Yesterday, Pinterest announced immediate availability of a new visual search tool in its mobile application for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Now when you see something in a Pin that you want to research, just tap the all-new search tool, select the part of the Pin you’re interested in, and it'll show you similar Pins just like it.
Apple just posted an early morning press release announcing the arrival of the iPad Pro. Apple states that the iPad Pro will be available to purchase online starting on Wednesday, November 11, and will arrive in Apple retail stores, select carrier stores, and authorized resellers later this week.

After taking a look at five Apple Watch band knockoffs last week, I want to talk to you about two additional knockoffs I recently received: the Cuff and Double Tour. Directly inspired by (read ripped off) the official Hermès bands for Apple Watch, these two bands are available at a fraction of the price. But is it a good deal?
The Force Awakens trailer releases are causing a great disturbance in the Force. If you are particularly interested in seeing additional sneak preview details, any Star Wars fan would tell you to view the Disney release Japanese trailer that contains footage not released to English speaking audiences.
With the movie just more than one month away, the Wallpapers of the Week section is hoping to help celebrate the excitement. Inside this week's installment are a few images from and inspired by The Force Awakens. Of course, we must also pay homage to the original trilogy.
Puzzle adventure games are a dime a dozen, but that doesn't mean they are all good (or all bad, for that matter). Finding the right mix of complexity and innovation, combined with proper elements of visual aesthetic, is not that easy.
Lumino City has found the right mix. Not only is it visually pleasing (read below to find out more about that), but the puzzles are also unique and complex, without being so difficult that you lose interest. We've got a full game review of Lumino City for you today.
Like every Sunday, we bring the newest jailbreak tweaks directly to you so you don't have to spend time scrolling down Cydia looking for what's new. Everything's here in one convenient list for you to peruse.

Now that sideloading is a possibility on both iOS and tvOS, it's a good time to search for open source apps that are available to sideload. We've already showed you how to get apps like Provenance, MAME, Auntie Player, and others, but what about finding sideloadable apps on your own? In this post, I'll show you how GitHub can be a valuable resource for finding open source apps for your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
Last month, an open source app called Auntie Player was released to access on demand programs from the BBC. This app can be sideloaded on an Apple TV and used to watch BBC on demand content and even live content.
I tested out Auntie Player today, and it worked as expected. Keep in mind, however, that you're supposed to be in the UK in order to properly access its content. There are ways to access BBC iPlayer outside of the UK, but we cannot endorse those methods.
Still, we understand that many of our UK-based readers would be interested in accessing BBC iPlayer on the Apple TV, so in this post we're going to show you how.
China-based Beaver Electronics Co. recently unveiled a reasonably priced portable juice pack with buttonless design that after 15 minute of fast-charging holds enough juice to fully recharge an iPhone 5s. In fact, the Quarter recharges any mobile device via USB.
Surprisingly, through its built-in MagSafe 2 port the Quarter charging its 5,000mAh internal battery via the MacBook's MagSafe wall charger takes under an hour. The company kindly provided me a review unit that I tested out over the past week, here're my impressions.
So, what do you think of your new Apple TV? I'm loving it. I know that Apple hasn't changed the way we watch TV with its new set-top box, but I can't get over how fun it is to play some of my favorite iOS games on the big screen without experiencing the lag that AirPlay usually has. I'm looking forward to being able to make app folders on my Home screen, too.
If you are looking for new content for you new Apple TV, or if you just want something you can access on your mobile screen, check out our list of apps and games below.
While it's possible to receive promo codes for Apple TV apps, it's not possible to redeem such codes directly from the Apple TV interface itself. Even though the newly released Apple TV is the first iteration of the device capable of running native apps, Apple is keeping the process of promo code redemption limited to iOS or the Mac.
Have you received a promo code for an Apple TV app or game? In this post, we'll show you how to redeem it.
