This week’s edition of our Apps of the Week roundup features a sticker-maker, screenshot-stitcher, and an app for locating and reserving campsites. And as usual, we’ve selected two great new games for you to check out.
Sticky AI uses artificial intelligence to help you create your own selfie-stickers incredibly fast. Create still and animated stickers, save them to the sticker pack and share them easily across your favorite messaging apps. Features include awesome comic and cartoon-like sticker styles, bright and colorful backgrounds to choose from, and a simple and clean user interface. For me it’s kind of like having Instagram or Snapchat stickers in all of your favorite social apps. Sticky AI is available for free.
In the market for a screenshot-stitching app? Check out Picsew. It’s not a new app, but it just received a big update. Picsew can automatically merge multiple screenshots into a single image. The developer says it has the leading auto-stitching success rate among similar products, and it also has a manual stitching option for more complex projects. Other features include support for both vertical and horizontal screenshots, high resolution output, watermarks and more. Picsew is available for $0.99.
It’s that time of year again! Search, compare, and book with thousands of other travelers using RoverPass. With more than 20,000 campgrounds across the country, RoverPass is the only directory to offer nationwide booking through its online travel agency service. Other features include quick-loading search results, large photos, map exploration, online booking, and more. This isn’t a new app, but if you like to camp and haven’t checked it out, it may be worth doing so. It has one of the largest campground databases of any app I’ve seen. RoverPass is available for free.
In the mood to try a new puzzler this weekend? Check out Dice Smash. This game is simple, with the goal of tapping empty spaces between pairs of dice in an effort to clear the board. Features include daily challenges, support for Apple Watch and iMessage, and a gorgeous interface. Think you have what it takes to smash the dice? Try it. Dice Smash is available for free.
A new warrior has entered the ring. Street Fighter 4: Champion Edition perfects the winning gameplay formula of its predecessor by offering higher resolution graphics, three new characters (Poison, Ibuki and Dudley), wide screen support for newer iOS devices and a host of updates and refinements. Long time Street Fighter fans can jump into the action and have an instant familiarity with the controls. For more casual players, Street Fighter 4 features numerous settings and tutorials that put you on the path to victory. Street Fighter IV Champion Edition is available for $5.

Resynth ($1.99) by Polyphonic is a musical puzzle game that is all about hearing the puzzle come to life through sound. In the end, Resynth is here to provide relaxation and stimulation through music. If you enjoyed games like Echo: A Music Game and Bebop Puzzle Beat, then you will love what Resynth brings to the table.
Ever since I started middle school and discovered music, it’s become a big part of my life. I can’t go a day without listening to some of my favorite albums, and I love to discover new tunes each day if I can. I may not have musical talent of my own (never learned) but I can definitely appreciate good music when I hear it. It’s also known that I have a strong love for puzzle games, so when the two combine, you can bet that it’s a must for me. When I saw Resynth on the App Store this week, it intrigued me because of the unique concept — there aren’t too many musical puzzlers out there, after all. After giving it a whirl, I can say that it does not disappoint.
App Feels Like
Resynth
Polyphonic Lp Pty Ltd
Visually, Resynth is rather impressive with a simple and clean minimalistic aesthetic. Everything is flat with uncomplicated icons that are easy to see and recognize. When you look at Resynth, it’s like a combination of retro and futuristic in one, which is nice eye candy. The color palette ranges from soft pastel shades to bold and vibrant hues that all contrast nicely with the background color. The lights on the grid are noticeable from a distance and it’s straightforward when it comes to what needs to be done. Animations are smooth and fluid, especially when the puzzle starts coming to life with music.
What makes Resynth different from other puzzles is the fact that music plays an integral part in this game. This is definitely a game that one should play with the music on, and preferably with some good headphones. Resynth features a soothing synth-pop style soundtrack, which makes sense since the game acts like a synthesizer. Each stage will start with a few beeps and clicks, but as you push the objects into place, the track slowly puts itself together. The final product plays once the puzzle is complete and comes to life.
Like other puzzle games, Resynth is level-based, and right now there are 72 puzzles to solve with the initial download. If you finish all of those and want more, there are more level packs that you can get through in-app purchases. At the moment, there’s only one more pack available, and it costs $0.99. The objective in each stage is pretty clear cut: push all of the blocks into the colored spaces and line up the X’s on the spokes into their proper places. Each node acts as a musical note, so once you get them into the right places, the musical track comes to life. There’s also a psychedelic visual on the screen to let you know when the puzzle is complete.
The controls in Resynth are easy and intuitive. To move your white square, just swipe your finger on the screen in the direction you want to go (up, down, left, right). If you’re unable to move, there’s a subtle visual and audio clue. Since Resynth is a puzzle, you do have to plan your moves carefully, since sometimes the blocks you need to push into the colored nodes may get stuck. If you make a mistake and can’t get out of it, just tap on the restart button in the upper left. The game also has that button flash when you make a fatal mistake and there’s no other option.
Each level has three medals to earn. One is automatically given for completing the stage. You can earn another by solving the puzzle in the least amount of moves, and the last one requires a fast completion time. If you’re the type of person who needs to perfect each level, it may take a few tries on some stages before you can achieve that. And even if you’re not, it’s a good reason to come back to a stage and try to do better.
So Resynth has a good amount of replay value, especially since there are also more level packs to purchase. But keep in mind that you can enjoy the game at your own pace if you desire — the medals are just bonus challenges to give yourself.
Resynth is a stunning music puzzle game that will appeal to fans of synth-pop music and puzzlers. The game has a fantastic minimalistic design that looks modern and fresh, yet can be retro at the same time (depending on the colors). The music is excellent and well worth the cost of the download. It’s easy to control, and the puzzles themselves are challenging enough for everyone, from casuals to gaming veterans. With the bonus objectives to complete, as well as even more level packs, there’s a lot of replay value involved.
There’s not many negatives that I can think of when it comes to Resynth. However, the only thing I wish that the game had that is not implemented at the moment is an undo button. If you make a mistake that you can’t fix, you have to restart from the beginning. I think if there was an undo button, there would be less frustration involved, especially if the mistake’s made later on in the puzzle. Hopefully the developer can consider this in a future update.
As a big fan of music and puzzle games, I am in love with Resynth. The game’s minimalist aesthetic is just what I like to see in mobile games, and the colors are fantastic. The synth-pop and electronic tracks and sound effects are delightful to my ears. I can see myself playing this for a while just because of the music. Controls are easy to follow, and overall, the game mechanic and concept is straightforward. I believe that the additional level packs are well worth the dollar, and I hope to see even more content sooner rather than later. And having iCloud game saves is great, because I’ll never lose my progress when I move between iOS devices.
I highly recommend giving Resynth a try if you’re in the mood for an upbeat and quirky musical puzzle game. Resynth is on the App Store as a universal download on your iPhone and iPad for $1.99. There are in-app purchases for more level packs.
