The week is over and that means that a fresh app overview is waiting for you! As far as we are concerned, you should not miss these new apps, games and updates. You can find the best iOS apps from week 4 here.
The best iOS apps at a glance
The App Store works overtime every week to handle the never-ending stream of new apps and updates. However, you will hardly notice this, because only a small part is worth installing. If your iPhone or iPad can use some new apps, you’ve come to the right place.
1. IFFR
The annual International Film Festival Rotterdam is underway again, with a staggering number of films and documentaries to check out for a week and a half. With the IFFR app you know exactly when to look at which blank screen to look at. View the program and your personal festival agenda and buy and save tickets.
You can also let the handy IFFR Film Finder select the perfect movie for you, based on your preferences. By watching and dis- liking trailers, you will receive personal suggestions. The app is also the place to be if you are looking for more depth about and around all the film violence at the festival.
2. TikTok
TikTok is a hit. Whether you use the app on a daily basis or have never heard of it, you have probably come into contact with it in some way. The videos made with the app are massively shared on other social media. Initially, TikTok was used purely for making lip syncs.
The app has since grown into much more than that. The comic videos take over the app, but music continues to play a major role. And if you want to keep up to date with current memes, TikTok is the place to be. Successful meme after meme after another is rolling out of this app, like the Adele and the gummy bears.
3. Hang Line: Mountain Climber
If you’re in need of some new pastime in the form of an iPhone game, give Hang Line a try. Fly from rock to rock in crazy levels as you rescue fellow climbers and other stranded people. The game does not make it easy for you, and you will regularly avoid falling ice chunks, lava or aggressive lions and mountain goats.
Hang Line: Mountain Climbers is easy to operate with one hand, which makes it a nice game to play on the train, for example. In more than 50 levels, you can rescue more than 80 people while unlocking all kinds of useful gadgets such as special hooks or jetpacks.
4. Splitt
With Splitt you create a friend pot when you go out with a group so that everyone contributes. As a result, you will never have to fiddle with change, co-drinkers or mutual accusations again. You link your bank account and invite everyone you are out with in the app.
The bar staff scans the QR code with each round, after which the costs are automatically shared between you and your friends. You can indicate who will participate in this round with the friend pot. Splitt is new and currently only works in Utrecht, but the app will be rolling out to several cities from February.
5. Fusion
The editing program Fuzion has appeared in the App Store, and offers a refreshing way to spice up your selfies and portraits. The app focuses on making double exposure photos. This means that you take a photo of a silhouette and fill it in with a second photo of, for example, a landscape.
There are dozens of photos from professional photographers in the app that you can use as a filter. In addition, you can add all kinds of effects via a simple menu. All you have to do is upload a selfie or portrait photo and the rest is self-explanatory. To be able to use all filters and functions, you have to pay 3.49 euros once.
