Waze
Ever wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to personally direct you about town? Thanks to a canny bit of cross-promotion between the new Terminator Genisys movie and Google-owned navigation app Waze, now you can have everything you wished for and more.
In his guise as the nigh-indestructable Terminator, Arnie will provide turn-by-turn directions, while throwing in some of his trademark one-liners. To use the app, simply download Waze, navigate to the settings menu, then select “Sound” and “Voice Language.”

Dark Sky
Beloved for its super-accurate, minute-by-minute weather forecasts, Dark Sky’s updated version 5.0 app brings a new vertical timeline that lets you check out the next 24 hours of weather — complete with adjustable sliders for viewing precipitation, temperature, wind, humidity, or the UV index.
The app’s makers have thrown in a new notifications system too, while iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners get additional pressure data based on the barometer sensor Apple reportedly added for its latest iPhone. Am I the only one who hadn’t heard of that up until now?

Power
Okay so it’s pretty much the definition of #firstworldproblems, but sometimes you want to check how much battery life is remaining on your iPhone without having to pull it out of your pocket. If you have an Apple Watch now you can, thanks to this nifty Watch app by jailbreaker Thientam Beck.
Now why on earth didn’t Apple make something like this a standard part of WatchOS?

Brigade
Backed by Sean Parker, Brigade is sort of like the Twitter or Tinder of political opinion — with users quizzed on their answers to various issues to find out where they lie on the political spectrum. While it’s available for download, it’s still in beta — but worth an early look if you’re intrigued by the concept.

There are various studies which show that looking at smartphones and tablets just before bed can negatively affect your sleep cycles because of the blue light they emit — tricking your brain into thinking it’s time to wake up.
With that in mind, e-book subscription service Oyster has just upgraded its app (think “Netflix for books”) to gradually filter out blue-light emissions as it gets later. The result? You can read late at night, safe in the knowledge it won’t keep you past the point that you want.
Unless it’s a really good book, that is!

Transistor
The second game of developer Supergiant, Transistor is an epic RPG, originally available for the PlayStation 4, PC and Mac. Featuring console-quality graphics, a great story and one of the most memorable female protagonists I can remember in a recent game, Transistor has my highest recommendations.
So long as you’re happy to lose your entire weekend playing it, that is.
