Swiftkey Free IOS www.snipca.com/35142 Android www.snipca.com/35143

One of the most popular alternativ­e keyboards with both IOS and Android users, the latest update to Swiftkey increases linguistic support to 400 languages, of which five can be enabled simultaneo­usly. It also introduces a new one-handed mode, which is a half-width keyboard that pops up when you long-press on the emoji key. With screens getting bigger all the time, this last feature alone could save you a lot of stretching.

Pixelmator £4.99 IOS www.snipca.com/35146

There’s a whole raft of updates in the latest IOS version of this comprehens­ive photoediti­ng app, including integratio­n with the Files app, which makes managing your creations simpler. Elsewhere, improvemen­ts to the image browser make opening pictures from your Photos library easier, and there’s a new imagecreat­ion tool with presets for common document sizes.

Wavelet Free Android www.snipca.com/35144

This nine-band graphic equaliser has been optimised for 2,400 different headphones, so should be just what music fans need to get the best possible sound when listening on the go. The free app has auto equalisati­on, a limiter to remove unwanted volume peaks, a multi-band equaliser and the ability to restore balance between the left and right channels. Upgrading for £4.39 adds bass boost, simulated reverb, a bass tuner and a virtualize­r that widens/narrows the stereo effect.
