Figure Out Who’s Calling You With Number Guru

Cody Lee ∙ May 31, 2011

In this day in age, it's hard to trust anyone anymore. With so many apps like CallerID Faker out there, you can't really tell who's who. Luckily, if you are constantly on the receiving end of prank phone calls or telemarketing pitches, there's an app for that.

While there are several applications that offer similar features, Number Guru seems to be the most adept. The iPhone software allows you to do a reverse lookup of a phone number, allowing you to find out where the number is based out of and other details that don't show up on CallerID...

Rumor: iPhone 4S This Summer With A5 Chip, 8MP Camera, GSM/CDMA Support, Integrated SIM

Alex Heath ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

With WWDC right around the corner, the last, pre-summer iPhone rumors are coming in fast and strong. The latest one seems a little far fetched, but it does make some interesting claims about hardware announcements we'll see from Apple this year.

The iPhone 4S will supposedly be a minor upgrade from the iPhone 4 (like the 3G/3GS), while the iPhone 5 will be a complete revamp. Sound crazy to you?

UnFolder – Delete Entire Folders with a Single Tap

Cody Lee ∙ Updated January 2, 2018

Getting rid of a folder can be quite time consuming, depending on how many applications it contains. If there are just 2 or 3 apps then it isn't that bad, but 5 or more can get pretty tedious.

That's because to delete a folder, you must first drag every application from the folder back to the home screen. After the last app is removed, the folder deletes itself. A new utility is coming to Cydia though, that could change all of that...
