On a regular basis, Apple World Today posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they’re popular and deserve mention. Here are today’s picks.

iOS Apps/Updates

Conch Pearl Media has launched SpotCayman 7.0, the 2017 Cayman Islands Edition of the $9.99 travel app for iOS and Apple Watch devices. SpotCayman has mapped and listed, over 300 restaurants in Cayman, 80 WiFi hotspots, all hotels, shopping, island attractions, tour operators, dive sites, doctors, churches, car rental agencies and more. It now incorporates Apple Watch and 3D Touch.

Fumb Games has introduced Crossbar Challenge ’17. The free game mixes the shooting mechanics of Paper Toss with the character and item collectible aspects of other mobile games. The player must swipe up to kick the ball and hit the crossbar as many times as they can. Successful hits of the crossbar rewards players with stars, which allows them to unlock 40-plus new characters and balls that change the game in some way.

Thousand Realms has debuted Fire Gate. It’s a free multiplayer fantasy that may be played asynchronously with your friends. Within the Thousand Realms macrocosm, players can take their characters from one game to the next, jumping among genres as varied as dragon slaying to steampunk and beyond.
