One of this week’s App Store Editor’s Choice is a video app that lets you record, enhance, and share your life with friends and family with the help of real-time video capturing set to your own personal soundtrack.
Spark Camera lets you record snippets of a moment in time, then record another moment at a later time, and stitches them together so that you can create your own mini montage video to share with friends and family…
Let’s face it. Instagram is only fun if other people are following you. However, when most of us first sign up for Instagram, hardly anyone is following us. In this article you’re going to learn some simple and ethical techniques to build a following on Instagram.
There's a lot of demand for Instagram followers, and different scams and spammy techniques have been created as a consequence. Needless to say, these techniques don't work (and Instagram will likely delete your account if you use them), so this article only focuses on legitimate ways to get more Instagram followers...
Last week, I called into question the continual wallpaper free fall that is currently popular on the internet. Image after image of swirling and blurry walls of color can be seen populating many iOS devices. Whether rainbow or simply one color with a gradient fade into another, the current wallpaper community is locked into a downward spiral of homogenous boredom.
That is not to say I do not like the long list of available blurry wallpapers with pretty pastel colors. In fact, I selected, almost singularly, all blurry wallpapers for the past couple months and they can be found throughout the Wallpapers of the Week section. It is simply time to move on, at least for a few weeks. With the iPhone 5s and 5c launch behind us and the ensuing iPad event coming on October 22, let's all take one step forward...
Once iOS 7 was announced, developers were on the ball, designing new apps and games with a flatter, brighter design. Quite a few puzzle games have seen huge success as iOS users flocked to the attractive looking design.
BorderLeap’s newest app, har.mo.ny is an iOS 7 inspired puzzle game that is both challenging and pleasant to play. You won’t be flinging birds at pigs with a peppy soundtrack in this game. You’ll be calmly flipping blocks to the zen-like calm of ambient music…
Thanks to a much-needed vacation, my work week only lasted three days. It seems like only yesterday I was creating the Apps of the Week list for the previous weekend. I didn’t even look at the App Store for five whole days - pretty rare for me.
If you have a lot of catching up to do with new apps and games this weekend, we’ve got a list that will take care of your finances, productivity, and gaming needs…
Just a heads up for those that missed the news yesterday: Facebook is going to be removing the 'Who can look up your Timeline by name' privacy option that allowed you to make it so your profile could not be found via search.
The social network actually removed the option for those who weren't using it last December. But for the small percentage still using it, it has announced that they will receive reminders about its removal in the coming weeks...
Good news on the iOS gaming front this weekend. Unity, the game engine behind a number of high-profile titles like Call of Duty: Strike Team, The Room and Bad Piggies, was updated to version 4.2.2 yesterday with a number of improvements.
But there's one particular item in the change log that caught our eye: iOS 7 game controller support. This means that, depending on the speed of each developer, it may not be long before you're joystickin' your way through your favorite iOS game...
During its big iPhone event back in September, Apple announced that anyone who purchased a new iOS device after September 1 would be able to download iPhoto, iMovie, and the iWork suite of apps—Keynote, Pages, Numbers—for free.
Making good on its promise, Apple began sending out emails with iTunes credits earlier today to those who purchased both new iOS devices and one or more of the above-mentioned iOS apps prior to the announcement on September 10...
Last week, Apple cleared another hurdle in its effort to land its 'Spaceship' campus in Cupertino by 2016, garnering a thumbs up from the city's planning commission. Now it just has to win the approval of city council, and it's home free.
And the company is pulling out all of the stops ahead of next week's city council vote. It's begun sending out brochures asking residents of Cupertino for their support, and earlier today, executives introduced a 3D model of the campus...
AT&T announced this afternoon that it will be 'streamlining' the plans that it offers to its new customers later this month. That's essentially corporate jargon for 'getting rid of,' and in this case it refers to per-device data plans.
Starting October 25, the carrier will no longer offer traditional monthly voice and data plans to new customers. Instead they will have to choose from one of the newer mobile share plans, which come with various levels of data...
Shortly after the new iPhone 5s/5c went on sale in the United States and an additional ten major international markets on September 20, Apple's online store in the United States started showing signs of severely constrained supply of the flagship iPhone 5s model.
The device immediately appeared sold out as shipping estimates dropped from 1-3 days for the first few hours of availability, further slipping to 7–10 days and again to an ambiguous 'October' estimate. And now, the iPhone 5s shipping dates have been revised again, now listed as 2-3 weeks..
Late last month, Facebook-owned Instagram finally received its somewhat dull iOS 7-inspired update. I say dull because the redesign feels a tad rushed out and a bit rough around the edges. More importantly, not many people have noticed that yesterday's minor maintenance update has killed off the tremendously useful video auto-play toggle.
Although iTunes release notes for Instagram 4.2.2 innocently list only "bug fixes and performance improvements," in reality the new build has stealthily removed the useful Instagram > Settings > Auto-Play Videos switch.
This may not seem like a big deal, but consider for a moment the fact that the vast majority of iPhoneography fans turn to Instagram to enjoy beautiful photos.
Conversely, not many people give a heck about video on Instagram. Instagram disappointedly has never provided an option to block all video content from a user's feed so you don't need me to tell you that enforcing auto-play on videos isn't really helping anyone but Instagram itself...
