There's been a ton of innovative and exciting mobile and desktop apps and tools that have managed to attract a lot of initial attention before falling into obscurity. Remember Knock? The app that allows you to unlock your Mac without inputting a password? Sure, it still has a fair amount of satisfied users, but the hype around it seems to have quickly dissipated into nothing. The same affliction doesn't seem to be applied in equal measures to tweaks that are released into the jailbreak world, with hype already starting to build for BioUnlock, a tweak that hooks into the iPhone 5s Touch ID sensor to essentially offer the same functionality as Knock.
Love them or loathe them, you cannot escape Internet memes. They're everywhere, and this is sue in no small part to sites like Imgur. The image hosting service has sought to turn itself from a simple storage hub to the YouTube of viral images, and has, to some degree, succeeded thus far. The Imgur iOS app has been around for a while now, allowing mobile users to continue browsing, posting, rating and commenting on their favorite images and memes, and now, the meme generation facility has just arrived for iOS.

Prettify For iPhone Is A No Fuss Photo Editor With Powerful And Simple Editing Tools [Download Link]
Photo editors for the iPhone and iPad are pretty much overflowing in the iTunes App Store, and quite honestly, I feel that every third app that I come across belongs to the Photography category. In fact, these apps have now crossed over and in-between - you get camera apps that boast full editing suites embedded within, and likewise get photo editors that double as fully capable camera apps. So what’s the point of another new app, let alone review it?
Jailbreaking is often all about skinning iOS, making things look the way people want them to and giving tweakers the power to alter just about any aspect of the interface, no matter how big or small. But there's so much more in jailbreaking, with some of the best reasons to go through the process being some of the tweaks that add functionality that Apple would probably never sanction.
While Dropbox has been offering its cloud storage services for a good few years now, things are a lot more crowded with the big names in tech chiming in with their own efforts. Microsoft's SkyDrive, Google Drive, and Apple iCloud have all emerged over the past couple of years, but despite their presence, the smaller companies continue to plug away for a piece of that pie. Box is one such service, and has really thrown down the gauntlet to its overbearing competitors by announcing 50GB of free storage to those on iOS. The promotion, which is in celebration of the app's recent iOS 7-ification, can be obtained by anybody with an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, so if you're interested, check out the details after the leap!
Although the improvements made to smartphone cameras over the last few years has enabled anyone and everyone to try their hand at becoming a photographer / director, this wealth of technology in the hands of amateurs can, and often does, produce disastrous results.
Jailbreaking is all about customization, and if there's one area of iOS that people like to fettle in all kinds of weird and wonderful ways, it's the iOS lock screen. In fact, some of our favorite jailbreak tweaks are customizations for the lock screen, so when we heard about Unlockr, we were rather intrigued.
So sometimes we see jailbreak tweaks pop up that wow us immediately, and then sometimes we see tweaks that have us wondering why anyone would really use them beyond the initial novelty factor. Somehow, Touchy for iPhone 5s fits squarely into both of those categories, and with good reason.
One of the iOS App Store's most powerful method of unarchiving ZIP files has just been put through a significant update. WinZip for iOS, released by WinZip Computing LLC, has long been thought of as the de-facto options for users wanting to interact with archived files directly on their iOS device. Although the universal app has benefited from relatively minor upgrades during the course of 2013, the push to version 3.0.0 sees a total app overhaul to fall in line with the new iOS 7 guidelines as well as supporting a number of iOS 7 only technologies.
Finally, the wait is over! Jay Freeman, who is more widely known as Saurik, has released updated version of WinterBoard that fully supports all devices running iOS 7, including the newer ones on ARM64 like iPhone 5s, iPad Air and Retina iPad mini.
