Why we picked this?

No matter where you are, MAPS.ME will help you find your way thanks to its huge database that includes 345 countries and islands. Before heading out on your adventure, we recommend downloading your maps ahead of time. The storage space they take up is remarkably small, only requiring a handful of megabytes to be free for each location thanks to the developer’s innovative data compression system. You’re able to search maps while offline, create routes with arrival times, and create and import bookmarks.

If you travel a lot, we highly recommend downloading MAPS.ME. It may not be for every occasion, but you’re sure going to be happy you downloaded it when the time is right.

Really, the only reason not to download MAPS.ME today is if you never leave the house.

Letters and Dots

J.D. Shultz

Connect letters and dots in this colorful word game.

It’s ideal for fans of both matching and word games.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Letters and Dots is two games in one. The main objective is to create the longest possible valid words to score as many points as you can in 20 turns. However, if you’re feeling strategic, you can eliminate dots by matching their colors. You’ll earn fewer points, but it will allow you to create even better words. The game includes two color themes to choose from, and a wordlist so you can track all of the unique words you’ve created.

If you enjoy casual word games, this is about as casual as they get. You won’t find any timers or leaderboards here, just pure word creating fun.

If you like competition, skip Letters and Dots. There’s no way to compete with friends.

Why we picked this?

Cycloramic is one of those apps that you just have to show your family and friends. It allows you to capture panoramas completely handsfree! All you have to do is put your iPhone 6 on top of your power adapter and place it on a smooth and level surface. Your iPhone 6 will vibrate and rotate all on its own while capturing photos and stitching them together. Of course, if you’d rather capture your panoramas manually, you’re allowed to do so with the easy to use guided mode. Cycloramic also includes the tools to finish off your panoramas like filters, frames, stickers, and even video conversion.

If you have an iPhone 6, you just have to check out Cycloramic. It may not end up sticking on your iDevice, but it’s a pretty neat app to show off.

Your results will vary greatly depending on the surfaces used. So if you’re not into the idea of fiddling around with your iPhone 6 as it spins and spins, skip Cycloramic.
