Sometimes, a quick Google search just won’t cut it when you’re trying to figure out how to do something (i.e. when interpreting your Ikea assembly instructions feels like you’re in the next installment of The Da Vinci Code). For those times when you need a little extra instruction, or those DIY project weekends you geek out over, there’s no better platform to go to than TikTok.
Learning a new language can be hard work, especially when you do it the traditional way. Classes either move too slow or too fast, and you rarely get the individual attention and feedback that language acquisition requires. The old way of practicing involves rote memorization and tedious hours spent with a textbook. There's a reason why so many people took two years of French in college but can't even ask where the bathroom is.
Radio is a good idea in theory, but in practice there are only a few stations you can access and they all seem to play the same songs over and over. The exciting idea about radio is you could hear anything, but in reality you know exactly what to expect. At least, that's how it is for your regular radio.
Welcome to another edition of our Apps of the Week roundup. This week we have a powerful music tool, a surefire call blocker and a new kind of notes/list app. And as always, we've selected two great new games for you to check out.
Executive Review Board, headed by Phil Schiller, Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, is the name of the department at the Cupertino firm that greenlights problematic or otherwise controversial iPhone apps submitted to App Store.
If you have a hearing impairment and need a little extra help, there are plenty of iPhone apps that can come to the rescue. You might need sounds to be louder or just a different way to communicate.
We’re here to help with a few of the best iPhone apps for the hearing impaired.
Developer Serif's Adobe InDesign competitor is now available on Mac App Store.
In the age of the smartphone, everyone likes to think of themselves as a professional photographer. But even the best Instagram filters are no match for truly pro-level editing techniques, which can transform a good pic into a truly great one.
At the WWDC 2016 event, Apple announced that iOS 10 would permit users to remove stock apps from their devices. Three years later, that same feature has now come to Apple Watch courtesy of the watchOS 6 update.
The beautiful Cardhop app is the best way to fix and manage contacts on your iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. Today, developer Flexibits announced free updates for iOS and macOS editions of the software that bring even more goodies to the only contacts app you'll ever need.
One of the tweaks in the second developer beta of iOS 13 that dropped yesterday is a prompt for when an app you're trying to delete from an iPhone or iPad has an active subscription.
As first noted by MacStories' editor-in-chief Federico Viticci yesterday afternoon, iOS 13 beta 2 now informs you if an app you're deleting has a subscription still active.
"Do you want to keep your subscription for this app?," asks the prompt. "Your subscription to this app can still be used on other devices," reads the alert text. The warning message includes precise information about when said subscription is set to renew automatically.
It also offers a Manage Subscriptions button to jump to the corresponding sub-section within the Settings app, and Keep, which keeps the subscription for the app being deleted.
While this may seem like an unnecessary feature addition in iOS 13, consider for a moment a bunch of cases of unwanted billing that were in the news not that long time ago because people didn't read prompts. On top of that, how many people use a subscription-tracking app like Bobby for iPhone to keep track of all the active subscriptions they have?
I know what I'm subscribed to and when my next billing cycles are due, but not everyone does. Keeping those people (who I suspect are in the majority) informed about the active recurring subscription for the app they're trying to delete could save them from bill shock.
For the rest of us, it's going to be an additional tap before that app gets wiped out.
What do you think of this feature?
