Why DIY fans are obsessed with TikTok [sponsor]
Sometimes, a quick Google search just won’t cut it when you’re trying to figure out how to do something (i.e. when interpreting your Ikea assembly instructions feels like you’re in the next installment of The Da Vinci Code). For those times when you need a little extra instruction, or those DIY project weekends you geek out over, there’s no better platform to go to than TikTok.
DragEnabler enables iPad-like Drag and Drop functionality on iPhones at no extra cost
iPad users have long been able to enjoy multitasking-centric features such as Drag and Drop and multi-window interfaces, but iPhone users have been somewhat unlucky in this department, mostly because Apple limits these features to the iPad since it’s marketed as a mobile productivity device.
If you’re jailbroken, however, then you don’t need to play by these asinine limitations. A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed DragEnabler by iOS developer Skitty permits iPad-like drag and drop functionality on unsupported devices, including the iPhone and iPod touch.

Hapticker offers haptic feedback for most of what you do in iOS

Learn new languages with a lifetime subscription to Mondly
Learning a new language can be hard work, especially when you do it the traditional way. Classes either move too slow or too fast, and you rarely get the individual attention and feedback that language acquisition requires. The old way of practicing involves rote memorization and tedious hours spent with a textbook. There's a reason why so many people took two years of French in college but can't even ask where the bathroom is.
Wallpapers of the week: Earth
The big globe we all call home, is quite striking. As Sir David Attenborough claims, "the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living." In this Earth wallpaper collection, we capture just a slice of that sentiment for iPhone and iPad.

Give your 3D Touch menus a makeover with Baylor
You can press firmly on your Home screen’s app icons on any 3D Touch-compatible handset to access handy shortcuts pertaining to that specific app, and while they can be useful at times, it’s equally valid that Apple provides little or no customizability in this department.
