Although Hyper hit the iPad in 2015, an iPhone-specific version debuted this year, and it's fantastic. It's staffed by filmmakers who curate the best video content on the web at the moment -- from original short films to up-and-coming comedy, short-form documentaries, and news. You swipe Tinder-style through the picks, watching those that interest you on the spot, or saving them for later. As you swipe, the app is acquainted with your tastes, and will eventually begin serving up videos that you're more likely to want to watch or save. Once you use it for a few days, you'll be hooked.
Hyper虽然在2015年是iPad 上炙手可热的App，但随着iPhone专用版的推出，也获得了很好的反响。这个App的制作团队是由时下最优秀的视频制片人组成的--从原来的微电影到喜剧，简短的纪录片和新闻都有涉猎。你可以从精选出的视频中挑选看你感兴趣的内容，也可以之后将视频保存下来。当你观看一些视频时，app也会熟悉你的喜好，并将根据你的喜好给你推荐一些你可能想看或保存的视频。一旦使用了几天后，你就会上瘾。

Although the 1.0 version of the journaling app Day One launched five years ago, the confusingly named Day One 2 app is essentially an entire rebuild, and incorporates a crop of great new features. For instance, now you can do things like add up to 10 different photos to individual entries, easily organize multiple different journals (maybe you have one for work, one personal one, another just for vacations, etc.), and switch to a map view to visualize entries based on where you were when you wrote them.
虽然这个日志应用程序第一版在五年前就已推出，但这款app的第二个版本的设计完全颠覆了上一个版本，并包含了很多新功能。例如，你现在可以上传最多10张不同的图片作为个人作品，也可以轻松管理大量日志（也许你有一个工作的分类，一个人的，另一个是休假的等等），并切换到地图看你是在哪里记录下的这些日志。

It had the most first-week downloads of any app ever in the Apple App Store, and grossed the most revenue and downloads of any mobile game ever in its first month. Pokémon GO may have been an objectively silly app that caused people to risk their lives to "catch" tiny virtual monsters, but this mobile phenomenon gives us insight into the future of gaming appsthat meld the virtual and real world in an engaging way.
它已经在苹果App应用商店占据了第一周的下载量之首，也在上市的第一个月，在所有手机游戏中收获了最高的收入和下载量。宠物精灵去也许是一个现实化的应用软件，引起了人们想要冒着生命危险“抓”小小的虚拟的怪物的欲望，但这种现象也让我们看到了游戏软件的未来，即将虚拟和现实世界相融合。
