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 best iPhone apps
The Apple App Store is working overtime every week. New apps, updates to existing applications and games appear all the time. You probably don’t notice this much, because most of the programs are not worth downloading. iPhoned therefore separates the wheat from the chaff every Sunday. Here are the best iOS apps, updates, and games from last week.
1. Any Distance
Any Distance is a sports app, but slightly different. The application revolves around shaping your sports performance as beautifully as possible and not about serving up exercises or keeping track of training sessions. Instead, Any Distance shows how much you worked up a sweat through a beautiful visual.
You can design this picture completely yourself, but you can also choose from one of the templates. Any Distance includes standard photos for cycling, running, and hiking. The app works together with Apple’s Health app and can therefore load all your health information. Any Distance is free for now, but will add in-app purchases soon.
2. Five Dates
Five Dates is an interactive romantic comedy. In this combination of a movie and a game you take on the role of Vinny. This London resident is looking for love during the lockdown and has therefore signed up with a dating app. In the game, you go on a virtual date with five matches and your choices determine the rest of the storyline.
The makers try to highlight the unpredictable world of modern dating. During the game, for example, you are busy answering deep questions, trying to make jokes and appear charming along the way. Based on your actions, dates determine whether they want to talk to you again.
3. Doodle Dash
Doodle Dash is an adventure game released last week with a unique hand-drawn style. The gameplay consists of jumping, running and dodging obstacles. The ultimate goal of the game is to beat your own record. That is easier said than done, because the elements change every time.
For example, one time you end up in a sandstorm, while the other time you end up on a jet ski and have to dodge all kinds of sharks. Doodle Dash is therefore a fun game for in between because it feels constantly chaotic and refreshing. The game is free, but does offer in-app purchases.
