If you’re into serious business productivity, then the folks at Marketcircle will become your new best friends. As of this week, there is a new version of Daylite that will enable even higher productivity. We’ve written about Daylite before, so this article will discuss what is new, not a complete re-hash of the application.
With version [...]
Really? Come on, really? It was almost like waking up on Christmas morning and hurrying down the stairs, only to find that there are no presents under the tree. I’m referring, of course, to the release of the official, free Skype application (iTunes link) for iPhone that took place first thing this morning in every [...]
With the iPhone OS 3.0 announcement that Apple’s new iPhone software update will include Google Maps integration, you can expect an explosion of location-based apps to start appearing in the App Store. There are already a few location-based apps available now, including ones we’ve written about before — Job Compass and Locly, for instance. Here [...]
Welcome one and all to the weekend, a time for rest, relaxation and fresh pickings from the App Store.
Before checking out this week’s apps, we’ve got seven days worth of Apple happenings to run through.
First up, the week kicked off with a scathing review of the Daniel X graphic novel — an utterly dull comic-book [...]
Maybe you’ve gone the jailbreaking route with your iPhone, or maybe you haven’t, but you’ve likely been tempted by all the tantalizing apps and utilities available for those who have. Now there’s a new method for getting those apps on your iPhone, and it doesn’t necessarily require jailbreaking in order to work — although, I [...]
It’s the weekend, traditionally a time for quiet contemplation of the freshest iPhone releases, welcome to the App Store Pick.
Hang on there one moment though because before we run headlong in to a stack of apps, we’ve got but a few moments to look at the latest happenings on TheAppleBlog this week.
First up, Neil Gaiman’s [...]
A calendar specifically designed for tracking your goals, Streaks aims to join the pantheon of excellent iPhone productivity apps.
Both the touch and the iPhone, the latter in particular, are ideal platforms for productivity tools. The connected nature of the pocketable Apple devices means we can be grabbing all sorts of data about our daily lives [...]
On the eve of the iPhone 3.0 event, rumors are once again circulating that Apple will introduce a Premium section of the iTunes App Store, in order to provide a venue for developers to present higher priced apps without having to vie for attention with the many, many cheap independent apps currently available. The existing [...]
Place your iPhone on the floor and prepare to dance a merry jig, it’s the weekend and that means I’ve prepared a selection of fresh picks from the App Store.
As ever, before we get stuck in to a hand-picked selection of the latest releases from the App Store, I’ve delved in to the week’s Apple [...]
The iPhone, despite aggressive attempts to block such efforts by AT&T (with Apple’s help), did occasionally offer some apps that actually managed to save users some money in one way or another. For instance, for a while, people could tether their phones to their computers in order to share the data connection without having to [...]
Convert, an app for converting an array of different units, looks great and, in theory, should be quite useful. Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good on this one.
The iPhone isn’t just about gaming and entertainment. Admittedly, I’ve got two screens worth of music and gaming apps, another screen for news, books and recipes, and then [...]
Results of a recent study by Pinch Media were released (and poked fun at by The Onion) and reveal that users of iPhone/iPod touch apps lose interest quickly. Our own Om Malik actually pointed this out just a month after the App Store launched, and it seemingly continues to hold true today. But how relevant [...]
Yesterday we covered Apple’s seemingly automated rejection of a new Tweetie update, which has thankfully since been reversed. It must’ve been a no brainer once they realized what they’d done, especially since, while using Wordbook last night, I found I was able to search for, find, and have a computerized voice speak any profanity I [...]
For the first time in the App Store (at least as far as games are concerned) competing developers are joining forces to release their wares as one in the 5 Fingers Bundle ($5 in the App Store). Similar in concept to MacUpdate, these five developers are offering their great games as one, for almost a [...]
As you are probably well aware, pretty much every one of Apple’s competitors in the smartphone market either has or is planning to develop its very own App Store-type method of distributing platform-specific software for their handheld devices. While this is generally a good thing, because it weakens the hold of carriers on the type [...]
It’s the first Saturday of March, which means one thing: grab your iPhone, prime your mind, and focus your eyeballs, because I’ve got another selection of fresh App Store picks for you.
Before we get to this week’s apps, there’s a stack of Apple happenings to run through. In App Store-related news, game development outfit Last [...]
Well, right away, “App World” doesn’t win any points in the name category. It sounds like a bargain basement retailer of remainder App Store stock. What it actually is, though, is BlackBerry’s new application store, the details of which were just unveiled last night. Perhaps not coincidentally, they announced their official plans on the same [...]
Lately people have been talking about how short the attention span is of the average iPhone app purchaser. Having just gone through one of my regular app purges myself, and reduced my iPhone from six to two pages of apps (including those included by default), I’m somewhat familiar with the phenomenon. IUGO, makers of Toy [...]
Taking the iPhone’s potential even further, Tapulous is here to show us how games can play good and sound awesome.
The Tap Tap Revenge series has come a long way since its humble beginnings almost two years back. Indeed, back in September ‘07, indie developer Nate True spent a couple of days designing the game’s first [...]
Once upon a time, anyone who wanted to could post a review of any app available in Apple’s App Store. You could just drop in on the top paid apps list, prepare a number of scathing single-star reviews based on the outrageous prices of each app, and possibly make a significant dent in their overall [...]
