The best apps for movie lovers

Lory Gil ∙ Updated March 17, 2019

I like to think of myself as a movie lover. I worked at an independent theater in my town during my entire college years. I used to go to the movies a lot more often than I do now, but I still make time to go whenever I can. These days, it's so easy to watch blockbuster hits at home that I almost prefer the comforts of my living room more than a dark theater.

Whether you prefer to make a bowl of popcorn at home, or like to sneak a bag of candies into your favorite theater, we have a list of what we think are the best apps for movie lovers…

‘Almpoum’ adds more options for screenshot taking

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

Almpoum is a jailbreak tweak for frequent screenshot takers. As you might have guessed, this is the type of tweak that bloggers, or anyone else that documents aspects of iOS, may find handy.

With Almpoum enabled, users can be prompted whenever a screenshot is attempted. The prompt contains several options—save the shot to the Photo Library, copy it to the clipboard, do both, or outright cancel the screenshot.

We've recorded a video walkthrough to showcase the different facets of Almpoum inside. Take a look after the break for all of the details.

Sky wallpapers

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

Over the past two weeks, we included theme-based wallpaper images. First, a Breaking Bad theme really seemed to get people excited. Following the popular television wallpaper trend, a Game of Thrones group was added.

Maintaining a bit of weekly surprise, a different image track is taken with this batch. Moving into the summer creates a longer lasting day and more time to enjoy nature's attractiveness. The ever-changing sky is the cause of many artistic shots. This week, we highlight those natural tendencies...

How to sync an iPhone with multiple iTunes libraries

Joe Rossignol ∙ Updated May 12, 2017

Apple does not allow an iPhone to be synced with multiple iTunes libraries, presumably because users would simply share songs with each other and lower already declining music sales on the iTunes Store. When you sync an iPhone with another Mac or PC, a warning pops up on iTunes that an iPhone can only be synced with one library at a time.

If you proceed to sync your iPhone with the secondary computer, the contents of that iTunes library will automatically replace whatever media you had on your device in the first place. On a side note, that doesn't include things like contacts, calendars or settings. Those are safe, but any songs or videos are not. Fortunately, there is a solution for how to use an iPhone with more than one iTunes library. The method is explained in detail ahead…

New renders of alleged 4.7-inch iPhone 6 surface

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

New renderings of what is believed to be the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 surfaced on the web this weekend. We've seen similar drawings before, but this time around the renders have reportedly come straight from primary Apple supplier Foxconn.

The device in the images, which measures 138 x 67mm, lines up with previous information. The design is consistent with the schematic published by MacFan last month, which has since been echoed by multiple cases and dummy units...

Kiwanuka review: stack all the people in this unique puzzle game

Lory Gil ∙ May 10, 2014

Because I’ve been in the app review business for a few years now, I tend to have a cynical mind when I hear certain words like “endless runner” and “physics-based puzzler.” It's true that some games will surprise me and rekindle my love of those genres, but I’ve gotten to the point where I start to feel like, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.

Kiwanuka both adheres to traditional physics-based puzzler games, and breaks from the mold at the same time. Each level offers a new challenge to overcome (traditional), but the game doesn’t feel like the same old thing in a new skin. Its simplicity is actually its positive selling point. Read along for our Kiwanuka review to help you decide if it is something you’d like to try…

KeyShortcut Pro: add real keyboard shortcuts to iOS

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

KeyShortcut Pro was just released on Cydia's BigBoss repo, and it's worthy of your consideration, especially if you're a heavy typer. This is the pro version of the tweak that allows you to use real keyboard shortcuts in iOS.

KeyShortcut Pro makes it so that you can hold the 'A' button to select all, the 'C' button to copy, and the 'V' button to paste. You can also do things like cut, undo, and redo. The pro version of KeyShortcut adds a few additional options to the mix, which are not seen in the original. Check out our full video inside to see what I mean...

Circlet, a new stylish Status Bar indicators tweak we recently previewed in now available in Cydia.

Developed by Julian Weiss, this jailbreak tweak allows you to theme your Status Bar signal, Wi-Fi and battery indicator without the use of WinterBoard. Weiss notes in the description of the tweak that it is very lightweight, as "every "circlet" is generated as needed, without any assets saved," and no respring is necessary.

Noisli review: sleep well to the sounds of nature

Lory Gil ∙ Updated January 27, 2018

I’ve been getting wonderful, full nights of sleep lately thanks to this new app I’ve been testing. I’m one of those people who love being lulled to sleep by the comforting sounds of ocean waves, waterfalls, and chirping birds. I never leave home without some kind of audio aid for sleeping.

Noisli is an audio app that features realistic sounds of nature. What makes this app stand out from the rest is its iOS 7 theme. Get a good night’s sleep while being soothed with the visually comforting, colorful glow of your iPhone screen. Check out our Noisli review after the break…

For me, there is never enough time in the week to get through all the great apps and games that come out. Even some of my favorite titles get lost in a folder somewhere as I make room for the next batch of cool stuff.
