Notable apps and app updates for Aug. 2, 2016

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

Pantone has launched the PANTONE Studio. The free app is designed to provide greater convenience in capturing Pantone color, building and testing that color in palettes, and sharing work directly into design software, on social media, or with friends, clients, and collaborators.

Anawiki Games has debuted World Uncovered. The app — game, part travel companion — aims to take users to places they’ve never been, all while encouraging them to examine their daily routines.World Uncovered tracks your travels for you and maps them in detail. It will show you where you’ve been, how fast and how high you were going, and how often you’ve returned to your favorite places. It’s free to download and use for the first 270 miles/500 kilometers of travel. Unlimited use is a one-time unlock for $1.99.

Intelligent Apps has rolled out iSummary 1.0. It’s a $2.99 productivity app for obtaining extracted summaries of news and other documents. An artificial intelligence algorithm locates the most relevant facts in a story and generates short summaries that help the reader quickly grasp the main points from a document.
