After a trio of massive sales on the App Store last week, things have quieted down quite a bit on the storefront. We've still gone ahead and hand-picked the best new, updated and discounted apps for iPhone and iPad in this edition of App Recap. There are 7 apps to check out, including updates to four popular apps and discounts on two award-winning games. Take a look at the complete list ahead…
Apple's in-car entertainment solution, CarPlay, features limited support for third-party applications, ranging from Stitcher and Apple's own Podcasts to Beats Music, iHeartRadio and Spotify. Previously demoed at WWDC earlier this month, you can now put MLB At Bat on the list of officially supported CarPlay apps, according to Apple's own CarPlay webpage...
If I had a nickel every time a developer pitched their iOS game with the overused "console style graphics" phrase, I would be filthy rich by now.
Yet in the case of Hellraid: The Escape, an upcoming action role-playing game (RPG) from Techland and Shortbreak Studios, the catch phrase rings true.
Indeed, the forthcoming iPhone and iPad title does seem to "push the boundaries of quality gaming on mobile devices even further."
Originally slated for release in June, the game has been pushed back to July as developers needed more time to work out the kinks and polish up the game's visuals.
If an announcement trailer included after the break is anything to go by, it should be well worth the wait...
Dropbox-owned Mailbox has introduced Auto-swipe two and a half months ago with much fanfare. The feature has been designed to learn from your usage patterns, so that the app could help you save time by automating email management to a certain degree.
You Auto-swipe settings are kept in sync across devices thanks to Dropbox integration and now the team is building on top of that with additional improvements.
Now bumped to version 2.0.3, Mailbox includes several enhancements to the Auto-swipe feature, including a quicker way of creating Auto-swipe patterns, Auto-swipe suggestions in email view and more...
Last Wednesday, the micro-blogging platform Twitter started rolling out native support for animated GIFs to its mobile apps for iOS and Android, as well as to its web interface available on Twitter.com.
Initiaily, the free iPhone and iPad app didn't gain the feature at the time of the announcement as the firm needed more time to implement animated GIFs on backend side.
This morning, Twitter version 6.8 has surfaced in the App Store featuring - you guessed right - the ability to upload animated GIFs from your iPhone and iPad and view them rendered inline, right inside your timelines...
Following up on last week's release of its would-be Snapchat killer, Slingshot, and building on notable updates to Paper, Messenger and its main iOS client, the social networking behemoth Facebook today gave its neglected Pages Manager some love.
Now live in the App Store, the new Facebook Pages Manager 4.0 has a streamlined new look and a brand new app icon which feels at home in iOS 7.0 while offering several improvements such as the addition of post editing, better Page's activity and insights, replies with threaded comments and more...
If you've updated to Microsoft's five times faster Skype 5.0 for iPhone featuring a Windows Phone style interface revamp, you can no longer use the software's free voice message feature.
And rubbing salt into the wound further, a Skype community manager advised folks who need the feature to use another mobile platform.
Not only is this a huge blunder, the removal of voice messaging is inconveniencing customers with a dedicated Skype Out number...
Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution 2, a mobile-exclusive sequel to the original Civilization game, is coming early next month to iOS devices, publishing label 2K Games and developer Fireaxis announced Monday.
The game has been designed from the ground up for mobile devices, unlike the current Civilization Revolution which is basically an iOS (and console) port of the 2008 PC original.
Revolution 2 is slated to launch on July 2 and we'll make sure to tell you all about it as soon as it hits the App Store...
Yo, that stupendously simple viral messaging app which lets people exchange ultra-short two-character "Yo" messages, now has over a million users.
The free of charge app, born out of an April Fool's Day joke and released just four days ago as a single-tap zero character communication tool for the iPhone, immediately got featured on the App Store's Top Free charts and is currently sitting at the ninth place...
The online retail giant Amazon has issued a pretty substantial update to its free video-streaming iOS app, Instant Video. Now bumped to version 2.7, the app offers the ability to stream the first episodes of selected TV shows for free, as part of the Amazon First Episode Free feature, with advertising breaks before and during video playback.
Additionally, you'll notice all-new playback controls, the addition of HBO shows such as The Sopranos, The Wire and Deadwood and more...

We’ve got a list of what we think are the best apps for diabetics. Check them out to see if one of them is right for you.
Do you remember the game Snake? Some might even argue that it was the earliest mobile game, at least on a phone and not as a separate device. Players would control a stack of pixels that would grow every time the snake would reach the tiny dot. If you touched the edge, you’d die. If you got too long and ran into yourself, you’d die.
Grub takes the basic concept of snake and reimagines it for today’s mobile needs. It is much more colorful and animated than the 1997 version. Plus there is more to the game than trying to catch one tiny dot…
