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

IcySpark has introduced LinkWords. It’s a free word search game. All words on each level are linked together by a common theme. Swipe your finger across each letter: up, down, left, right or diagonally to form the correct word. Puzzles range from 2×2 grids up to 8×8 grids of 64 letters.

macOS Apps/Updates

Zevrix Solutions has announced PDF Checkpoint 1.7.17, a compatibility update to company’s PDF preflight and conversion solution.

Version 1.7.17 is compatible with macOS 10.12 Sierra.

PDF Checkpoint can be purchased at the Mac App Store and the Zevrix website for $39.95. The update is free to licensed users. A demo is available for download. PDF Checkpoint requires macOS 10.7 or higher.
