The month of November is coming to an end, meaning we get to reflect on some of the best apps to hit the App Store during the month. Without further ado, let’s get started:
The first app we have is called Grammarly. It’s a third-party keyboard that features a personal editor. After you’re done typing a sentence or paragraph with the keyboard, it will then analyze what you wrote and offer spelling and grammar-related suggestions. All you have to do is tap on the suggested edit to apply it to your writing. It works surprisingly well and should help you come across as more intelligent and articulate online.
HabitMinder is an app that helps you stay on track with your healthy habits and helps you achieve them daily. The app will help you stay accountable with sessions and many apps while you perform the habit. There are even reminders and over 50 predefined healthy habits to choose from and get you started.
So to give you an example, HabitMinder can help you remember to do breathing exercises or a quick meditation session. The app is also visually stunning and intuitive. It’s pretty well developed overall.
Tower Fortress is a retro adventure game that’s a ton of fun. Here’s the premise: a mysterious tower has risen. In the midst of plumes of noxious green smoke from its summit making people sick, strange creatures infest the tower but if nobody tries to ascend it, we will all be doomed. Are you that hero? That’s up to you guys. The game is free.
Polarr Album+ is a really neat gallery app that uses AI to show you only your best photos and helps you discover people, objects, places, documents and receipts so you can easily find what you’re looking for and not see the things you don’t need. What’s more is that all your photos are automatically enhanced with the app’s smart AI filters which aims to ultimately make your photos look even better.
Yoink is an app that simplifies and improves drag and drop between windows, apps, spaces and full-screen apps. So here’s how it works: when you start dragging files in Finder or content from an application, Yoink fades in a tiny window at the edge of your screen so you can drag to it. This frees up your mouse so you can comfortably navigate to the destination of the files and resume the drag from Yoink’s window more comfortably.
But on the iPhone, you can use the keyboard extension to easily insert items when writing messages or editing text documents. It’s also a good place to collect a bunch of stuff that you copied.
Talking Tom Pool is the latest Talking Tom game but it’s different than previous Talking Tom apps. It’s actually a new puzzle game where you have to match the colors to clear the pool and win. It has similar mechanisms to that of Angry Bird where you have to pull back, release, and watch the floatings bounce around the pool. It’s pretty simple but lots of fun.
Slor is a photo editing app that lets you edit portrait mode photos. You can adjust the background blur and focus point using this application. You can even add your own additional lens blur and tilt the focal plane just like a DSLR. I think if you’re a pro or an amateur photographer, you should definitely look into Slor.
Temi Recorder uses advanced speech recognition software to capture your dictation and memos and transcribe them in five minutes or less. Let’s say you record a lecture from your professor, this app will take that recording and transcribe it into a document for you. It’s not going to work flawlessly for obvious reasons but it does work surprisingly well.
Pukk is a dead simple game. You play as a treasure hunter that bounces back and forth between a course. Your job is to choose when to smash against treasures but you do have to avoid the obstacles otherwise you have to restart. I will note that this game has not been updated to the iPhone X as you can see by the black borders.
The last app we have for you today is called GetFilter and it uses Apple’s all new Core ML to filter the unwanted messages you have out of your inbox and highlight the ones you actually want. If you tend to get a lot of spam SMS or MMS messages, you really need this app. What’s cool is that you can add your own rules. So if you always want to get any message including the word “pizza” even if GetFilter’s AI detected it as spam, you can add “pizza” to your whitelist and you’ll get messages with the word “pizza.”
It’s pretty cool.
With that last one guys, those are 10 of our favorite iOS apps to hit the App Store during the month of November 2017.
