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 of it is worth installing. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. Do I choose Healthy?
At the start of the new year, many people want to eat healthier, something the Ministry of Health is happy to encourage. Reading labels in the supermarket is often too clumsy or takes too much effort, especially if you are looking for specific nutritional values. That is why the Kies Ik Healthy? App is very accessible: you can choose from a product scanner, which uses your iPhone’s camera to register the barcode, or a search function that allows you to browse through the entire range.
As soon as you start the app, you create a profile in two steps. Here you indicate which nutritional values ​​you want to pay particular attention to. This way you indicate exactly what is important to you: information about proteins, sugars, fats or salt, for example. Then you indicate at which supermarket you do your shopping. With this information, the app knows exactly which house brands should be displayed.

2. Who is the Mol? 2018
Who is the mole? 2018 kicked off last night, with a group of new candidates and a new mole. The iOS app has also been updated, so you can also play from home. The app has changed little compared to last year, except that all new candidates have been incorporated into it. Still, the app is a fun way to experience the series by competing with your friends.
The idea of ​​the app is that each week, before the new episode starts, you give out points to the candidates you suspect as the mole. If that candidate goes home in the next episode, you will lose the points you have bet. This means that you can use fewer points the following week. Any points you have wagered on candidates still in the game will be doubled.

3. Pillow
Pillow is not only the most beautiful, but also the nicest app to track your sleep. You can choose whether you only want to track your sleep or whether you also want to be woken up at the optimal time. The app can also record sound clips, for example if you want to hear or snore. Your sleep is measured by the movement of your body and the sounds you make.
The measurements are placed in a nice graph, where your light sleep, REM sleep, deep sleep and awake moments are tracked. Your sleep sessions also receive a quality score and you can indicate how you feel after that sleep via an emotion. The app has Apple Watch support so that your heart rate can also be monitored.
