Apple's first smartwatch, the Apple Watch, which was announced alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus back last month, has been the subject of rave reviews by most of those who've encountered it, and it seems that both techies and watch aficionados have fallen for the charms of the device's design, software, and general feature set. The UI, in particular, has garnered a fair bit of praise so far, and although we'll personally reserve judgment until we've had a chance to use it in "early 2015," one designer has already dreamt up an interesting concept that imagines the wearable's circular interface on the iPhone.
Despite its purchase of image-sharing app Instagram a couple of years ago, Facebook remains dedicated to the task of encouraging users to upload their snaps onto the world's foremost social network, and as per an official blog post, the company is now adding a couple of useful new features for this very purpose. Notably, the update is dedicated to making it easier and quicker to upload multiple photos on mobile, and with users also able to select the order of the album in swift fashion, should prove a very useful enhancement for rampant photo sharers on both iOS and Android.
Now that there is an iOS 8 jailbreak out for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and other devices, it's a case of sitting back and waiting for all of your favorite tweaks to be updated to take advantage of what the new mobile operating system has to offer. In the worst cases those tweaks might even need updates to make them work at all.
Console quality games on mobile devices has long been the holy grail for game developers, but making those games as good as is humanly possible on smartphones and tablets takes that challenge one step further. Rockstar Games is already pretty damned good at turning its AAA titles into mobile wonders, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is no exception.
This week has seen the very first jailbreak released for the new iOS 8 - 8.1 firmware, and whereas, ordinarily, the process of using a jailbreak tool is fairly simple to the end user, the decision of Chinese team Pangu to roll its exploit out so early has left a trail of compatibility issues. Fortunately Saurik, the guy behind Cydia among a number of other integral jailbreak services, has been hard at work in making the required adjustments, and having brought Cydia and Substrate up to speed, has now released an updated version of AFC2.
The popular Camera+ app for iOS can now be downloaded on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch for free. Usually priced at $2.99, the app that has earned the praise of many users and sold over 10 million copies can now be on your iOS device without the need to purchase it. Here's how.
Apple's acquisition of TestFlight has given a whole new dimension to pre-release features and apps, allowing interested parties to aid the process of development and improvement as an app is readied to go live. Now, Apple has opened up the TestFlight beta to everybody after a period of internal-only testing, so if you've been waiting to give it a whirl, now's your chance.
Back in the old days of the Internet, one thing that thrived above everything else was the concept of chat rooms. People would spend hours and hours in IRC rooms, hiding behind pseudonyms and being whoever they wanted to be. In the days of Java-based feature phones, applications like Mig33 and Nimbuzz attempted to bring this concept to the world of mobile communication as well, but they didn't meet much luck at that. The same concept that was massively popular on computers, never really caught on on the cellular world.
Google has announced an app called 'Inbox', developed by the Gmail Team. Technically, it servers as your Gmail client, but offers an experience nothing close to contemporary ones. Inbox is supposedly a more inherently-intelligent service that handles your emails as a service available on the Web (Chrome only), and as an app for iOS 7+ and Android 4.1+.
Emojis are now well integrated in the modern messaging world. There have been plenty of emoji projects that have since surfaced, with each posing its own art form. This has offered avid texters plenty to choose from, and that would be understating it. Makemoji for iOS is a 'do-it-yourself' emoji app that lets you create your own emojis to your heart’s desire.
