The Week in iOS Apps: May the force be with you
May the force be with youAngry Birds Star Wars II is out. Should we tell you about other apps, or do you already know how you're spending all your waking hours this week? Angry Birds Star Wars IIThe original version of Angry Birds Star Wars had a profound effect on my then 4-year-old son. He started singing the Star Wars theme all the time. I’d wake up to hear him launching himself from his bed at an imaginary pile of space pigs. His birthday cake? An Angry Birds Death Star. Which is why I’m begging you: Let’s keep the arrival of Angry Birds Star Wars II, a $1 app for iPhone and iPad, to ourselves. OK?FIFA 14As with EA Sports’s other games, FIFA 14, the latest version of the popular futbol game, arrives on iPad and iPhone in “freemium” format.

The game also feature new touch controls and multiplayer capabilities.Life NotedThe Life Noted app for iPhone combines “calendaring, note taking, photography and video apps.” It’s a planner that’s got a little bit of Evernote’s DNA, and syncs with the phone’s native calendar.
