As Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS App Store continues to grow both in size and value, developers have been rushing to the platform more than ever before. Apple’s App Store apps have a great reputation for their design, functionality, and reliability, unlike Google Inc’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android Play Store, which does not regulate the apps posted by developers and therefore lacks the quality of performance at times.
The iOS App Store, however, continues to be flooded with new apps and games that not only function as advertised but also provide breakthroughs in app development itself, especially since the roll-out of iOS 8 gave developers unprecedented access to the operating system’s core functionalities like Notification Center and advanced Camera controls.
Each week, we test out new apps that have been released for the iPhone and iPad, pick out the ones that caught our attention the most and bring them to your attention, helping you make the most of your Apple device.
So let’s take a look at five of the best new apps that you can download right now from the App Store on your iOS device.
Funny or Die Weather. Real Weather, Real Funny
The Funny or Die team behind the comedy website famous for Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s short film, “The Landlord,†and popular web series like “Between Two Ferns†and “Drunk History,†has released its own weather app for Apple’s iOS devices.
The Funny or Die Weather app aims to improve your weather app experience by adding the element of humor. The app combines humor to make even the coldest of days enjoyable.
The weather app provides you with a typical weather app layout, along with all the useful weather information one could expect from a weather app.
You can select your favorite locations for which you wish to get weather updates, and the app supports almost all locations. Within the app, you can simply swipe the screen left or right to switch between locations and view your current weather conditions as well as future forecasts.
The app provides a full five-day forecast, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed and Direction, Humidity and UV Index. The app also provides you with Sunrise and Sunset times, as well as the moon’s current Phase. The app also detects if you are close to the sea and provides times for high tides and low tides.
All these features make the Funny or Die Weather app a full-featured weather app that can hold its own against any other apps currently on offer.
Another great feature this app incorporates is an interactive background which changes color tones according to the current temperature and time of day. The feature gives the app a great visual look.
The standout feature of the Funny or Die Weather app is its “Daily Reminder†feature. The Daily Reminder feature provides a unique joke for every location each day, which you can share with your friends and loved ones directly from the app, thanks to its support of iOS 8’s extension widget.
You can download the Funny or Die Weather app for free directly from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
The LEGO Movie Video Game
Warner Bros. has finally released the official game for The LEGO Movie for iOS devices. If you are a fan of The LEGO Movie, you can now extend the action and excitement to your iPhone or iPad.
The game includes over 90 characters from the movie and you have over 50 missions to beat, making it an extensive experience. In the game, you are required to use Master Builders to create your own virtual LEGO wonders.
The game requires you to solve different puzzles in order to create structures using LEGO bricks. You can collect LEGO blueprints and continue to build using Master Builders.
You take control of Emmet to guide him through an “epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.â€
Some of the famous LEGO Movie characters that are featured in the game include Batman, Superman, Green Ninja, Gandalf and Benny.
The game also features in-app purchases as well as advertisements for Warner Bros. Currently, the company is offering several in-app purchases for free for a limited time.
