The best iOS apps at a glance
The App Store is working overtime every week to process the endless stream of new apps and updates. However, you hardly notice this, because only a small part is worth installing. If your iPhone or iPad could use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. Darkroom
The fine photo editing app Darkroom in version 4.1 makes it easier to import photos and edit them. Now if you see a photo in the Photos app that you want to edit, you can immediately continue editing in Darkroom using the share feature. On the iPad, the app now supports ‘drag and drop’, so you can quickly import photos from another app by dragging.
If you come across photos in, for example, Documents or Dropbox, you can copy them directly to Darkroom from now on. Finally, Darkroom has made some improvements for easier sorting of edited images.
2. Assignments
Apple’s own Assignments app has a row of new and expanded shortcuts that you can set. The app now allows you to create even more Siri Shortcuts. For example, support for the Notes app has been added. Now you can add tasks like Create Note, Add to Note, Search Notes, and Show Note to an assignment.
In addition, the ‘Get travel time’ task now provides more details. Then you immediately know the name of the route, the arrival time and the distance. And now tapping the Library tab will automatically scroll to the bottom of your command list. This way you don’t have to scroll to get to a shortcut.
3. Rush Rally 3
The brand new racing game Rush Rally 3 is only a few days old, and the third installment has to be considered the best racing simulator for mobile ever in the Rush Rally series. The graphics, for example, have been greatly improved, so that mud and rain splashes fly around you even more.
Rush Rally 3 gives you 72 brand new levels where you complete a race track on asphalt, gravel or in the snow or mud. New is the career mode, in which you work towards an increasingly better car and racing skills. Or race against others in competitive mode in Rally Cross mode, where you play multiplayer in real-time. To top it all off, the controls of the game, which you can fully adjust to your own taste.
4. iMDb Movies & TV
If you’re looking for recommendations for a new movie or series, or simply want to see how good or bad a movie is rated, iMDb is the app. The Internet Movie Database app makes it a lot easier to navigate between different genres or movies thanks to the latest update.
New swipe gestures have been added, so you can always go back by sliding from left to right, for example. Or swipe down to close a photo or trailer. In addition, the genre overview for TV series has been expanded considerably.
