Evernote-owned Skitch is one of those apps that efficiently solve real-life problems. In Skitch's case, it's about augmenting your images with catchy annotations while managing to be really fun to use in the process.
It has a robust, easy to grasp selection of markup capabilities that let one quickly share one's annotated images across social networks and export them in a variety of common formats.
I know Sebastien is definitely making the most out of Skitch in his daily communication with the staff and I’ve been using it regularly to annotate and highlight certain items of the screenshots we use in our ongoing how-to series.
Aside from that, Skitch is indispensable if all you want is quickly create viral images, tweet out a funny picture to get your point across and so forth, you get the idea. A new version is now available in the App Store, offering faster sharing, a new paragraph text feature in the annotation tools, general fixes and stability improvements and more. Go ahead, learn all there is about the new Skitch version 3.1.1 right after the break...

I sincerely hope that you've downloaded last week's Free App of the Week, Warhammer Quest, a triple-A role playing game from Rodeo Games and Games Workshop set in the famous Warhammer world.
Apple does not always highlight premium apps and games in its ongoing promotion, but this one has definitely rightfully earned every avid gamer's attention.
So, how about another not-to-be-missed freebie?
Your prayers have been answered: enter Horn for the iPhone and iPad, Apple's latest Free App of the Week. Normally a $6.99 value, Horn is free until next Thursday, April 24.
This premium third-person action adventure game has you playing as Horn, the young blacksmith's apprentice who must fight monstrous creatures - actually your fellow villagers transformed into dark creatures by a curse.
Released in August 2012, Horn is set in a lush and beautifully rendered fantasy world. The game received some rather raving reviews due to its wonderful graphics, precise controls, Zelda-like appeal, great voice acting completed by Austin Wintory's soundtrack and an addictive combination of puzzle-solving and sword slashing action.
Best you act now and grab it free in the App Store, lest you forget about it later...
Siri within iOS 7 can be limited sometimes, thanks to Apple's "walled garden", but a new tool called GoogolPlex wants to change that by opening the voice assistant to new commands.
Self described as the "App Store for Siri", GoogolPlex opens Siri to work with Spotify, Philips Hue, the Nest Thermostat and more, just by an iOS user changing a few proxy settings...
Social networking giant Facebook is bound to stir controversy all over again as it's just introduced a new friend-tracking feature. Similar to Apple's free Find My Friends iOS app, Facebook's Nearby Friends basically notifies you when your friends are nearby.
It's a rather radical idea, one Facebook said Thursday was designed to encourage people to "meet up and spend time together" in real life. Go figure. Learn more about Facebook's Find My Friends right below the fold...
RunKeeper has released a new iOS application that counts steps taken and tracks your activity. I know there are now dozens of apps in the App Store.
That being said, RunKeeper is a huge player in fitness and Breeze is brilliantly designed, gamified and available totally free of charge, no in-app purchases required whatsoever.
The software takes advantage of Apple's M7 motion coprocessor inside the iPhone 5s to track up to seven days worth of activity, even when the app isn't running and without taking any noticeable hit on your battery life.
Breeze is a free download from the App Store. I've included nearly a dozen pretty screenshots and more information right after the break so give the app a whirl and let us know what you think in the comments...
As promised, Square Enix Montréal has brought its console-only Hitman franchise to iOS with today's release of Hitman Go. Like past Hitman titles, this game puts you in the shoes of the franchise's main hitman character, Agent 47.
But unlike previous releases, Hitman Go is turn-based and involves stealth elements coupled with puzzle solving and requires a strong focus on strategy planning.
The game features diorama-style set pieces and its turn-based approach dictates game mechanics where you navigate fixed spaces on a grid in order to avoid enemies and infiltrate well guarded locations. Your ultimate goal: taking out your target.
The iPhone and iPad game is now available for five bucks a pop. Jump past the fold for more info...
Yahoo-owned Flickr is a great photography service - I've been using it for years as my default companion photo storage solution.
It's not just the fact that everyone gets a whopping one terabyte of free cloud storage for their photos, Flickr features a bunch of advanced options and keeps your photos backed up in the cloud in their full resolution.
Flickr's iOS app has been nice, albeit a bit rudimentary in terms of features. This changes with today's release of an all-new Flickr version 3.0.
Some of the many new features iPhone photography fans will surely fall in love with include the ability to record, edit and upload high-definition video, photo auto-tagging, comb through your photos using complex search criteria, access detailed photo data, share easily and quickly to Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook and lots more...
It’s been nearly a month since Apple released iOS 7.1 and now the firm is seemingly prepping the first bug fix update, iOS 7.1.1. As you know, iOS 7.1, the first major update to Apple’s revamped mobile operating system, debuted last September.

Apple is working on a song-identification feature within its iOS software, in an effort to continue building out its Music offering to combat streaming services and declining iTunes sales, according to Bloomberg.
Apple is said to be partnering with Shazam, a third-party service on the App Store that allows users to press a button and recognize music and media playing around them. On the iPhone and iPad in a future iOS update, users will be able to identify songs and artists without having to download an app, the report says.
