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 49 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. Command & Conquer: Rivals
Rivals is definitely not the game you may be used to from Command & Conquer, but it does have a lot of familiar elements. For example, you place buildings in your base to create specific units, collect tiberium as a resource and send your troops out to destroy the opponent’s base.
However, the scale in Rivals is a lot smaller than in the old Command & Conquer games. Everything revolves around two small bases, a missile silo in the middle and your troops. Still, the game is much more than Clash Royale with a Command & Conquer skin, and that works out remarkably well.
2. PostNL
Although we are sending less and less real postcards to each other, many of course do this around the holidays. To celebrate this time of year, the PostNL app has a handy feature in store for you. It is possible to send a Hallmark ticket via the app, which you can then send immediately. You pay 2.55 euros for the ticket and that includes the stamp.
It goes like this. When you start the latest version of the PostNL app, you will immediately see the option ‘Create a ticket!’ appear on the screen. Tap this, after which you have to choose a photo for the card. When you’re done, enter the recipient’s address and pay.
3. Ecosia
Ecosia is a German search engine that, like all other search engines, makes money by serving you advertisements. If you click on an ad, Ecosia will receive a certain amount. It is true that the ‘social enterprise’ wants to earn as much money as possible, but that is not because the company wants to get rich. After all, every euro that is made in profit goes to nature conservation projects.
If you want to support Ecosia, you can do so simply by using the search engine. By clicking on an interesting ad, you indirectly donate to the company. The iOS app works like any other search engine. Search results and ads are provided by Bing, which is from Microsoft.
4. Spitkiss
Spitkiss is about creatures who fall in love at first sight. That moment is visualized in different levels, in which you maneuver spit from one character to another to convey messages.
That sounds dirtier than it is. In practice, Spitkiss is simply an original puzzle platform game with a nice decoration. The app can be downloaded from the App Store via the button below for € 2.29.
