You can read the previous Best Android Apps roundups for more recommendations, but if iOS is your platform of choice, check the Best iPhone and iPad Apps roundups. On with this weeks selection!
APPS
Adobe Photoshop Mix (Free)
This is partly for fun, and partly for pro designers: an app to edit and share your mobile photographs, but also to transfer them to the Photoshop CC software on your main computer for further work if needed. It ties in to Adobes Creative Cloud subscription.
Kamcord - Game Screen Recorder (Free)
Twitch is all the rage for sharing live streams of gameplay on all platforms, but Kamcord is a different take on the idea. It focuses purely on recording your Android game sessions then sharing them with the world on a not-live basis.
Monster Mingle (£2.29)
Freshly ported from iOS, this is a colourful, quirky childrens app designed for pre-schoolers. It involves building monsters by swapping in body parts littered around its landscape, while exploring the skies and ocean.
Dash Radio (Free)
Getting out into the app stores ahead of Apples new streaming music service, Dash Radio wants to reinvent, well, radio. Its a collection of more than 60 stations programmed by DJs (Snoop Dogg included), with the promise of no ads. Read our recent interview for more details.
Flipd - Remove Distractions (Free)
Flipd is an Android app for people with no self-control (i.e. the majority of smartphone owners) when it comes to using their device. Its a productivity aid that literally locks your phone so you can concentrate on something else for a while.
Lumo Lift (Free)
Released in beta, this is a digital posture coach that also tracks your activity youll need its companion gadget strapped to your clothing with the ability to vibrate to warn you not to slump like a less-grumpy schoolteacher.
Popcorn Buzz (Free)
The app that lets you talk with up to 200 people at the same time, for free. Because this is something we have all been kicking ourselves about being unable to do, right? Oh. But this new app from social network Line could be useful for chatting to smaller groups of friends and family.
APUS Browser (Free)
The big selling point for this new web browser is its tiny footprint on your device: its just 0.6MB in size. Maker APUS is claiming that its not just small though: its pretty nippy too. Its most useful if youre on a cheaper smartphone and a slow connection, although Opera Mini is a tough rival there.
Ramadan Legacy (Free)
Muslims are preparing for the month of Ramadan, which begins on Wednesday 17 June. Heres a new app that aims to be a companion for the annual event: a mixture of planning, information and social tools to complement the month ahead.
Webmaker Beta (Free)
Finally, something interesting from Firefox maker Mozilla: a tool that transforms web users into web makers, whether theyre creating photo galleries, scrapbooks or memes. Yes, this kind of stuff is handled by no end of other social apps, but the goal here is to make something more open.
GAMES
GAMES
Tiki Taka Soccer (Free + IAP)
If you, like me, grew up on the Sensible Soccer games, Tiki Taka Soccers pixelly graphics will give you a bolt of nostalgia. Thankfully, this is a worthy successor in gameplay too: an inventive touchscreen football game with light management features.
You Must Build a Boat (£1.99)
Theres a lot of buzz building around You Must Build a Boat, and justifiably so: its brilliant. A sequel to the fun 10000000, yes it does involve building a boat but also battling monsters, recruiting a crew and wielding magic by matching tiles with no in-app purchases in sight.
Hitman: Sniper (£3.99 + IAP)
This is the latest game based on the Hitman console brand: and unsurprisingly, its all about the long-range shooting. There are more than 150 missions to snipe through, bagging new rifles as you go. A neat companion to the excellent Hitman Go game.
Angry Birds Fight! (Free + IAP)
The latest freemium Angry Birds game takes its cues from mobile hits like Puzzle & Dragons and Best Fiends, as you match birds in the bottom half of the screen to battle enemies at the top. It may sound cynical, but actually this is good fun.
AlphaBetty Saga (Free + IAP)
Saga? Yes, this is the latest from Candy Crush publisher King, and as the rest of its title implies, this is a word game. Your job is to link letter-tiles to make words as you work through more than 100 levels with the familiar system of boosters and in-app purchases for when you get stuck.
Final Fantasy Tactics (£10.49)
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions to give this its full title a mobile port of Square Enixs PSP game from 2007 which was itself a port of a 1997 PlayStation game. This is still an excellent turn-based strategy game, as you marshal your team and make the most of their special abilities.
Terminator Genisys: Revolution (Free + IAP)
Glu Mobile has had a huge hit with its Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game, but now its turning its attention to another aspect of Hollywood: killer robots from the future. This tie-in to the new Terminator film is an entertaining, guns-blazing third-person shooter.
Robbery Bob 2: Double Trouble (£1.99 + IAP)
The original Robbery Bob was a clever mix of action and strategy, as you snuck around a bunch of houses trying to burgle them without being caught. This sequel is just as fun: 60 new levels and lots of new gadgets to help you a**** the long arm of the law (or the sharp teeth of the dog).
Alpha Squadron 2 (Free + IAP)
If youve a yen for a space-shooter, Alpha Squadron 2 is an essential download. It looks good, feels fast, and presents you with plenty of varied enemies and environments to take on with your starfighter. Tutorials and its first mission is free, before you stump up to unlock the rest.
Brickies (Free + IAP)
In an app store awash with Candy Crush and Clash of Clans clones, developers taking inspiration from older arcade hits can feel fresh. Thats certainly the case for Brickies: a neat reworking of the classic Breakout / Arkanoid formula, as you smash bricks with a paddle and ball.
