive Kickstarter campaign granting developers $60 to bring their great looking and location and time aware launcher to reality. It looks good but it still seems a bit raw - there are not as much widgets as we’d wish for.

Fresh Leaves is one of the prettiest live Android wallpapers we’ve seen, coming with plenty of customization options to justify the one buck you have to spend on it.
