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 have listed the best iOS apps, games and updates from last week.
Last week’s best iOS 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. Discovery Plus
Have you finished watching Netflix and do you find the offer on Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus disappointing? Then we may have good news for you, because the streaming landscape has been enriched by a player since last week. Discovery, home to TV shows like Gold Rush, Wheeler Dealers and Deadliest Catch, has launched Discovery Plus.
With this streaming service you can watch all shows and series from Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet, among others. They also produce their own unique productions, including Fitness Diaries. Dutch fit girls such as Famke Louise and Fajah Lourens are followed in this. Discovery Plus costs 3.99 euros per month, or 39.99 euros per year. You can try it for free for a week.

2. Mad Cars
Mad Cars is an entertaining racing game where the aim is to blast down the highway as fast as possible. However, there is a major plot twist. You do not drive one car, but a real column. It is up to you to guide this procession as safely as possible on the road and to avoid obstacles.
Stones, holes and even complete sewers will come your way. So you will have to tactically sacrifice certain cars to get the rest of the retinue across the finish line. If you do this right, you can unlock extras, such as new cars. Mad Cars is anything but a tour de force, but entertaining nonetheless.
3. Overviewer
Are you or do you know a teacher who will provide home education for the time being? Then Overviewer may be an interesting app. The application turns your iPhone into a document scanner. In this way you can, for example, show during online lectures how to do a certain calculation, make a drawing or make something visual.
It works very simply. You connect your iPhone to your computer and then start teaching online, for example via Zoom. In the settings menu of this app you can now select your iPhone. Once you do this, the students will see what you film with your iPhone. Extra cool is that you can switch between the wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lens of your device (if you have a recent model).
