Last week, developer Zeptolab released a teaser trailer of its eagerly anticipated Cut the Rope 2 release, and now, for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users at least, it has finally made its way to the App Store. An Android version is somewhat uncertain, and the developers claim to be an iOS exclusive, but if history has taught us anything, then the Android version should bear fruit next year, in the meanwhile, if you've been waiting for your next fix of this candy-swinging adventure and just so happen to own an iOS device, early Christmas presents don't get much better than this!
Screen protectors make a whole lot of sense. You buy a shiny new smartphone, unbox it, and already, the value is slowly creeping down. You buy a decent case to protect it from the daily wear-and-tear that digital hardware seems so attracted to, and the screen protector, you hope and pray, will stop the display from getting scratched or worn. But putting a screen protector on throws up all sorts of caveats. Dust seems to begin appearing just as soon as you slide away the cellophane, hitting both your device's just-polished display and the screen protector itself. If you've found yourself frustrated by the incessant bobbles of a failed screen protector application session, help is, thankfully, at hand.
If you were a fan or player of the original PlayStation, otherwise known as the PSX and later the PSOne, there's a high probability that you're familiar with the classic title that was Tomb Raider. Lara Croft's inaugural adventure has spanned many releases over a number of platforms - as well as the box office - since first hitting our screens back in 1996, and now, Square-Enix has released a touch-optimized edition for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Apple has signaled the approaching end of the year by publishing its "Best of 2013" page on the iTunes Store. The dedicated page on iTunes concentrates on digital products which the company offers for users to purchase and download, including iOS apps, music, podcasts, books and movies. As well as listing the most successful consumer downloads of the year, Apple also outlined their own choices in each category by having an Editors’ Pick for things like app and album of the year.
The Philips Hue app for iOS has been offered a handsome update today that not only brings that modern, flat aesthetic to the fold, but adds a plethora of other new features besides. We've got all of the details in one place for you below.
Yahoo's Weather app came as a bit of a surprise when it first hit the App Store back in April. The surprise wasn't so much in the fact that the app had arrived, as we'd been expecting it for a good while beforehand, but what we weren't anticipating, was how gorgeous and refined these weather apps would be. For many iOS users, Yahoo Weather has become their go-to utility for checking precipitation, temperature, wind speed and whatnot, and now, the company has pushed out a significant update that brings support for the Apple iPad.
If you've ever been faced with the daunting challenge of having to lift up to 50 pounds of weight into mid-air, and suspend it there for a period of time, then you'll know it can prove difficult. Sure, if you have the right tools and equipment then the hassle and stress can be removed, but let's be honest here, who actually has a winch based system set up in their home or work place? Thankfully the worlds of Kickstarter, smartphones and Bluetooth LE have smashed together in a collision that has produced the myLIFTER, a smart and powerful lifting device that can be controlled directly from a Bluetooth 4.0 LE compatible iOS device.
The iOS vs. Android supremacy debate is almost as old as both the platforms’ own age, and it never ceases to be. In some areas, Android takes the top spot, while others see Apple’s offering outshine its Mountain View competitor. One area, however, where iOS has always maintained the upper hand, is fragmentation - the word that causes Android fans to hide faces and come up with other allegations against the fruity OS.
You can download iOS 7.1 beta 2 right now! Apple has today released iOS 7.1 beta 2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to individuals enrolled in the iOS Developer Program. The release follows on from the iOS 7.1 beta 1 that became available on November 19th, and although we aren't seeing any major new feature implementations, it should go some way to appeasing those users with significant stability issues. Apple has clearly been taking note of developer feedback over the last few months, with iOS 7.1 starting to seriously address a number of issues that have been plaguing users after its September launch.
Of all the games to benefit from the smartphone boom, Cut The Rope has emerged triumphant. Despite the App and Google Play Stores both having popularized hundreds of great titles, a few, such as Angry Birds, Tiny Wings and Temple Run stick in the mind as stand-outs, and Cut The Rope must surely be revered among these other modern classics. As has been common knowledge for a while now, the sequel, appropriately entitled Cut The Rope 2, is incoming, and today, the first official game play trailer has been released.
