The App Store is packed to the gills with free apps, but most of the time, those that appear free are bundled with ads or in-app purchase structures that restrict the experience until money is handed over. When paid apps go free for a limited time, though, a freebie really does become a freebie, and if you happen to enjoy first-person shooters, then you'll be pleased to learn that Modern Combat 5: Blackout has just shaken off its $4 price tag for the very first time.

Google Play is a content portal used by tens of millions on a daily basis, but while it's packed to the gills with many great, and many not-so-great apps and games, it remains a work in progress. A common gripe, especially among concerned parents, is that there's no strict age ratings system in place, and since regulations vary from country to country, the Play Store has been a bit of a free-for-all at times. Now, though, the Big G has introduced a new age-ratings system that adheres specifically to the country or location that an account is based in, and the company has also revealed that its app moderation / approval process now includes human beings.
Google's Android Wear has been designed in a way that suits the search giant, and as such, products like Apple's iPhone are not officially supported. This will probably change at some point in the future as the watch-tailored version of Google's platform matures, but for the time being, any integration between iOS and Android Wear takes quite a bit of effort and, usually, a jailbreak. One developer has managed to get Android Wear answering iPhone calls without the intervention of a jailbreak, though, and with a demonstration video also supplied as proof, we get, perhaps, a preview of how Android Wear and the iPhone may eventually interact.
