Star Realms is pretty good for a quick few rounds during downtime.

Not only for a quick one, be careful... According to the stats by the app, I played like ... 14000 matches, hm.
Ascension is my most played by far. It's one of the earliest deckbuilders and the first one (I think) with the river-style market which has been used in many other deckbuilders since. The developers have done a great job exploring various mechanisms in the expansions over the years and most of the content is available in the digital version too. My favorite sets are the ones that use Insight (the amber gems): Dreamscape, Delirium, Deliverance.
Besides the game mechanics the great art, music and the smooth app make it very chill and enjoyable for me.
Though choice! I choose Sagrada just because of how much I like the real game and how well made is the digital version, but Ascension, Mystic Vale, and Through the Ages are close.
Still Carcassonne, but the old version done by the Coding Monkeys: https://apps.apple.com/app/id375295479
I fear it’s not sold anymore, and has been replaced by a modern 3D version.
Coffee Roaster with Ganz Shön Clever and Onirim pulling up behind it.
I just went on a rollercoaster... Never knew there was an app for Coffee Roaster. Went to download it on android. "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android" :(
The Dominion app. That shit made me learn strategies really quickly
The Dominion app is great. It is also cross buy with the Dominion PC version on Steam, and the price on the Android store is usually a bit lower.
The Root implementation is good. My personal favorite though is still Twilight Struggle.
Big fan of the Burgle Bros app. It made me realize that was playing the physical game wrong in a few ways.
Runner up is Fury of Dracula. It's the only way I get to play that one, since none of my gaming crew wants to play it with me....
Through the Ages is great but damn, even the easy AI destroys me
It used to be Neuroshima Hex, but the new App has only a fraction of the available armies and deployment of the remaining is really slow.
Then there's still Galaxy Trucker which is very true to the Boardgame with usability upgrades for screen and an actual campaign.
