The week is over and that means that a fresh app overview is waiting for you! As far as we are concerned, you should not miss these new apps, games and updates. You can find the best iOS apps from week 30 here.
The best iOS apps at a glance
The App Store works overtime every week to handle the never-ending stream of new apps and updates. However, you will hardly notice this, because only a small part of it is worth installing. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. AppEvent
AppEvent discusses apps that are temporarily free in the App Store on a daily basis. At the top of the app you will find the review of the day and news update, but you will also regularly find news items from the country of the app and interesting Kickstarter projects. New is the Today widget, with which you can check the review of the day from the Notification Center.
You set up the widget by opening the Notification Center on your iPhone or iPad, tapping ‘change’ and activating the AppEvent app there. According to the widget appears in the Today view.

2. Trusted Contacts
Google has also released its Trusted Contacts app for iOS. The idea behind this app is that you only add your most trusted contacts, such as family members and best friends. Then it is always possible to find out the location of each other.
Suppose a family member wants to know your location to see if everything is going well, then they request this in the app. You will then receive a message on your iPhone. Are you all right? Then you press the button and the family member will not see your location.

3. AH Product Scanner
Albert Heijn provides more background information about its products with the AH Productscanner app. With the help of augmented reality, the app shows the origin of, for example, a piece of salmon fillet. According to the supermarket chain, customers still have many questions about the ingredients of a product and what you can make with it.
However, all this information does not fit on the packaging, so Albert Heijn takes a different approach. By using the app to point your camera lens at a product, the app provides all kinds of useful and interesting information in augmented reality.

4. Domino Drop
Puzzle game Domino Drop is the free App of the Week. The game combines Tetris gameplay with dominoes and the result is original and entertaining. The idea is that you drop dominoes from top to bottom. If two halves of the same color and number touch each other, they disappear.
The decoration is immediately to fall in love with. There is a domino box on the table, from which you slide the lid. Then a device clicks into the box via USB that keeps track of the score.

5. Apple Store app
The Apple Store app has a small, but important update. The main improvement is the option to use Touch ID to pay with your Apple ID. The second improvement has to do with the stock of iPhones at the Apple Stores.
If you want to purchase an iPhone at a Dutch Apple Store, you can now check from the app whether the device is in stock. Handy, because it allows you to see more clearly whether it is worthwhile to drive to the Apple Store in Amsterdam, The Hague or Haarlem.

6. Linelight
How a puzzle with only lines and colors can still offer an adventurous feeling. Linelight does it just right. In the game, swipe your finger across the screen to drag an illuminated line in the right direction. That is always about a line.
Basically it is simple: you have to follow the line and avoid obstacles along the way. You also slide over links to move platforms and make enemy red lines work in your favor. In the meantime you collect colored checks.
