Now that Google and Apple have both unveiled their future plans for their respective mobile platforms, it's up to the consumers, and more importantly, the third-party app developers to make their decisions. Which OS do they make their priority?
Back in the good old days, this was an easy decision to make: go with the one that had the most users. More users typically meant more downloads (and $). But now that Android and iOS are almost even, developers have to look at other metrics...
A short while ago, Apple released their official Podcasts app on the App Store. The release wasn't exactly a surprise, as it was rumored to be in the works for some time now.
The new Podcasts app is a free universal download, and serves as a much needed way to manage podcasts. Granted there are other podcast apps available on the App Store, but this is the first time that we've seen something from Apple directly.
Why it took Apple so long to create a podcast management app is anyone's guess. Whatever their reasoning, the bottom line is that it's finally here. Check inside for a full hands on video walkthrough of Apple's new Podcasts app.
Sick and tired of glorified weather apps that overload you with a bunch of stats or distract with broadcast-quality animations costing hundreds of megabytes of storage space, developer David Elgena set out to create the simplest weather app you could think of. With one twist...
Watching sports — even for the most diehard enthusiast — is always more fun with fellow fans around. You can talk coaching decisions, argue over penalties, and relive highlight plays. But what do you do if no one's around?
Take to Twitter is the obvious answer. But it's tough to keep a conversation going with other sports fans in between non-sports tweets, in 140 character increments. So the folks at Yapp Media came up with SportsYapper...

Today, the first official update has landed on the App Store, bringing with it a few noteworthy enhancements missing from the original release...

Instagram version 2.5 brings out half a dozen new features, including a revamped profiles tab, a brand new Explore section and the ability to share your likes to Facebook, to name a few.

Sharing files is nothing new. In fact, it has been around since the birth of the internet and has even managed to change the course of an entire industry in the case of the music business. Sharing files across multiple devices and people is an important part of our lives, and the iPad is now part of that.
While Dropbox is undoubtedly extremely useful for most of us, Mighty Mack decided that keeping sharing important files and documents amongst professionals needed to offer something a little different, and that's when Agora Briefcase was born.
Made specifically with professional use cases in mind, Agora Briefcase helps people who just don't quite fit into the Dropbox way of doing things...
Facebook's iOS team has been extremely busy over the past couple of months. They've created two standalone applications, App Center and then there's that whole iOS 6 integration thing.
This weekend, the team launched a new feature for the social network's mobile app called Find Friends Nearby. The addition allows you to automatically add nearby people, as friends...
There appears to be a new trend developing in the App Store: create a crappy application, name it after a popular jailbreak app, and hope folks mistakenly buy it for $0.99.
Last week we saw a fake Cydia app make its way into Apple's digital download hub. And now we've come across a similar Activator impostor...
You'd be hard-pressed to find someone over the age of 15 that hasn't at least heard of Reading Rainbow. The PBS series nabbed over 200 awards in its epic 23 year-long television run.
