Hi, long time lurker/reader (VERY long time lurker) who just decided to sign up now.

This straight-up feels like an ad. Which I suppose makes sense, considering the site, but it's not really even written like the one from last year, which ACTUALLY sounds like they used the applications: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ixelmator-linky-lost-within-and-more.1940542/

It's so sterile and doesn't really give me any confidence that any of these might ACTUALLY be good. It's just a copy-paste depressing mashup.

Good article. Pocket Tactics also have a good list of quality games on offer too. I've spent a fortune on Apps today!
 
Alto is such a wonderful game. I usually don’t keep games for very long on my iPhone, but this one has been there for a year now and I enjoy playing it from time to time.

For some reason, I have all Infinite Blade games, yet I don’t think I ever had to pay for them…

Alto is great - I played it until completion. V simple mechanics but loads of fun...
 
"Gears" might be a good game, but it hasn't been updated since 2013.
 
I highly recommend Deliveries and Pixelmator - Deliveries answers the "is it here yet? how about now? or now?" questions really well (and syncs nicely between iOS and macOS), and Pixelmator is one of my favorite image editors, its killer feature is a repair tool that's both highly effective and quite usable on iOS (easily vanquish those specks of dust that you only noticed after taking the picture). I'd also recommend PDF Expert (PDF viewing and annotating on iOS with sync via Dropbox and others), the killer feature for me being full-text indexing across all the PDFs you feed it; and Fantastical, my favorite calendar for macOS and iOS, the built-in calendar has caught up somewhat but I still prefer Fantastical's month-calendar-plus-upcoming-list display, to see what is coming up.

Out of all these apps there are two that are the most used for me as they're highly efficient, easy to use, and look good. They're Fantastical and PDF Expert. Both are worth twice what their regular prices are. On sale they're a steal.

PDF Expert is fantastic for stripping one page out of multi-page PDFs and emailing it on or just signing one and sending it to your broker. It's, hands down, the best iOS PDF app out there.
 
I'm using Deliveries right now to track all my other holiday purchases. It's great, and syncs really well with their Dashboard widget.

I highly recommend Space Grunts! Very under-rated from what I see on the App Store. It's a true gem of a game!
 
In the UK, Deliveries is not as useful as it used to be. It's Amazon tracking used to be great but now it's totally useless. Amazon updated their login procedure and Deliveries can no longer cope with it.

is it really worth getting Pixelmator especially when I have the macOS version?
but of course it is cheap.
