The most interesting and useful news of the App Store for the month.

Applications

1. Poparazzi

An unusual social network, the creators of which have declared war on narcissism and set themselves the goal of showing people's lives without embellishment. You cannot publish your photos on Poparazzi yourself - your friends do it for you. You are acting as a paparazzi for them. Also, there are no comments, hashtags and filters on the social network. Everything is as simple and realistic as possible.

2. Brite

A flexible productivity app that can replace task planner, notes, habit tracker, diary and more. Thanks to Brite's customizable modules, the toolbox can be easily customized to fit your needs. All selected functions are conveniently displayed in the form of multi-colored blocks and will always be at hand.

3. Coinpath

A laconic finance manager with a clean design and clear data display. Coinpath has 25 standard categories, built-in calculator and statistics. Navigation is done with gestures, and new entries are added in seconds. There is also a function for setting a budget limit, handy widgets with daily statistics and password protection.

4. Four7Eleven

A useful breathing app to help you cope with stress, anxiety and insomnia. The Four7Eleven is based on the 4–7–11 breathing exercise method. It is recommended to perform it during the day, focusing on the on-screen prompts and smartphone vibration. For convenience, the developers have also added a reminder widget.

5. Flow

An interesting video editor for creating videos with cool transitions. Flow differs from other analogs in the detailed setting of the motion effect, due to which the videos are more dynamic and do not look stereotyped. All transitions also have customizable sound effects. In addition, it is possible to add your own music.

Games

1. Divinity - Original Sin 2

A solid port of one of the deepest fantasy RPGs, including all the add-ons that came out for the game. Choose one of five classes and create a unique character with a character on which the entire gameplay will depend. Explore the multi-faceted open world of Rivellon, alone or with friends, as you battle treacherous enemies in turn-based tactical battles and collect powerful artifacts.

2. Samorost 1

Reissue of the original mini-adventure game with improved graphics and sound, which will tell you how the adventures of the little gnome in space began. Help a cute creature in pajamas to save his house, preventing the collision of his home planet with an asteroid. And at the same time, enjoy the beautiful views of the tiny world.

3. Mad Skills Motocross 3

A motocross-themed side-scroller racing game with explosive gameplay and realistic physics. Try your hand at hundreds of expertly designed tracks. Unlock new bikes, customize them and rider gear to perform mind-blowing stunts and win the toughest races.

4. Niffelheim

A dark fantasy action game about the adventures of a Viking who fell in battle, who after his death ended up not in Valhalla, but in the land of giants Niflheim. Now he has to build a fortress and explore dungeons to crush enemies and the Priests of Death. The warrior uses the trophies and resources obtained after killing to build a portal to get to Asgard and find the last refuge.

5. One Escape

A funny puzzle platformer about three unlucky friends who tried to rob a bank but ended up in jail. Help the anthropomorphic wild boar, gorilla and duck organize their prison break. Look for keys, hide from guards and avoid traps to get the three losers free.
