The App Store works overtime every week to handle the never-ending stream of new apps and updates. You don’t notice that much, however, because only a fraction of it is worth installing. If your iPhone can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
Microsoft has released a new tasks app with features from Wunderlist. The separate Wunderlist app will eventually close and make way for Microsoft To-Do.

You can add notes to tasks and set a due date. In addition, it is possible to place memories, so that you really don’t forget anything.
Instagram has let you save photos of others since the end of last year. Now the app is rolling out collections so you can better organize these photos.

By clicking on the plus icon in the top right corner of a collection, you can also add old saved photos.
Apple does not like pornographic material in the App Store. Apps that show too much skin are therefore unceremoniously removed. Now Pornhub has come up with something clever to get in anyway.

That is why you can now make every nude photo clean, through a fun filter. For example, think of propellers over your nipples, or a lightsaber over other parts of the body.
