Ben Reid·October 31, 2014

With Apple touting HealthKit and Google also joining the fold with Google Fit, it was inevitable that Microsoft would join the fold at some point, and having taken the wraps off its fitness-related Microsoft Band wearable, the accompanying health and fitness platform - aptly named Microsoft Health - was also launched alongside the wrist worn gadget. Designed for the Microsoft Band, there's an app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone right off the bat, and as ever, we've all of the details under one roof.

You Can Now Install Cydia Directly From Pangu App After Jailbreaking

Ben Reid·October 31, 2014

The Pangu team has just announced via Twitter that users who've jailbroken using Pangu8 1.0 can go ahead and install Cydia directly from the Pangu app itself. Given that Pangu 1.1 is set to arrive shortly - a release that will inject Cydia as part of the jailbreaking process - those who've waited so long for a simpler set of steps finally have their wish, and if you don't want to wait for the next major installment of Pangu, you can instead pluck Cydia 1.1.14 from the current version.

Saurik Updates Cydia Substrate To Version 0.9.5016

Ben Reid·October 30, 2014

As far as jailbreakers are concerned, Cydia is the focal point of the entire experience. The go-to hub for tweaks, themes and other niceties, it's considered the central portal, the nucleus of the entire operation. But as many have begun to discover with this latest Pangu8 untether, Cydia doesn't operate alone, and in actual fact, there are a number of key apps and services driving devices that have been jailbroken. Cydia Substrate, also developed and maintained by Cydia author Saurik, is an essential piece of the jigsaw, and after a couple of major updates already since Pangu arrived ten days ago, version 0.9.5016 brings fixes for jailbreakers running older versions of iOS.

iPhone 6 / 6 Plus To Outsell Galaxy Note 4 10-to-1, According To Analyst

Ben Reid·October 30, 2014

The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus haven’t just been popular smartphones among critics and consumers, but in terms of sales, they’ve already broken all kinds of records. Rivaling vendors in the mobile industry have sought to counter, with Google having recently taken the wraps off the Motorola-made Nexus 6 smartphone, but the rampant success of the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus won't have stung any competitor quite as severely as Samsung. The Korean outfit's Note series, considered flagship alongside the Galaxy S line-up, has been a saving grace for fans of handsets with large displays, but even with the Galaxy Note 4 announcement being bolstered by the intriguing Galaxy Note Edge, there's seemingly little that the Tizen maker can do to halt the dominance of its bitter rival.

How To See List Of Songs You’ve Had Asked Siri To Identify On iOS 8 / 8.1

Ben Reid·October 30, 2014

Shazam has essentially eliminated that ever-so-annoying "what song is this, again?" conversation that we used to have amongst ourselves whenever we heard a song we liked on the radio. As a third-party app / service, it's been running for years now, but with iOS 8, Apple took the favorable step of baking it into Siri. So instead of using the app - which becomes typically hard to find when you know a song is about to end - one can simply ask for title, artist and album through the digital slave that is Siri. Yes, this is even more convenient than Shazam as we already knew it pre-iOS 8, but then again, at least Shazam keeps a neat list that we can always refer to. iOS 8 does too, although it's a little trickier to find, and so, we've compiled a very little guide to help you find a list of the songs that you've asked Siri to tag.

If you haven't been living under a rock, you would know that Handoff basically integrates your Mac and iOS device which allows the user to seamlessly begin task on one machine - say a Mac - and pick it up from another, such as an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

ForceReach Lets You Customize And Extend Capabilities Of iPhone 6 / 6 Plus Reachability Feature

Aatif·October 29, 2014

With every new release of iOS comes a slew of features that expand on the OS's capabilities and functionality, and let users interact with and use their devices in a different manner. The beauty of jailbreak tweaks, however, is that they expand on those features even further, making it possible to do things that the company didn't allow by default. One such feature with iOS 8 was the Reachability aspect, which basically works only on the larger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, bringing things in easier range by compacting them towards the bottom of the screen. While pretty great, there were certain limitations with the native implementation of Reachability, and those are what ForceReach - a freshly released Cydia tweak for iOS 8 / 8.1 - aims to address.
