We like great apps here, and when they happen to go absolutely free, we like them even more. Today, a feature-rich PDF management app, which lets you view and annotate PDF files on your iPhone and iPad, has just hit that zero-dollar price tag, and as ever, we've got all of the details and download link coming up after the fold.
The Apple iPhone 6 is arguably the hottest topic in tech space right now, and given the purported redesign and significant size increases in store, it's no wonder smartphone fans are firmly gripped by another dose of iPhone Fever. While we've long since presumed that the handset would arrive in late September, as it ordinarily does, sources out of China have offered a firm date.
Given that iOS 8 is already in its second beta, some of the features announced at WWDC are starting to take shape, and naturally, jailbreak developers have sought to emulate some of iOS 8's treasures by recreating them for those on the current iOS 7. The Notification Center will be subject to a relative overhaul with iOS 8, with a new look allied to widget support, and if you're in favor of this smartly-modified aesthetic, then a new tweak will help you to achieve the new look without jumping into the potentially unstable realm of betadom.
The jailbreak scene has a rich tradition of releasing jailbreak tools for Mac OS X initially, with a Windows / Linux roll-out following shortly thereafter. However, the Pangu jailbreak collective from China turned the scene on its head in more than one way with the recent release of their untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1.x, and given its Windows-only nature, many folks were left scrambling around trying to locate an old PC. Pangu did promise that a Mac edition would be forthcoming, though, and it has since come to light that the team is currently working to deliver on its promise.
Apple's WWDC keynote a couple of weeks back introduced a number of new and exciting features to the melting pot, and although nothing was explicitly mentioned about the new Flyover City Tours feature headed to the Maps app, the company did mention that its in-house mapping solution would be subject to some significant improvements across the board. One eagle-eyed developer spotted the feature hidden inside iOS 8 beta 2, which was rolled out back last week, and now, any beta user can enjoy limited access to the feature.
Finding useful, functional apps is a pretty arduous task at the best of times, and while iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users are spoilt for choice given the many hundreds of thousands of great apps gracing the iTunes Store, searching for an app for every occasion can be both enjoyable and tedious in equal measure. As such, many developers create apps offering a multitude of functions under one roof, and one, which offers over 200 different features in a Swiss Army-esque package, has just gone free!
Amazon has updated its Instant Video app for iOS users, and hopes to reel viewers in with a feature allowing the first episode of a TV show to be watched for free. The episode will be ad-supported, and at this time subsequent episodes will not be, but it does perhaps foresight a business model that Amazon may seek to explore in the future.
As you might already have learned by now, Chinese group Pangu just took the jailbreaking world by storm with the release of its new, untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1. Although some tweaks should work right off the bat, others will require developer intervention before they can be deemed ready for prime time, and below, you'll find a list of currently-compatible tweaks for Pangu-jailbroken devices.
The Pangu team might just have delighted the jailbreak scene with the release of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7.1 - 7.1.1, but it's not without its share of early issues. Bundled within the package is an app called PPSync, which is known to cause certain stock apps to crash, and make the system feel generally unstable, and basically subject iOS to no-end of nuisance. The obvious solution, then, would be to remove this package post-haste, and below, we'll show you just how to do this.
Pangu iOS 7.1.1 and iOS 7.1 untethered jailbreak was released moments ago, and as promised, here are instructions on how to use said tool to jailbreak your iOS device untethered.
