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 separate the wheat from the chaff every Sunday. Here are this week’s best iOS apps, updates, and games.
1. Distractionless
Are you always easily distracted? Distractionless is especially for the Apple Watch and helps you to concentrate. The app lets you set a timer for a specific time. During that time you have to focus, and you can therefore no longer do anything with your Apple Watch.
You set certain ‘focus blocks’ yourself in which you want to concentrate. When the time is up, the Watch will let you know by means of a vibration and sound. Yet the app also relies on your own discipline: you can pause or stop the timer yourself if necessary.
2. Outsider: After Life
Are you good at solving puzzles and mysteries? Then you should try Outsider. Humanity has mysteriously disappeared for centuries. In a last-ditch effort to save the world, an accident happens and a robot is brought back to life.
The robot has therefore been given the important task of saving the universe. By solving puzzles you are taken into the story, which mainly takes place in one take. It took the makers four years to make the app, and you can definitely see that in the game.
3. Away: Journey to the Unexpected
Away: Journey to the Unexpected was first released for Nintendo Switch before making its App Store debut this week. In this anime style adventure game, you are in control of a character who is not yet good at fighting. The character is good at making friends quickly.
That skill is much needed, because that way you can befriend up to eight other characters, each with their own skill. Think of a tree that throws mines, a robot that can shoot and a short-sighted wizard who throws fireballs. This light-hearted story will take you about three to five hours to complete the game.
4. Safari Forever
In this cute game you have to get safari animals from a starting point to the flag. The game is somewhat like Mario Maker Run, in the sense that the movement of the characters is automatic. All you have to do is tap to make the animal jump.
Here you tap briefly for a small jump, and hold the screen longer to jump further. It also takes some insight, as each level has new, more difficult obstacles to overcome. Once you have completed the game, it is also possible to build your own levels.
