It’s Sunday again and that means a fresh app overview is ready for you! We don’t think you should miss these new apps, games and updates. These are this week’s best iOS apps.
The 5 best iOS apps in a row
Every week the App Store works overtime to accommodate all new apps, updates and games. You probably notice this, because only a small part is worth installing. Can’t see the forest for all the trees? Then get inspired with this overview of iOS apps that are worth downloading.
1. Journey
In Journey you start in an empty desert, with a mountain in the distance from which light comes. The game was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2012 and has now made its way to the App Store. The big question is of course: is the game still worth it seven years later? Our answer is short: yes!
Journey is really a game that you have to play. One that shows what wonderful adventures are possible with this medium. Without any dialogue, Journey arouses all kinds of emotions. This is a journey to take on your iPhone today and never to be forgotten. Read our in-depth review of Journey, or download the game below.
2. Google Maps
Do you always find it difficult to find your way? Then this update is for you. One of our favorite navigation apps has been given a nice feature. Google Maps Live View ensures that you see arrows on the screen of your iPhone in the ‘real’ world that show you the way. This makes taking the right exit a lot easier.
Live View has been available on Google’s Pixel smartphones for some time, but is now rolling out to Android devices that support ARCore and all iPhones that support ARKit. In practice, this means that most new iPhones can work with Google Maps Live View.
3. Telegram
Telegram is nowhere near as popular as WhatsApp, which is actually quite strange. The chat app continues to get good functions, including this week. While most programs want you to be constantly up and running with their app, Telegram has been given a new ‘silent mode’ with the aim of combating smartphone addiction.
From now on you can indicate when sending a message that the recipient will not receive a notification, so that he or she will not be disturbed. This is useful, for example, when you send someone a message during the night. From now on you can also spice up conversations with moving emoji.
4. Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes
Looking for a good relationship test, or do you want to check whether you are actually as good at communicating as you think? Then you have to check out this new puzzle game in which it is up to you and your friends to defuse a bomb in time. Keep the instructions concise, because before you know it you have an explosion.
In ‘Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes’ you are locked in a room with a ticking time bomb inside. Only your friends have the manual to defuse it, but there is 1 problem: they don’t see the bomb. So you have to communicate with each other to survive. Only 1 person from the group of friends needs to purchase the game.
5. Darkroom
Lightroom is an excellent photo-editing app, and it’s gotten even better thanks to last week’s update. Thanks to the addition of histograms, you can adjust the color and light balance of photos. This is useful, for example, when you have shot a very nice picture, but see that some parts are underexposed.
Thanks to the histograms, you can also adjust the color values within the photo. It is extra nice that the app explains what all settings do, and what happens when you start sliding values. In this way, Darkroom more than lives up to its name as an accessible photo editor.
