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 is worth installing. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. Google Street View
Google has finally updated the Street View app with support for the iPhone X. As a result, the app is no longer surrounded by black bars at the top and bottom, but uses the full screen of the iPhone X.
In addition to support for the X, Google has also made improvements to the display of 360-degree panoramic photos in this update. This should make it easier and faster for all users to view 360-degree content in Street View. Previously, Google app Inbox also received such an update to make the app suitable for the new design that Apple uses on the iPhone X.
2. Nike Training Club
Nike Training Club has received a major update with support for the Apple Watch. Users can choose from over 180 free training courses to follow. Every training can be adjusted to your own training schedule and level of difficulty. The app is designed for the iPhone, but the update allows your Watch to be your personal trainer. The workouts vary from running training to yoga and various strength and endurance sports training.
Training from your Watch is done by starting a workout on your paired iPhone. On the watch you will then see the time or the number of repetitions that you still have to perform a certain exercise. Your heart rate, calories burned and other statistics are also displayed. The app will notify you when it is time to move on to a new exercise.
3. Guides by Lonely Planet
Lonely Planet brings its famous travel guides to your iPhone via the Guides by Lonely Planet app. Through this app you do not read all kinds of user reviews, but the writers of Lonely Planet tell you where to go. Much attention has been paid to the design of the app, including beautiful photos and clear texts.
The tips can be filtered between seeing, eating, sleeping, shopping, drinking and playing. In the latter category you should think of, for example, a location for live music or a cinema. It is nice that the cities can also be downloaded for offline use.
4.1888
The 1888 app takes you back to the days of disposable cameras. In the past, if you wanted to take pictures off, you had to go to the store to have your pictures developed with regularly overexposed flashes. 1888 automatically applies a filter to every photo you take via the app, making it look like it was taken with a disposable camera.
It is handy that you do not have to search for a suitable filter for every photo. 1888 itself chooses the most suitable ‘disposable camera filter’ for each picture. It is also possible to have photos from your photo gallery edited in the app, but for that you have to take a paid premium subscription. Photos are easy to share from the app via social media.
5. Goya-Move
Goya-Move forces children to go outside and move. How does the app do that? Very simple: the child’s iPhone is virtually rendered useless if they don’t. The internet connection of apps such as Instagram, Musical.ly, Snapchat and YouTube will be disabled.
As a result, the child only sees a white area when opening YouTube: no videos can be viewed. Only once children have taken a number of steps determined by the parents, the app will be usable again. Extra nice is that parents can individually ‘block’ and release apps. For example, if you always talk to your child via WhatsApp, that’s no problem.
