Arcade review: Grindstone – a puzzler with a great pedigree

If you've been gaming for a while, you're probably familiar with the Capy Games studio. If not, you've probably played some of its games. The studio is responsible for a lot of indie games, including working with Superbrothers to bring Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, one of the best games you can experience on the iPhone, in my opinion.

Now, after a while, Capy is back with a new puzzle game, Grindstone. This game has big shoes to fill, unlike many other games on Apple Arcade. So this game lives up to the (my) expectations? Let's find out in today's Arcade review.

Supercharge your jailbroken iPhone’s Status Bar with Xeon

There are countless ways of customizing a jailbroken iPhone or iPad. A great place to start, especially for novices, is the Status Bar, and I say that because it’s something users will see almost everywhere throughout the mobile operating system.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Horizon, Nighthawk, and more

There have been so many interesting teasers involving the new checkm8 bootrom exploit that we seriously can’t wait to see what becomes of it, but for those who might be jailbroken on iOS 11 or iOS 12 with Chimera, Electra, or unc0ver in the meantime, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of this week’s jailbreak tweak releases for your convenience.

In this roundup, we’ll dive into things by discussing our favorite jailbreak tweak releases fist and then wrap things up with an outline the rest afterward.

Luca Todesco teases progress on checkra1n, a checkm8-based jailbreak

Just over a week ago, well-respected hacker and security researcher Luca Todesco took to Twitter to tease an all-new custom boot logo and frame buffer concept for checkra1n, a purported jailbreak utility that would be based on the recently-released checkm8 bootrom exploit from @axi0mX. Fortunately, the teasers haven’t stopped there.

Just this weekend, the official checkra1n Twitter page teased an image of what appears to be both a seventh-generation iPod touch and an iPhone SE – each running iOS 13 – with the checkra1n jailbreak app present on the Home screen.

Sileo v1.5.0 brings 30% speed boost, iOS 13 support, and more

Anyone enjoying a jailbreak by way of the Electra Team’s Chimera or Electra tools will want to fire up the jailbreak’s native Sileo package manager and refresh its sources this weekend.

The Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager on Saturday, bringing it up to version 1.5.0 with significant speed boosts, preliminary support for iOS 13, and dark mode-centric aesthetic improvements. The announcement was made early this morning via Twitter:

PhotoInfo adds image resolution and size data to the Photos app

The iPhone’s advanced photography capabilities make it incredibly easy to fill your Photo Library with images. On the other hand, iOS’ Photos app doesn’t do as great of a job of communicating file attributes as we’d like.

Given the circumstances described above, we’re particularly excited to show you a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called PhotoInfo by iOS developer shepgoba.

Retro review: Cut the Rope

Cut the Rope title screen

Just a few days ago, one of the best games on the App Store turned 9 years old. I'm talking about the famous and addictive Cut the Rope. A cute puzzle game that was first released for the iPhone back on October 4th, 2010.

These days the game has grown into a franchise, with seven games available for you to play, each filled with a bunch of levels, new mechanics and better graphics. So, with a lot of new games at hand, should you still be playing the original Cut the Rope? Let's see what our experts say (well, me, anyway) in today's retro review.
