https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars/id557137623?mt=8" target="_blank">Angry Birds Star Wars[/url], a $1 offering for iPhone and iPad, was so popular it spawned a sequel even before developers were finished with this game's updates. The "final conclusion" adds 30 new levels to the game and lets users "enter the Death Star for an epic showdown with Lard Vader and the Emperor!" Just guessing they'll really ham up Vader's death scene. </p></div></figure><figure class="slide"><figcaption>Flipboard</figcaption><img data-imageid="100220684" src="

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flipboard-your-social-news/id358801284" target="_blank">Flipboard[/url], of course, was the original "social news magazine" for iPad, and it keeps finding ways to push forward. This week's update lets users share stories from the app with their friends—and users can, in turn, receive notifications from their friends. What's this mean? The service that started out by making the links in your social networks look pretty is now becoming a bit of a social network itself.</p></div></figure><figure class="slide"><figcaption>Mailbox</figcaption><img data-imageid="100220690" src="

Now more people can enjoy its features: This week's update expands the app from a Gmail-only offering to include iCloud and Yahoo email accounts; it also now offers background syncing.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2081845/the-week-in-ios-apps-a-wretched-hive.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
