Welcome to another edition of our review of the apps of the week. We’ve got some great options this week, including an iOS 16 lock screen widget, a unique notepad, and an app to find nearby pubs. And, as always, we have a great game for you.
Favorite Widget
Here’s a handy little app for those who have updated to iOS 16. It’s called “Favorite Widget”and uses the lock screen widget feature of the new iOS. You can set it up to call or send a text message to a contact, or open URLs and activate shortcuts.
xTiles – notes, ideas, tasks
Note-taking/brainstorming apps come in all shapes and colors, and xTiles is proof of that. The application is nothing like the standard Notes application and offers a place to save notes, voice recordings, photos, as well as links and media from the Internet.
Pub Collector
Where are all my bar crawlers? Pub Collector is an app that helps you discover new bars and pubs around you. So if you are traveling and want to find a good store or just want to try a new local place, this app is worth checking out.
Loose nozzles
How could you ignore this chart? Apparently, the developer used drawings from his young son to create this arcade slapstick game. It may seem simplistic, but there are rocket upgrades, customizable skins, and alternate game modes. Ideal for the weekend!
