Apple has released a new app that displays popular iAd campaigns. iAd Gallery showcases the best iAds in all of their interactive goodness.
Most people try to avoid advertisements as much as possible, but Apple feels as though we need a stand-alone app for only viewing ads. Yep. And it's not even April Fool's.
Apple's App Store approval process has been known to be a very long and hard process for iOS app developers. Although Apple had loosened app approval process back in September of 2010, it seems that certain apps are still taking a good amount of time in limbo before receiving the green light.
One such application happens to be the TrapCall app by Tel Tech Systems Inc. The app went officially live today after 201 days (almost 7 months) in review by Apple.
TrapCall puts an end to those annoying blocked and private calls, claiming to be the first and only service to unmask blocked calls.
The official Facebook app has been updated with several new features. These features and bug fixes include two location-based enhancements.
Besides location-related features, the app's latest update finally allows you to unfriend someone in-app. More details below!
Viber is the product of a small Israeli startup, Viber Media Inc. They launched the first version of their VoIP app back in December of last year to rave reviews.
Much like Skype, Viber makes free phone calls over Wi-Fi and 3G to other users with the Viber client. Unlike Skype, there's no need to create an account.
The typical process for making calls with 3rd party applications can be tedious. Signing up for accounts, verifying email address, and setting up contact lists are usually involved when using Skype or similar services. Viber made some waves with their no-username policy, and is set to do so again with the app's latest update...
Remember when the official Twitter app added the Dick.. er.. Quick Bar in a recent update? The Quick Bar was Twitter's attempt at "sharing information" with users. It was also a clever revenue option for displaying promoted tweets.
Twitter has finally killed the Quick Bar. After a brief and painful run, the Quick Bar has been removed from the official Twitter app in a new update.
Doodle Jump has been one of the most popular iOS games ever since its launch, and it has received several updates throughout the year. The latest update brings one of the most highly awaited features: online multiplayer.
Similar to other multiplayer games available in the App Store, you can play against another friend via Game Center or randomly be matched up against another player...
There are plenty of reasons for develepors to hate the iTunes review system. The problem mainly lies in the way that uninformed or biased reviews can negatively affect the success of a good app.
If you search for some of your favorite apps in iTunes and look at the reviews, chances are you'll see a lot of 1-star "sucks" or 5-star "this is awesome" comments. If you're lucky, you might stumble across a review that's half as good as a recent 5-star rating for Color...
We've picked three apps from the App Store that caught our eye over the previous week. This week, we've got two creative photography/social apps and one game.
Enjoy this week's picks!
Google Voice is a VoIP alternative for calling and texting with a wireless number. Instead of using a phone number provided by your carrier, Google Voice gives you a number that ties into its web service for calling, voicemail, and SMS.
There are now multiple Google Voice apps on the App Store, and one app in-particular has received a significant revamp. GV Mobile+ was the first Google Voice app in the App Store, but when Google released their official Google Voice app, GV Mobile+ took a back seat to the features that the official app offered.
GV Mobile+ is now updated and better than ever. Let's take a look...
Apple continues their "If You Don't Have an iPhone" marketing campaign with the latest ad focusing on Apple's iOS online multiplayer social gaming network, Game Center.
The 30 second commercial opens up by showcasing the huge library of games available in the App Store, such as Infinity Blade, and then shows the capabilities of Game Center, including friends requests, starting a multiplayer game through matchmaking, tracking achievements, and comparing high scores on a leader board.
Do you like to listen to podcasts? Do you subscribe to multiple podcasts in iTunes? If so, you realize how much of a pain it can be to manually transfer your podcasts from iTunes to your iPhone. Perhaps you don't even sync podcasts to your iPhone to conserve disk space.
Podcasts can take a considerable amount of memory on a device with limited storage, not to mention the time and hardrive space it takes to download each episode in iTunes. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a robust streaming solution for podcasts?
Instacast can best be described as Netflix for podcasts. As a cloud-based podcast streaming solution, Instacast is a fantastic stand-alone app for any podcast enthusiast...
