Earlier this week, Apple launched the fifth beta for iOS 7. Time ticks by and we get closer and closer to the public launch of iOS’ biggest design change in six years.
To get you ready for the new look, we’ve got a list of apps that will nicely compliment Apple’s new mobile operating system…
Days are getting shorter. The hot summer has been anything but hot this month, at least in my neck of the woods. It makes it hard for me to want to stay inside and play with my iPad. It does not however stop me from bringing games with me on my iPhone for a quick game while waiting for friends at my local bar.
If you are feeling creative, want to keep track of the weather, or need a game to pass the time, we’ve got a list of apps to keep you happy this weekend...
Twitter's #music app launched in April as a way to discover music people share on Twitter. The micro-blogging giant updated the software in June with new discovery charts and the addition of genres. Since then, we haven't heard much from Twitter on the music front until today's version 1.3 update which expands on content discovery with new tools while adding the ability to scan your music library to provide personalized recommendations...
Sometimes, you want to play a game that takes up hours of your day. Sometimes, you feel the need for speed and want a game that will make your palms sweat. Some days, you just want to sit back, relax and let your game be a sort of meditation.
Chain Reaction is a very simple game that doesn’t require a whole lot of skill. The only thing you need is patience and a bit of luck…
Blizzard, the maker of the award-winning Starcraft and Diablo series, has released a new iPhone and iPad app, called Blizzard WCS. As the name suggests, it's basically a client designed to allow for live streaming of the StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS). If you can't make it to the WCS, the app will "keep you updated, informed, and entertained all the way through the Global Finals of the World Championship Series and beyond," Blizzard promises...
In the early 1980s, the Ultima series began. Fans of sorcery and adventure were transported to another land to fight dragons, loot dungeons, and become the hero of a world under attack from an evil wizard.
Nearly a dozen follow-up games were released in the Ultima series, but fans haven’t seen or heard a squeak for over a decade. Today, fans of the original Ultima Forever campaign can play a modernized version that follows the early storyline, but offers a completely new look…
When I was really young, I didn't have a gaming console. I didn't own a NES until I was nearly a preteen. That didn’t stop me from falling in love with Super Mario Bros. and other side-scrolling platformers at a young age.
Kid Tripp captures your youth by recreating the pixelated imagery that defined a generation, while offering a measure of fast-paced challenge that is not typical of games in the genre…
World domination empire building games normally have a list of rules that take longer to read than playing the game does. It is hard to find one that is simple, fun, and comes with a basic set of rules that most people could follow.
Empires II is a world domination game where your only goal is to capture all of the land. At the end of the game, you will either eliminate your enemies and control all territories, or be eliminated yourself…
Folks unhappy with Apple's stock alarm clock feature may want to check out the beautiful Rise Alarm Clock app by Kellen Styler. Not only is it one of the best-looking third-party alarm clock apps out there, but it's also free for a limited time.
Apple has named Rise its App of the Week, something it does every week for paid apps it believes deserve to be featured in front of millions of eyeballs. And after downloading the app for myself, it's not surprising that they picked this one...
Good news, Roku set-top box users! A significant update to Roku's iOS app has just been issued, enabling an AirPlay-like functionality that works with photos, music and iOS video content. In a nutshell, a new Play on Roku feature works similar to AirPlay, a media streaming technology from Apple. The freshly updated app can now stream content stored on an iPhone, iPad or iPod directly to a bunch of Roku's set-top box products. Jump past the fold for more information...
I like Google's Play Books app even though it's severely crippled due to Apple's policy of prohibiting links to external stores, which doesn't make it very useful if you want to browse and download some new reading material to your device (to shop books, visit Google Play in your browser).
Other than that, it's a solid reading app and perhaps a nice gateway drug to Google's other content stores.
It's been a while since Google last updated Play Books so today saw an interesting update which has brought out three useful features. I've included the description and a few nice screenshots right after the break...
We've all been there, right? You get home from a long day of work or school, walk up to your front door, reach in your pockets and—you can't find your keys. After some quick backtracking, you realize that they're inside, on the kitchen counter, and you're locked out. What do you do?
Well unless you have a spare hidden in a fake rock or under the doormat, the first step is calling anyone who has or might have a house key. But if that doesn't work, and breaking a window isn't an option, the next step is a $200 call to your local locksmith. That is, unless you have KeyMe...
