Facebook aside, most photo-sharing networks focus heavily on the here-and-now, and often, we lose a sense of context, with memories of events becoming something of a blur. Thankfully, there are apps out there that allow us to relive great moments through journals, presenting features that help us to log pictures and thoughts as they occur, and one of the more popular iOS journaling apps for iOS has just gone completely free!

Civilization Revolution has taken the mobile world by storm, with strategy fans having downloaded the popular title en masse since its original release. Today the sequel, which, of course, is called Civilization Revolution 2, has just arrived, boasting a whole bunch of new and exciting features. Details, as usual, can be seen below.
We know that Android Wear, like most smartwatch ecosystems, will rely heavily on a smartphone for a great deal of its functionality. Given that they're designed, in essence, to supplement our handsets, this isn't too much of a surprise, but with some standalone Android Wear apps having just cropped up on Google Play, it's clear that the likes of the Moto 360, and LG's G Watch will have minds of their own, too. The first batch of Android Wear apps untethered by any post-installation smartphone interaction have begun appearing on the Play Store, and although, naturally, we're talking bare basics in terms of functionality, it sets a very encouraging precedent.
The deals are flying in right now for mobile device owners, and with Amazon having last week offered an almighty 30 apps and games free of charge for Android users, the App Store appears to be hot on its tail in serving iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users looking for a bargain. Once again, we're back with another six apps for iOS device owners to get stuck into, and if your home screen is looking a little scant, then join us after the leap!
Grand Theft Auto 5 has been a monumental success for Rockstar Games, having broken all sorts of sales records following its release late last year. With a next-gen version for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as the PC also in the pipeline, GTA fans remain very much engaged with this immensely popular title, and none perhaps more so than the guys at Zapruder Pictures. In Spain's capital city of Madrid, the folks of Zapruder have parodied the entire trailer in real life, and the result, as you'll see below, is truly something to admire.
Although we're always on the lookout for useful apps, it's often nice to kick back and enjoy a little game time, particularly after a long and productive day. Recently, we've brought a series of great app deals on iOS and Android, and to keep things nice and balanced, we're today sharing news of a very enjoyable, $6.99 title that has just gone free of charge over at the App Store. It has been the subject of price drops in the past, but never has it hit the magic zero-dollar mark, and below, we've got the low-down.
When Samsung announced and subsequently released the flagship Galaxy S5 earlier this year, we knew that it wouldn't be the last in the series for 2014, and that the company's marquee release would spawn a number of spin-offs. We've already been treated to the likes of the camera-centric Galaxy K, or Galaxy S5 Zoom, but the one we were really waiting for was the down-sized Galaxy S5 mini. Today, the Korean company has granted our wish, officially unveiling the device by means of a press release, and below, we've got all of the info.
Although Apple's OTA update system is a great deal more convenient than the old method of connecting to iTunes, it's a system that hasn't been entirely streamlined, as some attempting to apply the latest iOS 7.1.2 update have discovered. The software, which was rolled out to fix an email attachment encryption bug among a couple of other minor issues, is apparently causing some devices to freeze mid-update, but if you've taken the over-the-air route and also encountered this problem, you'll be pleased to learn that there's a relatively easy fix.
Apple's iTunes U, an app dedicated to helping students, has joined the rather unflattering list of largely forgotten apps and services out of Cupertino. But despite not having taken off in quite the manner that Apple would have hoped, the fruit company has today announced an update, which includes a multitude of new features and services that will begin to roll out as of next week. Full details, as ever, can be seen below.
Over the weekend, we brought you whole bunch of great iOS apps gone free, and to kick off this week, we're back with half a dozen more. As ever, you'll find the descriptions, original prices and download links below, so join us after the leap.
