Every dev team worthy of their place in the Apple ecosystem has been frantically updating their available apps to include full compatibility with the polarizing new OS to come out of Cupertino - iOS 7 - and of course tweaking the look and feel of the app where applicable. The big players in the game are no different, with today being the turn of Netflix to push out version 5.0 of their universal iOS app that brings the obligatory iOS 7 support as well as a number of other notable improvements for users.
The App Store may be a treasure trove of casual games such as your physics-based puzzlers, but over the past couple of years, we've seen plenty of popular console franchises make the leap to mobile space. The NBA 2K series is a primary example of this growing trend, and around this time of year is when the new version usually makes its its début. Right on cue, NBA 2K14 has been released for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and if you're a big fan of basketball, you'll certainly want to be checking it out.
FIFA 14 for iOS was released just last week, but unfortunately for avid soccer fans, it was restricted to those based in specific regions. Today, not only has the latest installment of the popular series taken its worldwide bow, but for the very first time, FIFA has made its long-awaited debut for Android over at the Google Play Store. Details, as as well as the download info, can be found after the break.
Google's purchase of Quickoffice back in June last year raised more than a few eyebrows, but while the search giant has been somewhat busy with other projects over the past twelve or so months, today's announcement that Quickoffice will be free for both iOS and Android users will be music to ears of those looking to be productive on-the-fly. In a year that has seen Microsoft expand its own Office suite to iOS and Android, the Big G has now offering the Quickoffice service completely free, meaning consumers can actually edit Microsoft Office documents without having to pony up any money.
Today is iOS 7 day, not that we need to tell you that. If you've been anywhere near the internet today then you'll no doubt have had that fact rammed down your throat repeatedly by this point.
Although us geeks (yes, I'm dragging you in, too) will be more than familiar with iOS 7 and its features and characteristics, most of the general population will be in for a shock when they begin to update their devices to the fruit company's latest and greatest firmware. Aesthetically, the differences is like day and night, and with this in mind, it stands to reason that many might feel a little bamboozled upon applying the update. As such, Apple has added the iOS 7 user guide to the iBookstore, which can be downloaded right now free of charge.
If you’re a diehard gamer then there’s no way GTA 5 went past your radar.

If you’ve gotten your hands on GTA 5 at launch (if you’re lucky enough), then you definitely need some orientation with the title, and there’s no better way to do it than an on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
It may still be a week until FIFA 14 gets its console release, but that doesn't mean that those packing an iOS device can't get their (proper) football on.
If you're anything of a mobile gamer then the chances are you're more than familiar with Gameloft. As ever present on the App Store as well as just about every other mobile marketplace, Gameloft has made some of the most well received titles to ever grace a smartphone. That's why when Gameloft released Asphalt 8: Airborne, everyone took notice.
The demise of Google Reader brought with it a fair amount of unhappy mojo within the technology industry. A number of extremely popular and favored RSS readers and apps were forced to withdraw their support for the service, which in some cases left the software in a position where it either needed to reinvent itself or simply fall into the RSS abyss. Silvio Rizzi's Reeder app was always considered to be one of the best feed readers around, meaning that there was no way the developer would let his creation wither and die.
