New in Apps and Games This Week

Cast shadows to solve puzzles, travel to Mars, and organize everything in your watch list.

Play with shadows

In the all-new Cueva de las Manos, your room transforms into an ancient cave—and shadows cast by your hands become essential tools. Throughout, you’ll play with light and physics to solve puzzles while learning about the Argentinian cave that inspired the game.


Tour the world...and Mars

Enter a street address or landmark in Waddle to drop yourself into an immersive 360-degree view of that location. In the app’s 2.0 release, you can even journey to Mars to take in the landscapes from images captured by NASA.


See constellations up close

Night Sky is full of stunning planetarium views and immersive tours that make space feel just a little closer. We love tapping on a constellation to learn more about its makeup, including the history of its namesake.


Track your “want-to-dos”

The Editors’ Choice app Sofa is a fun and visual way to organize books to read, movies and shows to watch, music to listen to, games to play, and more. The app’s latest update adds the ability to view your import history, making it easier to fix misidentified media.


Pop into the new Bloons map

Unlock the new magical Skywarden monkey unit for your squad in Bloons TD 6+. The tower defense game also just dropped the Ascent map and a skin for the Hero monkey Corvus.


In case you missed it…

Experience an F50 sailing race

SailGP RaceScape XR, a futuristic app for the international racing series, surrounds you with 3D models of F50 catamarans and on-board camera feeds from these high-speed competitions. Catch up on this season’s eight events in the app—and get ready for the Rockwool Germany Sail Grand Prix on August 22–23.


Optimize your morning

Morning Brief gives you a comprehensive look at the day ahead, providing the weather, your commute time, upcoming events, stock performance, and relevant headlines, all overlaid in your space.


Eat green

With exclusive vegan and vegetarian recipes, Seeds is on a mission to help everyone eat more sustainably. On Apple Vision Pro, the recipes look especially mouthwatering and are accompanied by 3D models of all the cookware you’ll need. The app just added new recipes for summer: dan dan noodles, cherry almond muffins, and chickpea arrabbiata pasta.


Edit videos on the big screen

The all-new Adobe Premiere for visionOS seriously upgrades your video-editing workflow. Review and add clips (including spatial video) to your project, add transitions and effects, and edit through your timeline with precision. When you’re ready, export your work to view at stunning scale right on Apple Vision Pro.
