Five Nights at Freddy's 4 made its official debut on Steam on Friday, but there has been zero news about a mobile release. You can purchase the game now for $7.99 through Steam (Windows only) or wait until it arrives on the App Store.

It was a big week for classic arcade titles. Both Q*bert and Pac-Man received games on the App Store. Our App of the Week, Qbert Rebooted includes the original classic, plus an updated 3D version of the game with new characters and villians.

Bandai Namco on Thursday ported Pac-Man Championship Edition DX to mobile devices. Pac-Man CEDX is the sequel to the popular Pac-Man Championship Edition. The game features 132 mazes, 3 game modes, the infamous dark levels and more. Pac-Man CEDX is available for $4.99 on the App Store.

If I had to pick one word to describe this week's App Store releases it would be "meh". The only truly noteworthy release was Don't Starve: Pocket Edition for the iPad.

The popular third-party keyboard Fleksy is now a free app. It has also been updated with 5 new summer themes, the ability to add multiple Hotkey extensions and more. You can download the keyboard for free on the App Store.

Apple released iOS 8.4 and its new music streaming service on Tuesday. Apple Music has been met with mixed reviews, and much confusion. Apple is forcing users to pick a monthly subscription plan before they can access the music service for free. iOS users must pick a $10 or $14 monthly plan, then disable the automatic renewal option in their Settings if they don't want to be charge in 3-months when their free trial ends. There is also some confusion about the difference between "Apple Music" and "Beats 1", and why Apple Music is part of the stock Music app. You can check out our Apple Music Guide for the answer to all of these questions.
