DARK SKY – WEATHER RADAR Dark Sky is a minimalist app which has been designed to present the real-time information you need in the clearest way possible. It displays a graph showing the predicted weather for the next hour and when you first use it, the uncanny accuracy is obvious straight away. Add to this a notification centre widget and push notifications, and there is now no excuse to not know what is happening at any moment. The Apple Watch is fully supported with a five-day forecast and the animations on the iPhone and iPad stand out just enough to make Dark Sky’s weather forecasting experience feel alive. The beautifully presented maps show an animation of how any local rain is moving and you will always be defaulted to your current location so it is easy to see how much rain will arrive in a very precise hour window. All of this comes together to give you a tool that is useful for so many aspects of your life and you can plan days out, meetings and parties (where the weather will make a big difference). You can always stay dry with Dark Sky. iPhone+ | iOS 7.0 | £2.99/$3.99 TRIPLE JUMP It may look simple, but it can be incredibly frustrating at times There is little doubt that simplegamesdesignedtobe played over periods of mere secondsarefashionableat themomentandTriple Jump is the perfect example. You have to time your jumps just rightbytappingonthescreenandyou will quickly understand how many taps are needed to progress. The premise is incredibly simple, but it can be extremely hard to survive for long. iPhone+ | iOS 6.0 | Freemium Android | OS 2.3 | Freemium STICK TEXTING Inaworldwherethediversity of communication methods seemstogroweveryday,itsort ofmakessensetobegivenyet anotheroption.Withthisappyoucansend animated stick images which are designed to offer as many different meanings as possible in seconds. The interface is logical and the wayitworksismorefunthanyoumay expect.Anovelsolution. iPhone+ | iOS 6.1 | £1.49/£1.99 “It is easy to see how much rain will arrive in a veryprecisehourwindowwithDarkSky” THE OFFICIAL DVSA THEORY TEST KIT FOR CAR DRIVERS Passing a UK driving test is not easy so any help you can get will be welcome. In this app you can study the theory test in detail and take a series of mock tests so that you can feel confident on the big day. The presentation is simply superb and the content is perfectly accurate. iPhone+ | iOS 7.0 | £4.99/$6.99 NETFLIX YOUR NEXT 50 DOWNLOADS Netflix works brilliantly on settop boxes, but the ability to take your favourite films and TV shows with you is not one to be missed. You can stream shows over a mobile connection or Wi-Fi and performance throughout is astonishingly quick. The busy interface fits the idea well and if you have a Netflix account, you must download this. iPhone+ | iOS 7.0 | Free Android | Varies | Free YOU MUST BUILD ABOAT Don’t let the simplistic retro graphics fool you because this is a highly complex game and great fun to play. You have to build a boat by gathering a crew, casting spells, capturing monsters and so much more, and the experience never gets dull. iPhone+ | iOS 6.0 | £2.29/$2.99 Android | OS 2.3 | £1.99/$2.99 SPY_WATCH Described as a fantasy app rather than as just a simple game, Spy_Watch is designed to play in real-time on your Apple Watch. It really does feel like a spy experience and how you deal with the notifications that come to you will define how successful you are. If you like the idea of directing a spy agency from your wrist, then you should try this game out. iPhone | iOS 8.0 | £1.49/$1.99 SHADOWMATIC In this highly original game you have to rotate objects until the shadow they create identifies as a completely new object. The styling and graphics are exemplary and the relaxing atmosphere never gets old no matter how often you play it. Shadowmatic is surprisingly deep despite the simple controls and really is superb fun throughout playing. iPhone+ | iOS 6.0 | £2.29/$2.99 BUDDYMAN: KICK 2 Buddyman: Kick 2 is the ultimate stress-relieving game which requires you to hit Buddyman with as many damaging objects as you can in order to make him much stronger. It is a crazy premise and one which makes very little sense to us at the start, but you will soon become immersed in the humorous violence and will likely keep coming back to keep the whacking going. iPhone+ | iOS 6.0 | £0.79/$0.99 STORAGE HUNTERS UK : THE GAME The Storage Hunters UK game is true to the TV show and includes all of the characters you already know and love. If you already own a different version, it may not offer enough differentiation, but if not give it a go. It is great fun and can get very tense. iPhone+ | iOS 6.0 | £1.49/$1.99 Android | OS 2.3 | £1.49/$1.23 15
