  "account": "Here are seven free iPhone Duo apps that are fully optimized for the dual-screen form factor, according to the source material:\n\n1. PianoFold - A piano music game where musical tiles fall down the screen for you to tap in the correct rhythm. Works in every Duo orientation and has daily free song unlocks.\n\n2. Battlefleet Duo - A strategy game that reinvents the classic Battleship. Works in unfolded landscape mode with enhanced 3D graphics, or in tabletop mode with a physical board layout. Free version gives two games per day against AI or online players.\n\n3. Art of Flora - A relaxing puzzle game that pieces together botanical illustrations. Supports Duo's large screen in both landscape and portrait modes. First 10 puzzles are free.\n\n4. Pools - A psychological horror walking simulator set in liminal spaces inspired by The Backrooms. Features stunning light and water physics in all graphics presets. Free version has one chapter, the rest require a purchase.\n\n5. Spotify - The popular music streaming app works great in unfolded Duo mode with playlist and song split-screen view. Still has a black bar on the right side when closed.\n\n6. Slack - A collaboration app that uses the Duo's larger screen and vertical nav bar for channels, direct messages and menus. Works well in unfolded mode, less so in folded form.\n\n7. TfL Go - The official Transport for London app gets a sleek upgrade on the iPhone Duo, showcasing the device's capabilities with its larger display.",
