MONTH
February 2025
Even though February is the shortest month of the year, there was no shortage of great new apps. Take a look at our choices for the Best Apps of the Month. Our list is highlighted by a great new way to send invitations and an app that brings multiple sources from the web together under one roof.
Tapestry by Iconfactory
The Iconfactory

It can bring a wide variety of sources into a chronological timeline. To begin, you can select from a wide variety of sources to add to the timeline.

Create Custom Invitations
Apple’s Invites app is here to help you create a perfect, customized invitation for whatever party you’re throwing. To begin, you can add an image from your Photo Library or the premade backgrounds. Maps and Weather integration provides directions to the event and the weather that day. Everyone can add images and video to a Shared Album. If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, you an also create a curated event soundtrack.
WalkStar
Cromulent Labs
Motivation to Keep Moving
Getting out and moving, whether you’re running or walking, is even better with music. The new app WalkStar will help keep you motivated. Using the app is simple. It only plays music when you’re walking or running. If you stop for any reason, the music stops as well. Along with the great premise is a fun, retro interface. The app turns your iPhone screen into an-old school cassette player with the song playing “written” on screen. You can even hear cassette sounds before the songs starts.
Daily Wallpaper

A Beautiful New Background Each Day
With the Daily Wallpaper, you can enjoy a beautiful new background on your iPhone or iPad automatically. Getting everything set up takes a bit of work, but shows how powerful Apple’s built-in Shortcuts are. First, you’ll choose from one of three image categories. Astronomy will showcase pictures from the popular Astronomy Picture of the Day site. Nature will offer wallpapers from around the world. The final choice is NASA’s Image of the day that features rockets, space, astronauts, and more.
