Star Wars Journeys: The Phantom Menace, $6.99, Universal app

“Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” is arguably the worst movie in the Star Wars film series. If you don’t believe me, just ask Sheldon Cooper. Regardless, every journey does have a beginning, as this first-in-a-series of companion apps for the epic movie series proves. May the "Fourth" be with you, folks!

“Heaven is for Real,” $7.99, E-Book

This story of inspiration is the basis of the 2014 film of the same name. Do you believe?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, $4.99, Universal game, Offers in-app purchases
