Top 5 apps for your new iPhone 5S

The iPhone 5S was officially released in the UAE yesterday with a prices starting at AED 2749 at both Etisalat and du. If you managed to secure one, we’re sure that you’re looking for some apps that make use of the shiny new iOS 7 that comes with your new iPhone. We’re here to help and have put together a list of five apps that are awesome and deserve a slot on your springboard.

1) Tweetbot 3

The very popular Twitter client was recently updated to match the look of iOS 7 and we think that it’s the best twitter app for your iPhone. With a beautiful design, smooth operations and all the functionality that twitter has to offer, Tweetbot is a must for anyone that uses Twitter on their iPhone.

2) Flipboard 

The beautiful news aggregating service continues to be one of the best ways to browse for news. Flipboard recently added the option of creating your own “magazines” from different sources and then sharing them with your friends. The iOS 7 version integrates the swipes built into the new OS allowing you to navigate easily.

3) Podcasts 

Apple updated their PodCasts apps with the launch of iOS 7 giving it the same beautiful makeover as the OS. With support for syncing podcasts between your Mac and other iOS devices, Apple’s Podcasts continues to be one of the best apps for listening or watching podcasts.

4) Fantastical 

While most parts of iOS 7 are good, there are a few apps that we think could use improvement and the calendar is one of them. The very minimal design doesn’t show you a lot of what is up and coming. Thankfully you have Fantastical which, as the name suggests, is a fantastic app for Calendar junkies. The app is so good that we think Apple should have bought the company and used it as the stock calendar app for iOS 7.

5) ARGUS Motion and Fitness Tracker by Azumio


Your new iPhone 5S comes with an M7 processor that can track you daily steps, movements and runs. Why not take use of it? ARGUS has a good app that can not only track your steps but can also manage your food, sleep, hydration, weight and vitals. Just make sure your iPhone is in your pocket.
