The new week is just around the corner, but before that, let’s take a look back at the last seven days. The editors of iPhoned has rounded up the best iOS apps, games and updates from last week.
Last week’s 5 best iOS apps
The App Store is working overtime every week. New apps, updates for existing programs and games are added all the time. You probably don’t notice this much, because most of it is not worth downloading. iPhoned therefore separate the wheat from the chaff every Sunday. Here are this week’s best iOS apps, updates, and games.
1. Filmic DoubleTake
Do you want to film with your selfie camera, wide-angle lens and ultra-wide-angle lens at the same time? It can be the app FilMiC (Pro) Doubletake. The Pro version costs 16.99 euros, but a free version of this app has also appeared in the App Store. This makes it possible to use different lenses at the same time. The app is compatible with the iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro (Max).
By tapping the bottom left of the screen, you choose two lenses with which you will film. Once you have chosen this one, confirm your choice. At the top right of the screen you can also choose the view in which you see the video: a split-screen or picture-in-picture, where you see one camera over the full screen, and one in a smaller screen. You can move the small screen over the big screen.
2. Scroll
Scroll allows you to read articles from websites without ads. The app legally removes advertisements and costs about 4.50 euros per month. More than 300 websites are participating, but Dutch parties are still missing.
The service is available for iPhone, iPad and mac. After you have set up the apps once, you don’t have to worry about them anymore. It also has integrations with social media apps like Facebook and Twitter. When you open an article from a participating website through these apps, the ads will be dropped. Knowing more? Then read our extensive article about Scroll.
3. Doggy Dating
There are a lot of apps for dog owners, but DoggyDating does something special that makes the app feel indispensable. The focus of the app is, as the name implies: planning dates between dogs. That’s not about dates like on Tinder, but about play or walking dates.
So you don’t have to swipe left or right on that labrador with beautiful brown eyes, but propose a location and time and choose who can participate. The app therefore has some useful sections, such as ‘DoggyAssist’. In this, dog owners ask each other for advice about specific situations. Many dog owners run into the same situations and can therefore give advice as experienced experts. Do you want to know more? Read our in-depth review of the DoggyDating app!
4. SpellTower+
If you like word games and puzzles, SpellTower+ is the place for you. It is a variation of the traditional word search, but without a glossary. You draw a line over the letters that make up a word. The longer the word, the more points you get.
You can also cross it diagonally. Words must be three letters or longer. If you use a blue letter in a word, you remove a whole row of letters. Your task is to have as few letters as possible.
5. Dungeon Faster
The card game Dungeon Faster has been out for Android for a long time, but can now also be downloaded as an iOS app. Each round you choose a class and your cards. You then enter a room where you can find all kinds of bonuses that will help you in the following rounds.
You also have to find the exit yourself. Finally, a large enemy appears in the room. You try to beat him with your cards. By progressing you also earn better cards, which also allows you to defeat stronger enemies. An addictive game for hours of fun.
