Employers want to know if you can do the job. To be blunt: oftentimes your resume doesn’t even get read, just scanned for keywords. Just like any other job, applying for freelance roles requires an up-to-date resume. Ultimately you’ll still have to show the dev team you’ve got the skills to do the job, so put your skills to work! A “Hello World” app has amateur written all over it. That said, I’d highly recommend releasing apps that provide use to some subset of mobile users. Oftentimes HR managers / recruiters just “check the box” that you have apps on the Play Store. It doesn’t even need many users or reviews. In my experience, your app doesn’t have to be grand. Having your own apps on the Google Play / App Store provides a good indication of both. They also want to see that you keep up to date with latest app development trends. Most companies, especially startups, like to see that you’re enthusiastic about Android / iOs app development outside of the job. Having your own apps on the Play Store and/or App store demonstrates that you have relevant experience for a job, and provides valuable stuff for your resume/social media. If you’ve just learned how to develop mobile apps, you don’t have any professional work experience yet for your resume/LinkedIn. The reason for this is twofold: Demonstrate experience Launch your own apps on the Play Store / App Store
