PRIMEPHONIC

The big streaming

services have

catalogues of

classical music,

but they weren’t

built for classical.

Primephonic was.

It rethinks search

for the genre,

and emphasises

discovery to help

you broaden your

horizons beyond

the usual suspects.

There’s great audio

quality too: up to

24-bit lossless.

£9.99/month /

Android, iOS

Cs MUSIC

PLAYER

Apple’s Music app

is now obsessed

with Apple’s Music

service, so Cs recalls

the halcyon days

when you could

focus more on

your collection. Its

re-arrangeable tabs

quickly get you to

artists, albums and

playlists, and tracks

can be re-ordered

with a prod or two.

It all feels a bit retro,

but in the best

possible way.

MAGINARY

Remember those
books when you
were a kid that
clumsily inserted
you into the story
by adding your
name? This is
like that, but not
rubbish. Through
interactions with
your device, you
feel immersed in
events – even the
IAP unlock is part
of the story. It’s
a clever mash-up
of narrative and
mobile tech.

Podcasts are like

the best bits of

radio in a format

you can enjoy at

your leisure. Head

to bit.ly/stuffcasts

for our picks, and

use Pocket Casts

to blast them into

your ears. This

premium app now

lacks a price-tag

but is still full of

handy features,

like silence trimming

and speech boost

for talky shows.

WE FLIP

Google’s been on a mission

in recent months, pumping

out a range of digital wellbeing

experiments. Most fall under

the ‘health’ banner, but We Flip

is more fun. You and friends all

flip a switch together, and if

someone unlocks their phone,

you can then check out how

long you all lasted – and how

many sneaky peeks occurred.

INFUSE PRO 6

This video player continues to
excel. It still pulls content from
anywhere you point it at, and
then seamlessly plays it on
your Apple device. But now
libraries sit in the cloud for full
sync, on-demand subs are
fully ad-free, and AirPlay 2 is
supported. If the price-tag’s
too rich, try the free but limited
non-Pro version.
