Folks who frequent the Reddit community are probably fairly familiar with Alien Blue. It's considered to be one of the best third-party iOS clients for the popular site.
Well the best gets better today, with the release of Alien Blue 2.6. The update brings new features like a native GIF player, iCloud syncing, and much more...
Tumblr released a significant update to its iOS app last night, bringing the software to version 3.0. It feels faster, looks better, and includes a handful of new features.
The first thing Tumblr users will notice is that the app's been completely redesigned. A new UI and revamped notifications tab make for much smoother navigation...
Folks who couldn't make it out to WWDC last week will be happy to hear that Apple has just posted videos of all of its developer sessions online. The clips are available for viewing on both the developer website, and in iTunes.
The collection of nearly 200 videos covers a wide array of topics — for both Mac OS X and iOS developers — ranging from "how to integrate Facebook into your app," to creating passes for the new Passbook application...
After failing to acquire Groupon last year, Google decided to launch its own deal-of-the-day website called Google Offers. The site pitches location-based deals on goods and services.
Today, Google has announced that it is taking the service mobile. A Google Offers app is now available for the iPhone, allowing users to discover, buy and redeem deals while on the go...
If you need one more reason to buy Sparrow for your iPhone, here's one: For the next 48 hours, the popular third-party email client has been slashed to just 99 cents. That's a two-buck saving over its original asking price of three dollars...
The iOS 6 portion of Apple's WWDC keynote last week was headlined by its all new mapping software. As predicted, the company unveiled a completely rebuilt Maps application with 3D city views and other features.
The app is available in the recently-released iOS 6 beta, and so far, it has yet to impress. On top of missing popular features like Street View and transit directions, it also appears to be missing a ton of street data.
But don't count Apple's Maps out just yet...
Sparrow for iPhone debuted earlier this year as one of the first third-party email clients to ever land in the App Store. While it's received a lot of praise for its UI, it continues to be criticized for its lack of features.
The jailbreak community has managed to help out with that a bit. But thanks to today's update, stock iPhone users can too cross a major feature off their wish lists. Sparrow 1.3 now supports POP email accounts...
AppCent is a new jailbreak tweak that adds a percentage value beneath the app currently being installed on your iOS device. It's a very simple tweak, and for smaller sized apps you probably won't derive much value, but it's nice to have for larger apps that take a long time to download.
Although a progress bar indicating your download percentage already exists in iOS, there's something to be said for having actual numerical values that you can see and identify with...
You'll wanna act on this one right now. Display Recorder, an app by Bugun Software which lets you record your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad screen in real time, has just hit the App Store, priced at two bucks a pop (not to be confused with Ryan Petrich's app of the same name available for jailbroken devices). If I were you, I'd act now: Apple's likely to pull Display Recorder at a moment's notice...
Mozilla, a non-profit organization behind the Firefox browser, is prototyping a brand new web browser for Apple's iPad.
It's called Junior and aims to replace a "miserable Safari experience" with "something entirely new", an app which looks to "reinvent the browser for a new form factor"...
Digital home control may be the way of the future, but much of the current technology is still out of reach for the average consumer. It's expensive, complicated, and not very user-friendly. But there are companies looking to change that.
Take the Elphi, for example. This new "smart plug" is looking to change the way we look at home automation. Simply plug the Elphi into an AC outlet, plug in any AC-powered device to the Elphi, and open the accompanying iPhone app...
With more than 50 million users, Dropbox is in a league of its own when it comes to third party cloud services. Its drag-and-drop storage platform allows users to keep their content synced across all of their devices.
Well the service just got a little bit better for iOS users. Dropbox 1.5 popped up in the App Store last night, bringing with it new features like automatic photo and video uploads, and an all-new content gallery view...
