One of Google’s staple brands, YouTube has a presence just about everywhere. Today sees an update to one of the most popular YouTube apps around – the iPhone and iPad app.

Infographics are not only a great way of quickly presenting information about a topic, company or product, but their illustrative form tends to make them very easy on the eye. Status Board for iPad will automatically create a beautiful, insightful and personalized infographic from information found right on your device. This info could take the form of basic apps and activity like tweets, email, weather and news, but with ‘pro’ panels, graphs and tables allowing you to add your very own data sources, Status Board will really help you paint a picture of your entire digital spectrum.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is due to hit the market later on this month, but already, iOS developers have begun the task of offering Apple device users some alternatives to the new, S4-specific features. Earlier on this week we featured DuoCam app which introduces the Dual Shot feature for iPhone, an app which seeks to replicate one of Galaxy S4′s most applauded features, and today, an iPhone-made take on the Smart Pause feature has just emerged over at the App Store. With so many different applications making up Sammy’s “Smart” range, it’s difficult to keep track of them all, but Smart Pause, which automatically pauses media when a user looks away from their device, has somewhat manifested itself on iOS in the form of LookAway Player.

With services such as Instagram and Facebook being so popular, it’s strange to think that before the day of the smartphone and its umpteen megapixel cameras, we used to place images in physical photo albums and flick through them from time-to-time. Although times have changed considerably in the photography industry, plenty still regard actual photos and albums as part of the ‘real’ experience, and as such, we’ve seen a growing number of apps offer the shipping of images on canvas, in a frame, and even on fridge magnets. KeepShot for iPad is another following a similar trend, and allows you to easily create your own Photo Book in-app which is then subsequently shipped right to your door.

Smartphones have made it very easy for almost anybody with a vested interest in photography, or cameras in general, to hone their skills. Okay, so Instagram doesn’t really count, but you get the idea, and if you regularly use your smartphone to shoot and edit your very own video clips, you may be interested in a nifty little free app by the name of Fast Forward. It allows you to create wonderful stop-motion masterpieces by pre-setting the number of frames you wish to capture, as well as the amount of time between each frame, and the result is breathtaking at times.

Here’s how you can watch WWE WrestleMania 29 live on your iOS, Android, Xbox and Windows 8 / RT powered devices. In case you don’t already know, The Rock will be taking on John Cena for the WWE Championship, some 90,000 fans are expected to turn out to the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to see it.

Music is always a pleasant commodity at a social gathering, and such are the trends of modern technology, that most people have their entire library (or at least, an assortment of favorites) in their pocket at all times. Unfortunately, the rigmarole of chopping and changing between devices to source different artists and songs is an altogether less enjoyable experience, and can make the process rather tiresome at times. Thankfully though, one developer has come through with a solution to this common occurrence, having created an app for iOS which allows all on the same Wi-Fi to curate a playlist mixing songs from different devices. It’s called GrouPlay, and although it doesn’t solve the issue of cringe worthy dance moves, will allow the party to continue with less interruption.

The native ability of most mobile devices to take screenshots can be incredibly useful, particularly if, like us, you’re in the business of reviewing apps and games. As you may have noticed from some of our jailbreak posts, adding a device-like frame can turn a boring old capture into a beautiful, lifelike impression of a device in action, and although Photoshop skills tend to be required for these kinds of edits to be made, you can now add such frames natively on both iOS and Android. We’ve found two of the best apps in Screenshot – Frame Maker for iOS and Device Frame Generator for Android, and if you’d like to visually enhance some of your screen captures, check out the lowdown on each after the break!

Although Apple’s iCloud service very much looks after those in ownership of an an iOS device or Mac, the same cannot be said for the cloud service of rival Microsoft. SkyDrive is available across all of the major platforms, and today, the version tailored to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has just been bumped to version 3.0. As you would expect from a whole number update, there are plenty of new features off the bat, including support for full resolution photo downloads, iPad mini and iPhone 5 support, as well as a completely revamped interface. Full details, as well as the all-important download link, can be found after the break!

