Edovia has announced the next major version of its popular remote iOS app, TouchPad. We've told you about TouchPad before, and this newest update brings many more features to what was already one of the best remote keyboard and trackpad apps in the App Store.
TouchPad lets you control your Mac from your iPhone and iPad. This 4.0 update brings with it the ability to use Siri on the iPhone 4S to interact with and send text to your Mac over a Wi-Fi network.
Well, that didn't take long. Apple has pulled the iTether app from the App Store.
We told you about the $15 app last night that let anyone have unlimited tethering from their iPhone's 3G connection to a desktop computer. The app bypassed carrier data plans and let anyone with a simple connection tether for free.
Have you ever uninstalled a tweak from Cydia, but still found yourself interested in any updates it might receive in the future? Perhaps it's a tweak that has potential, but it's just not finished baking yet.
By default, Cydia does not announce changes for a package that isn't installed on your device. That's a good thing, because it prevents you from being harassed by tweaks and apps that you have no interest in.
If you've found yourself in that scenario, the best thing you can do is to enable a little talked about option that announces updates to a package, regardless of whether or not you have it installed...
It may have only been made available yesterday, but the first subscription-based iOS game service has already been pulled from the App Store with no explanation.
Big Fish Games had its app approved by Apple which, according to initial reports, offered subscription-based gaming for $6.99 per month. The app allowed the streaming of games from Big Fish Games' servers right to an iPad, with Apple taking their usual 30% cut of the revenues.
While Big Fish Games' seemed rather happy with themselves for being the first to offer games with a monthly subscription on iOS, it turns out that Apple isn't so keen, with the app now gone from the App Store...
Google has had a rough time with its iOS software over the past few weeks. The search company released a disappointing Gmail app for the iPhone earlier this month, but immediately pulled it due to problems with push notifications and other glitches.
The app was resurrected in the App Store recently, but many of its problems were not resolved. Today, however, Google has redeemed itself a bit with an update to its search interface, as it brings several welcome changes to the iPad version...
For those that really take todo systems seriously, the OmniFocus app is often at the top of the list for getting things done. With a suite of apps that covers the Mac, iPad and iPhone, OmniFocus creators The Omni Group have created a real powerhouse of applications that many swear by.
In the latest update for the iPhone version of their OmniFocus app, the developers at The OmniGroup have taken Apple's lack of a Siri API and gone all Chuck Norris on it. Instead of waiting for Apple to give them permission to use Siri to create tasks, they have linked OmniFocus with iCloud, which in turn gives the app full access to reminders created using iOS 5's built-in Reminders app.
The end result? You can now tell Siri to create reminders in OmniFocus...
AOL's AIM messaging system is one of the most popular out there, but it hasn't really felt the AOL love of late. With clunky apps across all platforms and something of an identity crisis, AIM has become the established protocol that third-party apps have made a living out of supporting.
Now, AOL is seeking to give AIM some fresh paint, and has released details on its new apps, as well as making some of them available right now. One of those apps is now available for the iPhone via the App Store in both free, ad-supported and paid versions...
Popular online reading service Readability has announced several big changes, including the long-awaited release of a native iOS app in the App Store. Not only that, but Readability will now be free for everyone, with users able to subscribe for a small fee to gain access to the "premium" experience.
Like Instapaper and Read It Later, Readability makes it easy to save and read articles online across a variety of devices. While many of the platforms' features overlap, Readability offers several things that services like Instapaper do not.
Google has put its Gmail app back on the App Store. After an embarrassing fiasco in which the app was made available and then pulled after only a couple of hours, Gmail for iOS has been resubmitted to the App Store for everyone to download.
Does the app still suck? You be the judge...
Netflix has just announced its new iPad app design, and it looks awesome. The layout looks much cleaner and optimized for the iPad's display, and the ugly whitespace from the former design has been replaced with an elegant, dark interface.
This redesign comes alongside a revamp of Netflix's Android app, and the design is expected to hit the iPad in "the coming weeks."
A few days ago a $9.99 jailbreak app surfaced in the App Store. The app was clearly a fake, and we quickly told you that the app had nothing to do with jailbreaking anything — it was a crappy, 2D scrolling game.
Apple has now pulled the app from the App Store, so people will be unable to get duped by the app's false description. The real question is this: How did Apple let an app called "Jailbreak" in the App Store in the first place?
