**Apple Music Hits 10 Million Paying Subscribers in Just Six Months**

In a surprise move, Apple Music has announced that it has hit the milestone of 10 million paying subscribers in just six months. This is a significant achievement for the music streaming service, and it's clear that it's making waves in the industry. For context, Spotify took six years to reach this same milestone, while Google Play Music All Access hasn't even come close. Apple Music's rapid growth is likely to leave other streaming services shaking in their boots.

**Context on Apple Music's Growth**

To put this into perspective, let's take a look at the apps and games that made a big splash this week. But first, we need to acknowledge Apple Music's impressive growth. With 10 million paying subscribers in just six months, it's clear that the service is gaining traction quickly. This is especially notable given its relatively short history compared to other music streaming services.

**The Apps and Games That Made the Cut**

So, what apps and games made the cut this week? We've got a few interesting ones here. One of them is "I Have No Mouth," a port of the classic 1995 PC game of the same name. This point-and-click adventure game with text-based RPG elements has you playing as five characters who are being eternally tortured by a supercomputer that has enslaved the world. The game boasts a dark and graphic storyline, along with options for touch controls or on-screen controls, graphic settings, alternate endings, and more. And the best part? There are no in-app purchases to be found.

**Skrwt: A Photo Manipulation Tool**

Another app worth mentioning is Skrwt, a photo manipulation tool that boasts a lot of functionality. The idea behind the application is to correct issues like lens distortion, change aspect ratios, and vignette correction. But you can also get creative and warp photos into unique abstract images that you can then post anywhere you want. This is especially useful for serious photographers who need to get lens correction done.

**Pokémon Parody "Pocket Morty" Hits the App Store**

Next up is Pocket Morty, a Pokémon parody based on Adult Swim's hit show Rick and Morty. In this game, you control Rick as he battles his Morty against other Ricks with their own Mortys. The story revolves around how the Morties are being separated from their Ricks, and it features all of the game's usual quirkiness and fun phrases.

**"Facebook Mentions Was" Released**

And finally, we have "Facebook Mentions Was," an application that none of you will probably use. This is meant for celebrities and celebrity-adjacent individuals who need to manage their fan pages more effectively. You can post live videos, reply to fans, and update your social media accounts simultaneously across multiple platforms.

**The Room 3: A Puzzle Game That's Already Impressing**

Last but not least, we have The Room 3, a puzzle game that's already exceeding expectations. This game builds on the success of its predecessors, with clever puzzles, amazing graphics, expanded environments, and even alternate endings. It also comes with Google Play Games achievements and cloud saves.

**Asog: A Calling Service That's Worth Checking Out**

We're not done yet! Asog is a calling service that boasts the ability to make free phone calls to any other Asog user, without requiring them to have the service installed. And the best part? It worked perfectly during our testing, allowing us to call landlines without any issues. This service is useful for anyone who wants to stay in touch with friends and family without breaking the bank.
