Here are the top 10 best Notification Center widgets for iOS 8 which you should download and install on iPhone right away.
Japanese gaming giant Nintendo has just released its first ever title for those running on Apple's iOS, some seven years after the platform was born. Pokémon TCG Online is essentially a digital adaptation of the trading card game, and whether you remain a massive Pokémon fan or simply recall a time that you once were, then you owe it to yourself to check it out.
You can say what you will about Popcorn Time - and let's face it, most of what could be uttered about so-called "Netflix for Torrents" has already been said - but one cannot argue that those behind it aren't frequent with their updates. With versions of the app already spanning most of the major platforms including Windows, Mac and Android, it was confirmed late in August that an iOS edition was in the making. At the time, it was noted that Popcorn Time for iPhone and iPad would become available in a matter of days, but while today's official roll-out is slightly later than we'd hoped, it does appear to be a nicely refined experience worthy of the wait.
Since iOS 8 first emerged last week, developers have been given a license to release their third-party keyboards for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. Although the stock offering has improved significantly, it's still not as flexible and customizable as some of those found over at the App Store, and as such, millions of downloads have already been made by those seeking replacements. But while we'd highly recommend the likes of SwiftKey and Fleksy for a pure typing experience, some devs have instead sought to add an element of fun to proceedings, and a new GIF-based keyboard does precisely that.

Emoji icons are a major part of the social experience, and in a large portion of Twitter posts and Facebook status updates, you're likely to see a little smiley face, a thumbs up, or any one of the many other 847 emojis available. With third-party keyboard support now a part of iOS 8, developers have a new angle through which to entice the mobile market, but while the big names like SwiftKey, Fleksy and Swype have all come through with their as-expected ports of the corresponding Android apps, several others have sought to offer something a little different.
Unless you've been too busy to check the tech headlines today, you'll know that Apple has just rolled out iOS 8, and with developers having scrambled to make the necessary tweaks to their apps, the Cupertino company has been making some adjustments of its own. A number of Apple-made applications have just been updated for iOS 8, and we've got all of the info right here.
iOS 8 has been significant for a number of reasons, but for the makers of third-party keyboards, it has been something of a godsend. For a while, Android users have benefited from the enhanced functionality offered by the likes of Fleksy and SwiftKey, and with little by way of surprise, many of familiar faces are in the pool of developers vying for the newly-found audience on iPhone and iPad. Here, we round up the various keyboards now downloadable via the iTunes Store, and if you're in the hunt for a better typing experience, check out the list after the break!
iOS 8 will finally drop for users the world over today, and according to those who have used the beta bits of it, the OS brings a completely refreshed user experience owing to the backend changes that Apple has implemented. The new and improved operating system for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad not only brings a plethora of features to play with, but also more APIs for developers to utilize in their offerings. One of the most significant amongst these is opening up the Touch ID API to the likes of 1Password, DashLane and LastPass, so that users can sign into websites even in Safari (or any browser of their choice) using the Touch ID sensor. 1Password has already demonstrated that its feature set works just fine during the beta builds of iOS 8, and now, the app is available for free for a limited time due to a glitch in Apple's system. More details and download link can be found right after the jump.
