If big game creators ever join forces to produce some kind of hybrid mashup, then I undoubtedly want to see Sonic the Hedgehog meet Super Mario, Master Chief from Halo running around Liberty City causing mayhem or see either Guile or Chun-Li coming up against the mean Samurai machine that is Tekken's Kunimitsu. Unfortunately, we aren't that lucky to be able to pick and choose certain elements from various games that we would like to play, but Capcom has taken the lead and created the crossover battle to beat them all.
Recently, there's been a marked uprising in apps related to the comic book genre, and now, digital comic publisher Madefire has joined the party with its universal app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Unlike many of your typical comic apps, which stick to a digitalization of the traditional paper editions of comics books, Madefire's app takes advantage of "motion book" technology - making the entire experience more enthralling and aesthetically-pleasing at the same time.
Apps that allow users to quickly and efficiently edit photographs on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch have always been popular offerings in the App Store, and as of this week, there is a new pretender to the throne in the form of the Gridditor app from Tai Shimizu. Gridditor lives within the Photography section and allows users to quickly edit and organize photographs in an attractive interface that manages to throw up some excellent filter combinations.
If you've ever been interested in the stock market, but have found many of the readings and jargon difficult to grasp, then you're certainly not alone, and as well as offering up-to-date information around the clock, StockTouch for iOS aids to break things down for those feeling somewhat intimidated by your traditional stock apps.
If you're a fan of comic books, specifically those of the Marvel variety, 2012 has been a pretty fruitful year in terms of solid app and movie releases. Every month seems to have brought a new movie and / or mobile app, and with The Amazing Spider-Man now showing at all good cinemas, The Amazing Spider-Man Second Screen app has just been released for Apple's iPad.
Process Is A Fully-Featured Photo-Editing App For iOS With Tons Of Effects And Photo-Editing Options
Although mobile devices are renowned for their endless benefits in many fields, one category emerging with emphasis is that of photography. The end of last year saw Apple vote image-editing app Snapseed as its favorite, and a few months into 2012, Facebook purchased the rampant social image-sharing app Instagram, in hindsight, was a lot easier for Zuck and Co. than trying to compete with it.
iOS 6 Maps has received its fair share of criticism from the customers and the press, prompting Apple to publish an apologetic letter on their official website’s landing page, and even suggesting users to use third-party alternatives until iOS 6 Maps improve.
Every now and then, a jailbreak package comes along that seems like it should have been a part of Apple's own implementation of iOS. The new Merge tweak that has been unveiled by Joshua Tucker and Andrew Richardson during the JailbreakCon event in San Francisco is one of those creations and it wouldn't be surprising if Apple actually adopted it going forward. Merge greatly improves the iMessage feature on compatible iOS devices by merging conversations into one on a per contact basis.
We all knew that JailbreakCon was going to feature some of the greatest developers and designers in the jailbreaking scene, but we didn't know that it would feature some exclusive package releases so early on in the day. UI and UX designer Joshua Tucker has taken the opportunity to announce the release of his Emblem tweak that has been created in collaboration with iOS developer Kyle Howells. Emblem is an iPad only tweak that offers users a new slant of device notifications that has taken inspiration from OS X Mountain Lion.
It hasn't exactly been a quick transition from iPhone and iPod touch to the iPad, considering the initial Camera+ iOS app has been available on Apple's smartphone and portable media devices for over two years, but some will argue that it has definitely been worth the wait. In the time since release, Camera+ has propelled itself to being one of the most loved third-party camera and editing packages available on iOS with updates over the last two years bringing significant improvements and enhancements.
