On our YouTube channel, we have an ongoing video series that aims to highlight new, interesting and useful apps for the iPhone and iPad that we think are worth downloading and checking out.
There are so many apps in the App Store that it can be difficult to find new high-quality apps to download, and it’s easy to overlook great apps that are a bit older. Our February pick includes apps for customizing your Apple Watch and iPhone, finding and managing Apple Music, keeping track of TV shows, taking notes, and more.
- Soor ($ 4.99) – Soor is a music player that integrates with Apple Music and makes it easier to find new music. There are multiple themes along with full Apple Music controls for content browsing, song liking, content sharing, and adding songs to playlists. It comes with a set of widgets that can be added to the Home screen or Today center, and it has an attractive Now Playing interface.
- TV prediction (Free) – TV Prediction lets you keep track of the TV shows you watch so you can easily mark which episode you are in. There are notifications when a new episode is about to air, and you can share the progress with friends and family. There is information about actors in TV shows, and you can get recommendations for new shows to watch. TV Forecast is free for five shows, but costs $ 0.99 a month for more.
- Moloko (Free) – Moloko is a theming app that makes it easier to customize your iOS home screen by swapping out the icons. It offers a range of themes with custom icons for both built-in and third-party apps, and they’re easy to install, so you don’t have to use the Shortcuts app and manually replace icons. Note that you need to install a profile to use fast icon switching.
- Aviary ($ 3.99) – Available on all Apple devices, Aviary is a third-party Twitter client that can be used in place of the standard Twitter apps. It has a simple, straightforward interface that can be customized to your liking, and it supports modern features such as polls, hash flags, trends, and more.
- craft (Free) – Craft is a document creation and management tool that you can use to take notes and organize your thoughts. It supports Markdown, backlinks, snippets of code, images and videos, and anything you create can be shared through a web link. Craft is free, but there is a $ 4.99 per month “Pro” plan. The Pro version supports larger file options, offers more storage space and has a version history feature.
- BuddyWatch (Free) – BuddyWatch is an app that makes it easier to create new watch faces for your Apple Watch. You can share watch faces, view watch faces designed by other people, and get watch face suggestions based on your preferences.
- Kitty letter (Free) – Designed by Matthew Inman from The Oatmeal, who also created the popular game Exploding Kittens, Kitty Letter is a word game where you create words from a jumble of letters to form an exploding cat army to attack your neighbor and defend your home. You can play the single player campaign or compete against your friends.
