Want to know what apps have been occupying our Macs and iOS devices this past week
0:05
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
0:10
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
0:22
from critics, with many people suggesting that it has potential, but maybe it isn't
0:27
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
0:33
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
0:41
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
0:49
you an idea of how well Apple's newest innovation works, this is well worth checking out
0:55
If you're in the mood for a fun puzzle game, Asymmetric has got you covered with a deceptively
0:59
simple brain teaser, in which you must reunite two characters, each on either side of the
1:04
screen, by guiding them through mazes. The catch? That each move you make controls both characters, but each moves in opposite directions
1:12
There are 66 different levels in all, offering a variety of obstacles, themes and character pairs
1:17
The game also boasts an enjoyable piano based soundtrack and a charming art style
1:22
This is definitely recommended. We've long been fans of the excellent Carrot series of apps, and this week Carrot Fit just
1:29
got a big update with the addition of extra content for its 7 Minutes of Hell workouts
1:34
Just in time for the holidays. For those unfamiliar with it, Carrot takes concepts like to-do lists, alarm clocks, weather
1:40
apps and, yes, workout trackers, and augments them with a sarcastic, wise-cracking AI taskmaster
1:47
Carrot Fit's update incorporates a new visual look, easier accessing of workout history
1:51
and Apple Watch integration. We've been waiting for WhatsApp to offer video calling since the feature first leaked out
1:57
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
2:05
not using iOS devices for free. Right now the feature looks a little bit basic, but Manpreet Singh, aka WhatsApp's lead mobile
2:12
engineer, has promised it will evolve. Well that's it for this week's awesome apps of the week
2:18
