Check out the list below to see our top apps for this week!
Musical.ly
Arguably one of the most universal pastimes on the planet, karaoke has been waiting a long time for something that combines the joy of singing with friends with the new world of apps, and Musical.ly does just that. The app lets you and your friends record 15-second videos of your favorite songs that you can then share with others. But the beauty of the app lies in its editing features, which turn your videos into professional-looking ones. Free for: iOS, Android
Scrivener
Writers and journalists have been waiting for an iOS version of Scrivener for years. Like the desktop version, the app functions as a powerful app that also doubles as a tool for organizing your notes and research. If you’re working on the next “great American novel,” but only have time to write it, not translate it, Scrivener offers everything you could possibly need to make it happen. $19.99: iOS
Arro
According to some surveys, New York is the number one tourist destination in the US, but when you get there and need a taxi, Uber can be busy or have very high prices. In that case, you can turn to the Arro app, which allows you to request a ride from one of the city's iconic yellow taxis, to any location. There are no additional charges, just be sure to set the meter to your preferred rate before requesting a ride. Free: iOS, Android
Procreate
The iPad Pro is quickly gaining a lot of fans who wanted a drawing device but preferred the iOS environment offered by Wacom and Microsoft. For those digital artists, Procreate is the king of drawing apps. Offering a wide range of brushes, layers, and instant replay (video of your drawing process), the app is an incredibly powerful alternative to digital art-oriented apps like Photoshop. $5.99: iOS
Astropad
For iPad Pro artists who are familiar with Procreate but still prefer the familiarity of Adobe Photoshop, Astropad is the number one solution. The app, which you'll need to download to both your iPad Pro and your desktop, gives you functionality found on more traditional digital art tablets, like the Wacom Cintiq. $29.99: iOS
Watchville
Made by the people behind the website Hodinkee, which now includes Digg founder Kevin Rose, this app is the ultimate resource for watch fanatics, whether they're interested in vintage analog watches or smartwatches. Free: iOS, Android
Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n
Straight from the paranoid world of hackers in the series of the same name, this game puts you in the shoes of a hacker from fsociety. Using fake messages, as part of a puzzle-adventure game, you work with virtual teams to bring down E Corp aka Evil Corp. $2.99: iOS, Android
