Rockstar Games promised, and has finally delivered a mobile version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. To commemorate ten years of the legendary title, a touch-friendly version has been created, and for those running on iOS, it is now available at the App Store for download.
Apple may have been keen to remove any remnants of Google from its iOS ecosystem with iOS 6, but even though the removal of the Big G's Maps service turned out to be a great mistake. However, ditching the YouTube app - which had remained basically untouched since the introduction of the iPhone back in 2007 - was more of a case of good riddance to bad rubbish. The stock app had become severely antiquated, but while native support scrapped, a revamped, smooth iteration was released to the App Store, and today, said app has been given a generous update.
Of all the various apps currently gracing Apple's iTunes Store, the to-do list offerings rank right up there with the note-takers as the most common. There are literally hundreds of apps claiming to have the perfect combination of interface and features to help you through even the busiest of days, but To-do Lists Mobile by AntLogic is certainly one of the best we've stumbled across so far.
Downloading a game that is centered around pure arithmetic might not sound like everyone's idea of a great time, especially when the App Store is home to a plethora of sporting, simulation and action games. With that said, they do say that a change is good for the soul, so where is the harm in having some fun directly from the palm of your hand while also feeding your brain the food it needs to stay active? Math QuizUp is a new game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that allows a user to test their arithmetic skillsagainst other gamers in a mathematical face-off.
The Adobe Photoshop Touch app may be familiar to a lot of design professionals who love the versatility and power of being able to create and edit photographs on the go, but the chances are that it has actually managed to pass a few people by without creating to much of a fuss. Love it or hate it, Photoshop is definitely one of the most popular design apps of choice for those who deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis with the iPad.
Google has taken the world of Web browsers by storm in the past couple of years, with its Chrome offering quickly having become the utility of choice for surfers worldwide. The Android version has been solid from the get-go, and with the recent introduction of the iOS iteration, the Big G finally brought its famed browser to the iPhone and iPad. Despite Apple's restrictions on developers bringing their own engines to the iOS fold, the engine certainly isn't the end-all, be-all, and today's updates for Chrome on iOS today prove that point once more.
Last year, the release of 500px took the iPad world by storm. Prior to its release, there had been a distinct lack of photography apps suited to the Cupertino tablet, with devs preferring to cater to the iPhone. But 500px reminded us that a well-polished app for iPad can wind up being just as much of a hit with iOS users, and so it has proved. Now, the app popularized by the iPad has been wonderfully reworked for the iPhone, and is now ready and waiting for you at the App Store.
It was somewhat funny when I came across Tap-Translate. You see, in my professional life, my industry is actually Translations & Localization, and coming from that, I know how important it is to be able to read a foreign language write-up with the right deliverance of meaning to reach the right conclusion. This is even more important in certain industries and professions, like the financial services sector, but anyone using the internet can come across any such case where you might find some information useful to you in a language that you don’t understand, but would still want to read it. Thankfully, with browsers like Google Chrome, you can get a whole page automatically translated – complete with automatic source language detection – but what if you don’t have access to such a desktop browser? What if, like me, you, too, are a fan of browsing the web on your iPad?
I am a bit of a fiend when it comes to apps and games for my mobile devices, and over the years, I've learned to become rather shrewd in what I buy, and when I buy it. While a lot of apps and games are indefinitely free, many of the better offerings charge for the privilege, and what with it being Black Friday today, many coveted paid titles are available absolutely free of charge!
First-person shooters offering rich, immersing multiplayer experiences are recognized mostly as suited to the PC, as well as consoles like the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. However, the rise of mobile as a respectable gaming platform has seen many popular titles gain significant fan bases on iOS and Android. Dead Trigger and Archetype are prime examples of multiplayer games you can enjoy online, on the fly, and joining them today comes another great offering in the form of SHADOWGUN: DeadZone.