There’s nothing like the re-release of a classic retro title to prompt a rush of nostalgia, and for those old enough to remember, it has been almost two decades since Duke Nukem 2 first released on MS-DOS. Just before the turn of the millennium, it made its second appearance on Nintendo’s GameBoy Color, and with December marking the iconic title’s twentieth anniversary, another remake has just been released for iOS before being teased back in March. Mode details and download link after the break.

With Google having confirmed its intention to cease operation of Google Reader (in spite of hundreds of thousands of petition signatories pleading them to reconsider), Reeder has found itself looking a little bit lost. The app’s creator Silvio Rizzi has spent the past couple of weeks trying to assure users of the popular app that it wouldn’t “die with Google Reader,” but with Rizzi himself lining up one or two projects in the same field, many still suspect the service is about to be culled, the outlook is bleak. On a brighter note, as of today, Reeder for Mac and iPad is free of charge, and we’ve got the details and download links coming right up after the break.

Learning to play a new instrument, particularly if you’ve never familiarized yourself with anything like it before, can be a little daunting. But the Web is a vast library of learning resources, and now, it only takes an Internet connection and access to a decent app, video or tutorial in order to get started. The very first thing one must master – particularly when using a stringed instrument – is tuning; and although it can be a tricky process, it’s also essential for getting a good feel of the instrument. Tunable, an app for iOS and Android, not only wants to make tuning just that little bit easier, but with a very beautiful interface, users can also marvel at the stunning visuals produced during the process. More details and download links right after the jump!

We’ve grown used to Electronic Arts coming through with great deals on its expansive range of iOS titles, and with Easter just around the corner, the company has made sure gaming fans can enjoy favorites old and new for the great price of just 99 cents. The vast majority of its range has been dealt the significant price slash, and we’ve a full list coming up after the break!

We first learned last week that Square Enix’s Final Fantasy V would be hitting Japan before making its way to the App Store, as well as Google’s Play Store. Whilst the Android version still has yet to materialize, the title can now be downloaded for owners of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

We’ve made it our mission to get intricate with most of the powerful and interesting tweaks that land on Cydia. Some of them may not be to our tastes, and some of them may not offer the functionality that we would necessarily make use of, but each user is different and the old saying of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” definitely springs to mind when talking about jailbreak tweaks. We have also made it our mission to stay away from jailbreak orientated themes unless they are truly exceptional and make Apple’s iOS a genuinely more attractive and elegant place to be. I guess that must mean that the Carla theme for jailbroken iOS devices is one of those stand out creations that makes the grade.

Social magazine app Flipboard for iOS has been dealt a very healthy update today, with the marquee feature being the ability for users to create their very own, personalized digital magazines. Never shying away from beauty, Flipboard has long since been in a league of its own when it comes to ease-of-use and interface, and this rather significant update only cements its reputation as the best in the digital magazine business. As well as being able to edit your own magazine, which you can either share or keep locked away for private reading, there are a host of practical UI alterations, rendering navigation just that little bit better.

It’s a fact of humanity that some of us are better at managing money than others, and for those looking looking to keep track of every outgoing bill, help is at hand in the form of BillTracker for iOS. Created by developer SnapTap and costing $1.99 over at the App Store ($2.99 on iPad), it syncs effortlessly into your schedule, and makes the process of monitoring your money less taxing than Uncle Sam.

The iPad is largely considered a consumption device for gaming and general entertainment, but is gradually gaining credibility as a viable supplement to learning, education and productivity. As time goes on, more businesses, schools, and similar organizations are turning to the Apple tablet for their everyday needs, and one key area which developers seemed to have concentrated on is that of note-taking. The iPad has many great offerings in this particular category, and PaperDesk by WebSpinner certainly belongs on that growing list, offering a plethora of useful tools.

As a music fanatic, I am always looking for new ways to enjoy my favorite artists on my mobile devices. For me, it’s all about minimalism and functionality, and it’s a motif to which the awesomely-named developer WhazCool also appears to subscribe. Its MorningTunes app is not only striking in terms of UI, but actually proposes a very intuitive system which purports to understand your collection of music.

If you take a second to launch the iOS App Store and check out the top paid and free charts, it becomes immediately apparent how successful mobile based gaming has become on Apple’s range of iOS devices. We’ve seen time and time again that some of the biggest app launches that attract the most attention come from established and independent game developers and have managed to thrust mobile based gaming directly into the limelight.
