The week is over and that means a fresh app overview is waiting for you! You should not miss out on these new apps, games and updates. The best iOS apps of week 20 can be found here.
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 for the best iOS apps.
1. Kernel
Kernel focuses on one thing as best it can: the app keeps track of all upcoming movie releases. As a result, the app helps you to both stay informed about new films, but also never forget when a title is in the cinema or available online.
Once you’ve chosen a movie, it will appear on your personal ‘watch list’ with a clock counting down to the day the movie will be available. In addition to notifications for release dates, you will also find an extensive blog full of film reviews, opinion pieces, new trailers and more in the paid version of the app (one-time 2.29 euros).
2. Steam Link
It’s taken a long time, but Valve is finally bringing the Steam Link app to the iPhone and iPad. With Steam Link, you stream games over your network from your PC to your iDevice, allowing you to play games with a linked controller or the touchscreen that would normally never run on an iPhone or iPad.
Because the game runs via a stream from your PC, you can play graphics-heavy games that would otherwise only be playable on a PC. All you need to do is connect your Apple device to Steam on your PC and you can start playing.
3. The Gardens Between
Another great puzzle game with a storyline has appeared in the App Store with The Gardens Between. Best friends Arina and Frendt embark on a journey through mysterious gardens together. Everywhere they come across objects from their own childhood. These tell the story of their friendship and what they had to say goodbye to.
This story unfolds through the puzzles you have to solve, using these objects. Make sure you manipulate time to solve all the puzzles and reach the culmination of each puzzle island. The game has more than 20 islands to play through.
4. Phone book
Phonebook ensures that you never have duplicate contacts or wrong phone numbers in your contact list. This smart contacts app is in fact the app successor to the well-known paper telephone directory. The moment someone from your contact list changes his number or other details, Phonebook automatically implements these changes.
This way you will never have duplicate contacts, outdated telephone numbers or incomplete information in your list again. You also choose which data you share with others via the app. This way you can choose which contacts will or will not receive your new phone number.
