Flow Colors treats you to a colorfully addictive puzzle game

Lory Gil ∙ Updated January 23, 2018

Puzzle games can be fun when done right. There are some that are too repetitive and are ultimately overshadowed by too many clones and copycats. Too much of the same thing can sour any genre.

Flow Colors is an interesting and unique puzzle game that makes you think about the path you take and whether there is something better to be done…

Aeroplanes makes Battleship an airborne fight

Lory Gil ∙ Updated December 4, 2013

Tired of the same old patrol boats, submarines, and destroyers of your grandparent’s Battleship game? Looking for a new way to guess your enemies whereabouts and then blow them to bits? Then, you are in luck.

Areoplanes is a fun new game that uses the basic structure of the nearly 50-year-old Battleship game, but instead of fighting at sea, you’ll be flying through the sky…

Revered analyst calls for iPhone 5S with gold colorway,128GB option

Cody Lee ∙ August 15, 2013

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has sent out a note to investors this evening, updating his previous predictions for Apple's next smartphone. Kuo's track record with Apple product predictions is good, so what he says carries a fair amount of weight.

In the note, Kuo says he is expecting the iPhone 5S to feature the new A7 chip, 1GB of RAM, and a sapphire-covered Home button with a built-in fingerprint sensor—pretty standard stuff. But he also expects a gold colorway and a 128GB storage option...

China’s Meizu to unleash its next-gen iPhone clone on September 2

Christian Zibreg ∙ August 15, 2013

China’s handset maker Meizu has made a name for itself by mimicking Apple aesthetics with its inexpensive yet nicely spec'd MX handsets.

With local brands such as Huawei, ZTE and Xiaomi halving Apple's market share in the important 1.33 billion people market, Meizu is hoping to steal spotlight from Apple's upcoming September 10 iPhone event by scheduling a major media event of its own on September 2.

The company is apparently gearing up to introduce the third-generation MX handset, the MX3. If a series of leaked press shots and the 'Think Big' tagline are anything to go by, the phablet will be a crossover between HTC's One V and Apple's iPhone. And as per usual, Meizu shouldn't disappoint in the hardware and design departments...

It's been a long road for 'Jobs,' the film about Apple's leader and co-founder starring Ashton Kutcher. We first found out about the movie project back in early 2012, and there's been non-stop reports, photos, trailers and interviews ever since.

Apple’s Matcha purchase believed to be over its content recommendation algorithms

Cody Lee ∙ August 15, 2013

Earlier this week, news broke that Apple had purchased a small video discovery startup called Matcha. At one time, the service helped users find interesting TV shows and Movies based on their preferences, but it mysteriously went offline back in May.

While we found out on Tuesday why it disappeared, that's about all we knew about the acquisition. But a report from TechCrunch today shines some new light on the deal, citing sources that say Apple was after Matcha's recommendation algorithms...

How to quickly move app icons with ‘EasyIconEdit’

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 14, 2018

When it comes to moving icons around on your iPhone in a quick and efficient manner, you have a few options. The first and most obvious option is to use iTunes' built in app icon management tools. This allows you to efficiently rearrange the location of your app icons, and you don't have to be jailbroken to do so.

The second, and arguably easier and more desirable method, is to use Lance Fetters' MultiIconMover. This is a tweak that allows you to quickly select batches of icons to quickly move them from one place to another. We've already covered MultiIconMover before; check it out for more information.

Recently, a new challenger has entered into the ring — a new jailbreak tweak entitled EasyIconEdit. Like MultiIconMover, it requires users to be jailbroken, and like MultiIconMover, it uses the same tap to select method for selecting groups of icons simultaneously.

The question is this: How does EasyIconEdit compare with the competition? Have a look past the break and we'll show you.

How to find how much space you’ll save when uninstalling apps

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 14, 2018

I love having a 32GB iPhone, because it means that I rarely have to worry about being cramped for space. Back in the days when I used to opt for the iPhone with less storage, I constantly found myself having to manage space.

If you still find yourself in that unfortunate predicament, first of all, I feel for you. Secondly, you should probably consider downloading Uninstall Application Size. This is a recently released jailbreak tweak that will let you know how much space you'll save when uninstalling any specific app. Have a look inside to see what I mean...
