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 best iPhone apps
The Apple App Store is working overtime every week. New apps, updates to existing applications and games appear all the time. You probably don’t notice this much, because most of the programs are not worth downloading. iPhoned therefore separates the wheat from the chaff every Sunday. Here are the best iOS apps, updates, and games from last week.
1. Kitty Letter
Matthew Inman, creator of the iconic game Exploding Kittens, is back with another gem. Kitty Letter is best described as a combination of the classic word game Scrabble with Clash Royale, the popular strategy game. You are in the process of collecting as many cats as possible.
You need as many furry friends as possible to repel opponent attacks, or to set up your own offensives. At the bottom of the screen you see letters with which you have to make words. The longer the word, the bigger your cat army.
2. Knightin+
Are you a fan of the classic Zelda games? Then you should give Knightin+ a try. This new game is clearly inspired by Zelda and has the same kind of gameplay and retro design. You take on the role of Sir Lootalot, an adventurer who makes his way through a variety of caves and dungeons.
In the meantime you defeat enemies, you have to be smart with the environment and collect better and better stuff. Every now and then you have to solve puzzles and at the end of each dungeon a boss is waiting for you. All this is provided with old 8-bit music and an entertaining story that you should take anything but seriously.
3. Paste Pal
PastePal is an incredibly powerful manager for your clipboard. The app keeps track of everything you’ve copied and syncs it between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This way you can copy something on your Mac(Book) and then use it directly on your iPhone. PastePal also keeps an archive, so you can also find previously copied things.
Extra handy is that you can place the app on macOS in a flexible window. With this option you can create a kind of mnemonic, as it were. The app automatically recognizes what type of content you’re copying, such as text, emoji, PDF files, and more. Moreover, you can label things so that you can easily find them. PastePal is not cheap: the app costs a tenner.
4. Workout Plan Bot
It looks like we still have to work out at home for a while. Those looking for new exercises to perform in the living room can go to Workout Plan Bot since last week. This app features over 100 types of exercises that you can all perform at home.
With the free version you can create up to three routines, for example a program for your lower body, upper body and one for endurance. The app works in tandem with Apple’s health features and when you’re done with the app you can export all your saved exercises in the accessible JSON format.
