Looking for opinion,

I made an iPhone app on my spare time and am proud of my achievement in self learning. I want companies to know that I'm self driven and completed my own project. I was wondering where would be the best area to place a self-made mobile app on a resume? Create a separate project section?

I'm not sure it would be past work because I didn't really employ myself or anything, but I just want to mention somewhere on my resume that is noticeable enough to get companies interested.

Thanks!

Your question may not be well-received as @Renan pointed out in the comment, but... Absolutely put it on there! Make a "recreational highlights" section or something like that to show off your spare-time projects. I think that is a huge differentiator for a resume. Check out my resume for an example.
