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 47 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 or iPad can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. Netflix
Netflix for iOS has received a very simple update with major consequences. Binge watching just got easier. Thanks to three improved navigation functions, you can now quickly skip through a movie or series by tapping left or right. This allows you to fast forward or backward ten seconds, as we already know from YouTube.
The pause and play buttons have been made a lot bigger. Labels have been added to enable easier subtitles or to select new episodes. Waiting for the click-through button to appear in the credits is no longer necessary, now that a ‘Next Episode’ button has been added. This way you can skip to the next episode of your favorite series at any time.
2. Tick
Sending a Tikkie has never been easier, now that you only need the 06 number of the recipient. The ABN AMRO payment app allows you to transfer money in this way from now on. As a result, you can now easily transfer money to other Tikkie users in your contact list, even if you do not know their bank account number.
This is possible because you enter both your account number and your telephone number when setting up the app. This way you can pay someone in advance, without having to wait for a payment request from them. This also means you never have to create a new contact in your own banking app to transfer money. The only condition is that the other also has a Tikkie account.
3. Pepper.com
Not only during Black Friday you can get discounts and deals at shops. There are tons of apps that track down and display discounts, but Pepper.com’s app is by far the largest and most comprehensive. What is special is that this app does not depend on updates from the developer, but is supplemented by the users themselves.
When someone sees a discount code or offer and adds it in the app, other users can vote for it. This way, the best and most popular deals come out on top. You can also see which offers generate the most responses, although this is not always positive.
Are you looking for a specific offer or product? For this you can easily set up alerts for certain keywords. This way you will not be spammed about all kinds of deals, but you will only receive notifications of discounts that you are looking for.
4. Darkroom
If like us you are a fan of camera app Halide, then the photo editing app Darkroom is the perfect addition. The app has had a significant expansion, and works seamlessly together with Halide, among other things. This makes Darkroom ideal for editing the RAW photos you shoot with Halide with the endless amount of editing tools.
The best thing about Darkroom is that it offers the possibility to adjust the depth of field of portrait photos, even if you do not have an iPhone XS or XR. This way you can also create a bokeh effect with an older iPhone. In addition, you can easily share multiple photos with the same editing, and you can have the app automatically paste frequently used hashtags.
