Cool iOS Apps You Should Have On Your iPhone/iPad (Part 1)

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

Hello guys,

Today I've got some really cool iPhone apps that you may have not heard of before. I tried to pick ones that aren't super popular and most of these are free, although there’re some that might cost a few dollars.
Even though these are iPhone apps, some of them may also be available on Android as well and they can also probably be used on iPad. …So why don't we just get started.


Skyguide AR

This is actually an app that Apple featured in one of their keynotes and it's really cool. Basically, it uses the AR kit to kind of overlay constellations, celestial bodies and satellites over the sky so you can actually look through the camera and look at the sky and maybe if you're in an area with lots of light pollution, then you don't have to worry about that cos you can actually still see constellations.

It actually works in two different ways potentially, either you can use the camera and it will overlay the constellations over the image in the camera or you can use it without the camera and it'll just purely use your GPS location and the compass to show you things in the sky.

You can choose a lot of different things you want it to show or not in the preferences, there's a whole list of toggles you can use, even things like mythical creatures for the constellations which is pretty cool. It does cost a few dollars, it's not free but still pretty cool. There might be free alternatives though on the App Store but this one's definitely the most popular and works really well.

This is basically a gamified version of task list or daily to-do list and the idea is that it's kind of like an RPG game. You create a character and then to gain experience, you do daily tasks that you set and you can also choose one-time tasks as well. If you do these tasks, you gain experience for your character and if you miss some of them, then you lose experience or health and then you can also use some of that experience to buy upgrades for your character.

It's got some social features as well, it's got something like guilds and tavern and you can actually invite friends to a party and I think how that works is basically, there's a group experience pool or something like that and you can do boss fights where I believe everyone has to do all their tasks and then you can beat the boss and get more experience.

It's just kind of a fun way where you actually kind of get punished in a way if you don't do the tasks because your character will lose experience and you can buy items like health potions and stuff if you start doing well again.

This is available on other platforms, it's not just an app, there's also a web interface so you don't have to use it on iPhone which is pretty cool.



Thanks for reading.... Stay tuned for more.
