It'd be an understatement to say that the Apple App Store is a big place - there are thousands of new titles hitting its digital shelves each and every week.

It's an unprecedented situation that often results in great games being overlooked, buried under a mountain of soulless endless runners, tepid Candy Crush clones, and uninspired MMOs.

Here are some newly released games that'll keep your tablet or smartphone 'appy this November:

My preferred eReader app

I was an early adopter of the Kindle and now use the Kindle App on my Android Tablet. Combining the eReader with Audible allows you to jump between an audio book and the written word with ease.

Also, just as an added benefit the text size adjustment is very intuitive and easy to resize on the go. Great for when you are changing between devices.

I hadn't watched this film in years until I went on vacation this past summer and wanted to download some movies to my tablet. It is definitely one of my favorites, and in my opinion, is still as entertaining today as back when I originally watched it as a kid. The music is catchy, and the songs are getting stuck in my head just thinking about it.

Best tablet iv ever owned

I own the Apple iPad pro 10.5inch and it's litterally like a computer especially with the keyboard I brought as well. You can do pretty much everything on these iv tried all sorts of tablets and this one is by far the best thing IV ever spent money on. Highly recommended the iPad pro. iPhones aren't the best but iPads are the one!

Love the Kindle app - when not reading on my Kindle or from a paperback copy, I can easily read from my phone or tablet.

All the books that you own are always there and available to be downloaded in just one click! It's very easy to make notes and highlight paragraphs, as well as tailor the fonts, size, etc. to your liking, for a better reading experience. I highly recommend it!

Great selection of TV and films (1 more)

Can download programmes

Sometimes forgets where you've watched to (0 more)

I have lost count of the amount of series I have binge watched on Netflix now.
I initially was just just going to use the one month free so I would be able to finish watching The Originals but, low and behold, almost two years in I'm still watching.
The selection of TV shows and films are great. They're often things I've meant to watch but haven't had a chance to yet but there they are.
Downloading programmes for on the go is definitely a plus. I like to have a few in my tablet in case I get stuck anywhere or the Internet where I'm staying isn't the greatest.
Only drawback is sometimes Netflix forgets exactly where you were in a programme of you switch between devices (start watching on the tablet and then resume on the TV later). It's such a trivial complaint however that it hasn't put me off.

Why are you so addicting?!?

Candy Crush is one of those games that is so stupidly simple that you can lose literal hours just playing it but at the same time you can get stuck on a level and get so frustrated you want to throw your phone/tablet out a freaking window.

Try toon blast, it's a better version of this thought process, not the actual game, but the things you like...

Books Everywhere!

No more heavy books to lug when traveling! I have been a Kindle aficionado since 2010, and while I still buy books (what true book hound doesn’t?), it’s definitely a smaller number than before. Kindle Unlimited is a worthwhile $10/month for me as I average about 20 books per month or more. I can read on my phone, tablet, or computer. Love Kindle!

Battery Life (1 more)

Charging time

I picked this up at Christmas for the kids. The tablet itself runs fine for what the kids are using it for the most- music, games and video's, but none of them have tried using it for homework. So far the only complaint would be that the battery life isn't long enough if the kids want to use it multiple times a day, and then it takes a long time to charge.

Can anyone recommend a good tablet/laptop please?

I'm looking at replacing my current MacBook and iPad as they're both getting a bit old, preferably with a device that works the same as both. I'll mainly be using it for web browsing, media storage and document creation. Plus it'd need to be compatible with other devices including an android phone and a kindle.

I've been eyeing up both the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro, but I'm struggling to decide between them, and there could be other alternatives out there in addition to these.

Any recommendations?
