"If there is an app for that"

October 20, 2016 by macjeff

Apple on Thursday updated its App of the Week promotion with the app Night Sky 4. This means that for the next 7 days, you can get the popular astronomy app for both iPhone and iPad for free—saving you a solid buck.

Night Sky 4 is pitched as the most advanced and beautiful stargazing app ever created. With it you can identify stars, planets, constellations and satellites above simply by holding your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch to the sky.

From the App Store Editors’ Notes:

This planetarium in your pocket makes it easy to discover the wonders of space wherever you go. Day or night, just aim your device skyward to see a live 3D map of the heavens, complete with beautifully illustrated constellations, stars, planets, and satellites. A special night mode helps you read the map in the dark, while integrated weather reports show the best times for stargazing. You can even have notifications alert you to future astronomical events.

And here are some more screenshots:

Night Sky 4 is available in the App Store for free.

Matty is a little ball of dark matter who is confused about his origin and a little bit angry about it. To help him uncover the truth, you’ll have to fight some alien creatures brick breaker-style. You’re able to control the paddle by tapping either side of the screen. Power-ups and coins will fall at random, and you can grab them with your paddle. The game includes a story mode and an arcade mode.

Feelca Daylight , Minecraft: Story Mode , Meteor Notes and more

Feelca Daylight mimics the look of film cameras. You're able to choose between 24 and 36 exposure film. Then line up your subjects and snap away. The app automatically organizes photos as if they were rolls of film. Afterwards you can add a caption, which is presented as a Polaroid-like developed photo, or you can just share photos as they are.

Universal:

Minecraft: Story Mode takes you on an adventure within the blocky world of Minecraft. An unforeseen terror has been unleashed, and you and your friends must set out on a quest to find The Order of the Stone in order to save the world from total destruction. The decisions you make and what you say to people along the way will drive the story, so choose wisely.

Meteor provides a more familiar way to classify the thoughts and ideas in your head. When generating a new note or adding a photo, your first task is to pick a destination by tapping on a folder. You can then add as much or as little information as necessary. The app allows you to create an unlimited number of folders and subfolders, and easily move files between them. The app also includes Dropbox support, search, passcode protection, and the ability to share notes locally over Wi-Fi.

Notes.xls is like having Excel in your pocket. You’re able to use it to calculate daily expenses, track bank accounts, construct budgets, or deal with any other numbers you come across. If you already use Excel on a daily basis, you’ll be happy to know that the syntax formulas work exactly the same. The app also includes two columns, gesture controls, the ability to insert and delete rows, and the ability to share spreadsheets via email.

With After3D, anyone can create a 3-D design thanks to its unique interface. The screen is divided into two parts, with a preview of your model to the left and the drawing area to the right. The drawing area provides a simple 2-D view of your 3-D object. All you need to do is draw lines. The lines can be contorted and attached to each other to create the 3-D model. It’s surprisingly simple and effective. You’re able to share your creations as images or as files that 3-D printers can read.
