We’ve got a mix of “new” new and “old” new in this week’s roundup of the best apps for iOS devices and Macs.

A new scoring app frees board game players from pesky pens and pencils, and a new avatar app gives users a futuristic way to establish and secure their online identities. Meanwhile, upgrades to well-known apps Brave (a fast web browser for privacy freaks) and Carrot Weather (a sarcastic weather app for masochists) gain interesting new features. Image-editing app Photo Sense and Luna Display also got big upgrades.

If only “Cut, Copy, Paste” commands worked everywhere on your computer.

This invaluable tool allows you to lift text from any image with the click of a button. And right now, the Mac app is available for just $3.99.

Always dreamed of writing your own novel but don’t know where to begin? You’re not alone. Fiction writing can be intimidating, and it’s no coincidence that novice novelists often run into the same problems, like starting with a heavy exposition or lacking continuity in plot or setting.

Even if you’ve finally figured out how to flesh out your characters, there’s the actual writing part of it — that’s a whole other story.

Have you ever seen a language app translator get frazzled? It happens often: Every language is filled with nuance, so copying and pasting a paragraph of text often results in funny mistranslations. Translating a language with algorithms is difficult, and computer languages are no different.

That’s precisely what PDF Reader Pro was made for. This Mac app allows you to edit PDFs to tweak text, replace images or annotate a few lines. Available at an additional 20% off for Mother’s Day with code WELOVEMOM, PDF Reader Pro is just $31.99 for a limited time.

Language is a complicated thing. You could spend years studying a language and still not quite fully grasp all the colloquialisms that native speakers regularly use. So when you visit another country where you don’t really speak the language, it can feel a little nerve-wracking navigating a new space without the help of a local.
