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.
Vanished: The Island by SkyHorse Interactive ($2.99, 127.3 MB): Enjoy uncovering the clues and piecing together an intriguing story in this point-and-tap mystery adventure. It all begins as you, the character, are called to help your aunt Emma, who is doing research on an island once inhabited by a Mayan civilization. From scary relics to warnings from Emma and the locals, the eeriness begins quickly, but you must press on and make sense of the strange world before it's too late. The game features hand drawn-style 3-D graphics, mini-puzzles through a hidden object type of play, and story progressing cutscenes.
U Guess It by Christopher Bishop (Free, 22.6 MB): Match-3 pairs up with photo guessing to create a puzzler that's enjoyable and challenging for those of nearly every age. As you group the gems and eliminate them, an image will be revealed, which must be deciphered into a word using a finite set of letters. This may not seem too difficult, however, there's a limited number of time, limited number of moves, and the word may not be as blatant as you conclude. For example, the photo of a bull eating grass in a pasture isn't hinting at "bull," "cow," or "grazing" but rather a different action. The game features colorful 2-D and photo 3-D graphics, 160 levels, small hints as well as purchasable power-ups.
