Calendars 5 goes free for 48 hours: get it while you can!

When Calendars 5 came out back in September of last year, we called it one of the best calendar apps for iOS. At the regular price of $6.99, it was a no-brainer for people looking for a powerful alternative to the stock calendar app, but it was a purchase hard to justify to people who don't necessarily need a better calendar.

As of today, price will not be an issue as Calendars 5 is going free for the next 48 hours or so. Our advice, you might have figured it out by now, is to grab this app while you can...

Hot on the heels of i0n1c's proofs that he had jailbroken an iPhone 5c running iOS 7.1.1, iOS hacker winocm has come up with her own untethered jailbreak successfully running on an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.1.

While not as impressive as i0n1c's proof, winocm claims that her jailbreak could be brought to newer devices if someone was willing to "put in the effort."

Flappy Bird: New Season – an unapologetic clone as good as the original

If you can't wait for the official return of Flappy Bird in the App Store, then here is a clone that will surely keep you tapping your iPhone screen frenetically until this Summer. Called Flappy Bird: New Season, this clone is as close as the original as it gets.

As a matter of fact, it is so close, that even the developer's name is the same as the original Flappy Bird's Dong Nguyen. But don't be fooled, this is still a clone, even though some of the raving reviews peg the game as the "closest clone to the original version."

Watch maker Swatch not happy about Apple’s yet to be announced iWatch

Swiss watch maker Swatch is not happy about Apple's iWatch. To be more specific, the company is not happy about the fact that Apple's wearable may be called iWatch, a name that definitely sounds a lot like iSwatch, a trademark registered by the watch maker for one of its lines of watches.

Nevermind the fact that Apple has yet to unveil the iWatch, which by the way might not even be called iWatch, Swatch is going on the offensive...

Hold2Speak now available in Cydia

I'm sure Jeff would have liked to share the news himself, but since he's currently unavailable, I'll be the one to announce that Hold2Speak is now available in Cydia.

Hold2Speak was born from an original concept by Jeff, who wanted a way to answer phone calls directly into speaker mode. Thanks to the jailbreak community and developers @isklikas and @sharedRoutine, this concept has now become a reality...

How to set up Parental Control on iTunes

iTunes, to a lesser extend, can be a similar place. Apps, books, movies, TV shows and podcasts can contain material that could be shocking to a younger audience. Thankfully, there is some simple things you can do to set up iTunes parental control. In this post we're going to show you how.
