Indispensable additions to your iPhone
Our selection of the very best apps for iPhones, from creativity to organization
HARD TO BELIEVE, but the iPhone nearly didn’t get apps at all: the initial plan was for us to save websites as favorites on our Home Screen instead. Thankfully Apple changed its mind, the App Store was born, and today we’re running Photoshop apps on our iPhones. And that’s not all. Our phones bring us AR experiences, language learning, live sports, real–time transport updates, radio, ebooks, and so much more. Here are some of our current favorites.
DOUBLETAKE
From FiLMiC, filmicpro.com Also on iPad
> The thing about most iPhone camera apps is that they can only use one of your cameras. FiLMiC’s DoubleTake can record from the front and back ones simultaneously on iPhones from the XR/XS onwards, turning your phone into a multi–camera video studio and opening up all kinds of new creative possibilities.
NIGHT SKY
From iCandi Apps, icandiapps.com Also on Mac, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch
> Night Sky is one of those apps you want to show everyone. It’s a stargazing app that uses augmented reality to show you what’s in the skies, enabling you to identify planets, stars, constellations, satellites, and the International Space Station. It also includes great educational content about stars and planets.
