In the weekly section Missed App you can read which apps from the past week are worth checking out. We always discuss about five apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac. These could be apps you may not have known about or that are useful or just funny to try. And that could include old-timers who have received a major update and are therefore getting some extra attention.
Discussed earlier this week on iCulture:
- Finally: Spotify for Apple Watch can be offline play music
- Listening without iPhone: Deezer for Apple Watch now works with offline music
- Microsoft Teams now also for personal use
- Shooting with large screen: popular camera app Halide now also for iPad
iCulture App of the Week: Soosee Almost a year ago, Soosee, an app developed by the Dutch Jordi Bruin, appeared. The app is intended to recognize allergies by means of nutrition labels. Those are also recognized. This week the app has received nice additions. The update is useful for traveling. If you cannot eat certain things, you can create a travel card. It states in the local language what not to eat, so that a restaurant employee understands you correctly.
You can use standard phrases that you can also set as a favorite. The travel cards are also suitable for the Apple Watch. The messages range from simple questions or comments about dieting to requests for help if you have an allergic reaction and need to go to hospital. Of course this is also possible in translation apps, but it is useful to have one app specially designed for this.

Vekt
If you want to lose weight or gain weight, it helps for some people to use an app for this. With the right motivation, this can serve as a big stick. A simple but effective app for this is Vekt, which means 'Weight'. means in Norwegian. The app was developed by the Dutchman Hidde van der Ploeg. Vekt calculates on the basis of your BMI what is the smooth running of your process. The intention is to also celebrate the small steps, which you can clearly see in the app.

Pok Pok
There are many games out there for kids, but we rarely see games that are really well designed. Pok Pok belongs to that rarer category. This game is actually a collection of games that should stimulate your child's creativity while learning. The app contains handcrafted games with no end or specific & lsquo; route & rsquo ;. This way your child can find out for himself what the intention is and there are no wrong answers. New games will be added regularly, the maker promises. Pok Pok is also available in Dutch and requires a subscription of & euro; 3.99 per month. Because of its design and idea, the app is definitely worth a try.
& nbsp;
Microsoft Teams
We all know Microsoft Teams as a way to meet online at work or school. As of this week, Microsoft Teams is also suitable for private use. Nothing has changed in the design, but you can now call up to 300 people for free for up to 24 hours. After the pandemic, Microsoft wants to limit this to 100 people, but that still seems more than enough for most situations.
