AppSwitch, the Ultimate System Utility for Your iPhone

Alex Heath ∙ Updated April 2, 2018

Apple doesn't like for users to be able to see what's "under the hood." OS X and iOS are very design and aesthetically driven. Apparently, Apple feels that "viewing processes" is an archaic feature. There is no real way in iOS to get a bird's eye view of everything that's running on your phone.

There are, however, some of us out there who would like to know things like which processes are running and the current distribution of system memory. Luckily, App Switch, by XCool Apps, is here to remedy our need for total control...

Capcom Arcade Games on the iPhone Go Freemium

Alex Heath ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

The video game titan Capcom recently released an official iPhone app called "Capcom Arcade." The arcade-styled app lets you play the original versions of some of Capcom's classic games. Street Fighter, Ghouls 'N Ghosts, 1942, and Commando are all available to be played in their entirety on iOS.

"Wow. That's a lot of awesome gameplay in one app. I bet that's expensive." That's what I thought too when I first heard that Capcom was releasing an app with bundled games. The interesting thing is that Capcom Arcade is not an expensive app at all, in fact, it's free...

No matter how much you love your iPhone, there's one thing you have to agree on: the auto correct sucks! Until Apple makes this better, there isn't much we can do but laugh about it all.

That's what DamnYouAutoCorrect.com does. The website compiles all those hilarious auto correct suggestions for your browsing pleasure.

What the duck! I should have thought of that earlier ;)

Sticky Buttons Make Your iPhone Touchscreen a Better Control Pad

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated November 26, 2016

No doubt the iPhone is a great gaming device, however, one big problem I have with it is when playing games that require heavy use of the touchscreen. Like Street Fighter IV for example.

Because you can't feel the buttons, you sometimes miss the button you want to hit, causing you to lose for the 5th time in a row against M. Bison. No more of that, thanks to those stick-on buttons that will turn your iPhone into a better game pad...

FaceTime Coming to iPhone 3GS

Sébastien Page ∙ November 7, 2010

The same guys who recently brought us the FaceTime Haktivator app for jailbroken iPhones are back at it, this time with an app called FaceIt-3GS, which lets you have FaceTime on a jailbroken iPhone 3GS.

FaceIt-3GS is still in development as the developers are working the bugs out was just released in Cydia and the video below shows it working well. As you can see, it's not possible yet to use the camera of the iPhone 3GS but I assume it's just a matter of time until they figure out how to plug it in...

Tumblr iPhone App Updated, Brings Sleek New Dashboard

Alex Heath ∙ November 7, 2010

Tumblr has started making a name for itself as a viable blogging platform. For the longest time, Tumblr was considered the more lightweight and amateur version of established platforms like Wordpress. With over 30,000,000 monthly visitors, the micro-blogging platform has become a force to be reckoned with.

The folks at Tumblr have been making numerous changes to the platform, and now the service offers almost every blogging feature that you could think of. Tumblr takes a non-intrusive, social approach to blogging. The official Tumblr iPhone app was recently updated to support some of the new features of the website...

Warning: Glitch in Your iPhone Alarm Clock Will Cause You to Wake Up Late

Sébastien Page ∙ November 6, 2010

Last week we reported about a bug found in iOS 4.1 that was first revealed by fellow Australian and European iPhone users. The glitch, which happens during Daylight Saving Time (tonight for us in the US), causes your alarm clock to go off an hour late. That's because your iPhone alarm clock doesn't recognize the time change.

Apple is well aware of it, and to be honest with you, I expected them to release iOS 4.2 in time to fix this bug, but this apparently wasn't a priority for them. They did however provide a few steps to make sure your iPhone will wake you up on time if you have an alarm clock set...

Your Phone Can Say a Lot About You

Sébastien Page ∙ November 6, 2010

I think this cartoon is pretty spot on. You know how we, iPhone users, look down on Blackberry and Android users. Android is for geeks and Blackberry is for businessmen.

Oh yeah, we've got all the reasons in the world to think that, but it's pretty funny to see how they, Android and Blackberry people, look at us...

Over 50% of Developers Prefer iOS, but Android is Closing Fast

Alex Heath ∙ November 6, 2010

A recent study has shown that over 50% of mobile developers prefer the iOS platform. Millennial Media surveyed over 500 mobile developers and advertisers and asked them what their current and future plans were in terms of mobile application development. The survey complied a pie chart of the responses, and iOS is still on top.

Factoring iPhone and iPad, iOS made up 51% of the current development support. Android is currently being supported by less than half of the respondents. However, when asked about their development plans in 2011, mobile developers favored the Google Android platform...
