BEST
APPS
of the
WEEK
September 22, 2017
It's been a busy, exciting week for apps, with the release of iOS 11 and its new technology. Our best apps of the week is dominated by ARKit and Machine Learning apps, but I also found a cool electronic music creation app and a way to keep up with what's happening in the Supreme Court of the United States. On to the apps!
