Want to know what apps have been occupying
our Macs and iOS devices this past week

00:05.440 --> 00:10.880
Well you've come to the right place. Whether you're looking for
an entertaining puzzle game or a great update for a fun fitness

00:10.880 --> 00:22.899
app, we've got you covered. So let's get started. The touch bar for
Apple's new MacBook Pro has received something of a mixed appraisal

00:22.899 --> 00:27.200
from critics, with many people suggesting
that it has potential, but maybe it isn't

00:27.200 --> 00:33.240
quite right for all users yet. If you're tempted by the
upgrade, but want to try before you buy, you can get a free

00:33.240 --> 00:41.419
taster courtesy of Red Sweater Software's new Mac app Touche. Touche lets
any Mac replicate the MacBook Pro's touch bar, complete with all of the

00:41.419 --> 00:49.319
customisation options Apple has been so keen to sell users on. Sure, you
don't get the actual touch aspect of it, but if you want a menu bar that gives

00:49.319 --> 00:55.319
you an idea of how well Apple's newest innovation
works, this is well worth checking out

00:55.319 --> 00:59.299
If you're in the mood for a fun puzzle game,
Asymmetric has got you covered with a deceptively

00:59.299 --> 01:04.019
simple brain teaser, in which you must reunite
two characters, each on either side of the

01:04.019 --> 01:12.419
screen, by guiding them through mazes. The catch? That each move you
make controls both characters, but each moves in opposite directions

01:12.419 --> 01:17.900
There are 66 different levels in all, offering a
variety of obstacles, themes and character pairs

01:17.900 --> 01:22.540
The game also boasts an enjoyable piano
based soundtrack and a charming art style

01:22.540 --> 01:29.620
This is definitely recommended. We've long been fans of the
excellent Carrot series of apps, and this week Carrot Fit just

01:29.620 --> 01:34.379
got a big update with the addition of extra
content for its 7 Minutes of Hell workouts

01:34.379 --> 01:40.980
Just in time for the holidays. For those unfamiliar with it,
Carrot takes concepts like to-do lists, alarm clocks, weather

01:40.980 --> 01:47.500
apps and, yes, workout trackers, and augments them
with a sarcastic, wise-cracking AI taskmaster

01:47.500 --> 01:51.620
Carrot Fit's update incorporates a new visual
look, easier accessing of workout history

01:51.620 --> 01:57.699
and Apple Watch integration. We've been waiting for WhatsApp
to offer video calling since the feature first leaked out

01:57.699 --> 02:05.699
last December, and this week it finally rolled it out. The app's latest
update lets users video chat with other WhatsApp users, including those

02:05.699 --> 02:12.820
not using iOS devices for free. Right now the feature looks a
little bit basic, but Manpreet Singh, aka WhatsApp's lead mobile

02:12.820 --> 02:18.940
engineer, has promised it will evolve. Well that's
it for this week's awesome apps of the week

02:18.940 --> 02:22.940
I'll make sure to leave links to all the apps
