Genshin Impact is an open-world fantasy game that’s not-to-dissimilar from Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s available on a number of different platforms, including Playstation. It’s also free.
Given the pandemic, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that a video conference app was one of the most popular apps of 2020. But Zoom is also optimized for the iPad and runs very well on the new iPadOS.
This strategy card game is set in the same world as League of Legends. You pick a champion and combine ability cards that match their stats and the region to gain a tactical advantage.
This is a powerful calendar app that’s optimized for the Mac. It’s compatible with a wide-variety of third-party apps and works well across all your other Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

From noise-canceling headphones to smart plugs, bookshelf speakers to wireless chargers, we’ve rounded up our favorite tech gadgets that we use everyday.
Endel is technically a music streaming app, but it doesn’t play music like you’re used to. Instead of podcasts or your playlists, Endel plays stress-reducing sounds to help lower your heart rate (yes, it works in tandem with your Apple Watch’s heart rate sensor).
Just over a year old, Disney+ is already one of the most popular streaming services out there. It has great original content, like The Mandalorian and Taylor Swift’s Folklore, as well as exclusive rights to movies from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic.
This is a fun 2D platforming game similar to Hollow Knight or Ori and the Blind Forest. It puts you in the shoes of Dandara, a heroine who must save the people from a cruel oppressor.
