The App Store takes delivery of hundreds of new apps per day. The overwhelming scene makes it possible to easily overlook an exciting game, valuable productivity suite, etc. However, we have a solution. Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday. Remember: Even though in-app purchases typically require your iTunes Store password for processing, you can further prevent them and other unauthorized actions by enabling local restrictions using the passcode locked iOS parental controls

Following a terrorist-like activity, you're given an extremely important package to deliver. Every real step gets mirrored in the game, moving the virtual character forward, similar to an AR experience. Once reaching particular time, that is, also distance, milestones, additional story chapters will become available, offering new information, clues, and other exciting tidbits. The app features both 2-D and 3-D graphics, more than 13 hours to tell the UK-based audio novel spanning 65 episodes and hundreds of miles, gauge-type stats and a realistic map show headway, adaptive difficulty, plus M7 motion coprocessor (iPhone 5s) optimization.
