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 4 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 separates the wheat from the chaff every Sunday. Here are this week’s best iOS apps, updates, and games.
1. Spotify
Do you want to listen to the same music with a colleague while working from home? Which can! That is, if you both have Spotify. The music service has expanded group sessions, a feature announced a few months ago. From now on you can also listen to the same playlist remotely with others.
You need a minimum of two and a maximum of five others for this. While listening, tap the Connect icon (recognizable by the speaker) and scroll down. Then tap ‘Start a group session’ and share the link with your colleagues, family and/or friends.
2. Attentive letter 1942
Attentat 1942 is a unique game in which survivors tell you about the second world war through their personal stories. The game is historically correct and tells the true story of a grandson who tries to find out why his grandfather was arrested by the Gestapo.
The game alternates gameplay, which mainly consists of puzzling and story-following, with cinematic interviews. The makers have also added historical images. Attentat 1942 is set in 1942 Czechoslovakia, just after Nazi leader Reinhard Heydrich was killed. The game has been awarded several prizes and is very rewarding.
3. Microsoft Family Safety
Microsoft has released an iOS app that keeps families (online) safe. Family Safety allows parents, among other things, to set filters that prevent children from simply accessing websites with potentially inappropriate content. And are your little ones trying to download something that isn’t acceptable? Then you will receive a notification.
Furthermore, Microsoft Family Safety is a competitor to Apple’s Screen Time. With Microsoft’s alternative, it is also possible to keep track of how many hours a day you (and your family) stare at screens. A unique advantage of Family Safety is that the app also keeps track of how long children spend behind their Xbox.
4. Boxing Manager
Are you crazy about boxing and a good coach? Then you should give Boxing Manager a try. This game is quite similar to Football Manager, but for boxing. The aim of the game is to train your fighters, make them win matches and expand your gym.
Before that happens, you’ll have to invest blood, sweat and tears to make your fighters appear in the ring as best as possible. You can enlist the help of (specialized) trainers, make training schedules and work together on competition tactics. In the meantime, you should also pay attention to the financial management of your gym.
