We all love a good and decent looking weather app on our phones here at Redmond Pie, and for that very reason we’ve decided to compile a list of our favorite ones which you can download and try on your iPhone right now.
OpenSignal, a popular app for Android allowing users to survey local mobile phone network and WiFi coverage based on crowd-sourced info from other users, has just made its way to iOS via the App Store. Details, as well as the download link, can be found after the break.
Facebook's Home launcher may only have catered to a small number of Android devices, but by ensuring Chat Heads, one of the marquee features of Home, made its way to the rest of the Android community via the Messenger app, the Menlo Park company made sure the remaining Droidsters got at least a taste of the new features. In what was seen as something of a surprise, this was then followed by an update to Facebook for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which saw a rather limited Chat Heads effort manifest itself on Apple's iOS. As well as not being able to work across the system (a situation currently being looked into by one jailbreak developer), the limit to the number of Chat Heads at any one point renders the feature pretty restricted; but thanks once again to the great work of the jailbreak scene, you can now enjoy more of those little bubble Chat Heads at any one time.
Yahoo! drifted into relative anonymity for a considerable period during the 2010s, sitting on the sidelines as Google almost single-handedly dominated with its assortment of powerful Web-based apps. However, the company has been busy reinventing its image of late, and as part of that movement, the Sunnyvale outfit has just introduced a couple of new apps for iPhone, iPad and Android tablets. As well as Yahoo! Weather for iPhone, there's a new Mail app catering to the larger displays of the iPad and Android-running tablets.
The rumor that Twitter's eagerly anticipated music service would be dropping late last week may have turned out to be false, but today, Twitter #music is finally upon us. With many hundreds of millions of active users on its network, a concentrated music discovery service would seem the natural next step, and although still in the early stages, it will help users source new artist recommendations based on their Twitter activity. An iOS app also accompanies the launch, and although there isn't a corresponding Android version just yet, it should hit the Google Play Store before long. Full details can be found right after the break!
As if we've been short of future-gen iPhone concept ideas of late, German designer Eric Huismann has once again explored the idea of a transparent display in his 'iPhone 6' design. The very slick looking device is 17% thinner than the already svelte iPhone 5, packs a 10-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, and an upgraded A7 processor. Feel free to drool over the images after the break!
There's been a significant amount of chit-chat regarding third-party mail apps on the iOS App Store. The original pretender to the throne was the Sparrow app that began life on OS X before being migrated across to iOS and then ultimately snapped up by Google who promptly stopped development of the project. We've since had the Mailbox app that managed to generate an interest from millions of users, and more recently, we've seen the Mail Pilot offering that may cost a lot but also brings a new way of looking at email in a minimalist and clean interface. I've attempted to use all of the above mentioned apps as my primary email clients on the iPhone, but always end up falling back on Apple's native offering on iOS 6.
The iPhone 4 is considered by many as the biggest leap in the advancement since the Apple smartphone's inception back in 2007. A completely overhauled, high-end design was accentuated further by the introduction of the Retina display, and belatedly perhaps, the camera was given an uber-bright LED flash. A complete win. Typically of Apple, the flash feature felt slightly unfinished, since while some apps allow the LED to operate in torch mode prior to the taking of a snap, Apple's native Camera app does not offer this facility. Luckily, there's a tweak for that, and it goes by the name of PhotoTorch.
Here’s a complete step-by-step guide on how to enable Chat Heads and Stickers for your account on Facebook 6.0 app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
