How to spend a $25 iTunes gift card for Nov. 21, 2014
Two exciting sequels make this week’s list of the best games, movies, and books to download.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, $2.99, Universal game
One of the most popular and distinctive games in the App Store now has a sequel. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 features a new cast of characters, but the same type of fun for kids and adults alike.
Dark Hearts, Free, Universal app
Yes, this sequel to Haunted Melissa is free to download. However, the only way to experience every twisted chapter is by making a $5.99 in-app purchase … which you should do right now.
“A Most Wanted Man,” $5.99, Movie rental
This action-thriller from spymaster John Le Carré stars Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman in his final starring performance. It’s an awesome film, in my humble opinion.
“Unbroken,” $7.99, E-bookBefore “Unbroken” is released into theaters in December, be sure to read the book by Laura Hillenbrand from which it is based. “Unbroken” tells the true story of American Louis Zamperini, who survived the Pacific and Japanese atrocities during World War II.
“Gets” of the Week
As Aldrin Calimlim first noted, in the week leading up to Thanksgiving, Apple is giving App Store customers something to be thankful for as it’s offering Things as its free App of the Week.
Things for iPhone and Things for iPad are normally priced at $9.99 and $19.99, respectively. And this is the first time either app has been offered on the App Store at no cost.
Finally, there is Simmer by the team who brought us the cooking app Panna. Simmer offers step-by-step video recipes that you can create, watch, and share from your own kitchen.
Another edition of “How to spend a $25 iTunes gift card” will be published next week. If you’d like your app or game featured on a future list, contact us on Twitter or through Facebook.
