If you’re a diehard gamer then there’s no way GTA 5 went past your radar. After tons of screenshots and teasers, the fifth iteration of the groundbreaking title has landed today on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. If you’ve gotten your hands on GTA 5 at launch (if you’re lucky enough), then you definitely need some orientation with the title, and there’s no better way to do it than an on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
It may still be a week until FIFA 14 gets its console release, but that doesn't mean that those packing an iOS device can't get their (proper) football on.
Apple's iOS is a very popular, generally stable mobile OS, but in terms of functionality, is still rather limited. The jailbreak scene has ensured that, at least for those willing to release the Cupertino's shackles, said constraints can be removed, and one of the areas in which jailbreakers have reaped the biggest benefits is in messaging. The likes of BiteSMS have changed the face of messaging on iOS, and now, another entrant purports to make the process of managing SMS just that little bit more pleasurable. It's called Anemo, and you can catch the details after the leap!
We're big fans of the Iron Man series of films here at Redmond Pie, and we're going to go out on a limb and guess that you probably are, too. The movies always do extremely well at the Box Office, and home format sales tend to be pretty great too. That's why Marvel said they were launching a JARVIS-inspired iOS app not long ago along with the launch of Iron Man 3 movie on iTunes, and that app is now live on the App Store.
There had been one or two rumors floating about that Apple's iWork Suite, along with iLife, would be going free. Leaks of app information pages seemed to corroborate this notion, and today, Apple has announced that iWork, iPhoto and iMovie will be free of charge.
When it comes to gimmicky new features, all of the major smartphone vendors are at it in one way or the other, and with every new Galaxy S release from Samsung, the company has tried to impress the world with a plethora of perks. Air Gestures is one such feature, but if you're an iPhone user with no inclination to make the jump to an Android, you probably haven't interacted with this interesting implementation on any kind of level. Luckily, the jailbreak scene enables the rules to be broken from time to time, and if you've ever wanted to enjoy an element of control over device by throwing the odd wave here and there, a new tweak by the name of WaveOff has you covered. Details after the jump!
Hacking, as we've seen on many occasions, can be used for good as well as evil, or at least unscrupulous ends, but a new game for iOS by the name of 868-HACK plays down the wider issues by letting you have fun and essentially become a computer geek yourself. Of course, since it's made purely for entertainment, there's nothing amiss (although one suspects some App Store browsers may be initially off-put), and once you get into it, there's much fun to be had.
With so many third party Web browsers available on the iOS App Store, and one of those being the ever popular and constantly improving Google Chrome, Safari is leading something of a charmed life for many iOS users. In fact, if it wasn't for the inability to change the default browser on non-jailbroken devices, it's arguable whether some of us would ever use Safari on iOS at all.
A while back, it was revealed that a vulnerability within OS X / iOS left users potentially susceptible to a DoS-like attack. Although Apple is usually fairly swift in clearing up any issues that could defame the relatively secure nature of its major ecosystems, renowned jailbreak developer Filippo Biga has come through with a tweak-based solution for those on jailbroken iOS devices.
iOS and OS X are becoming more and more similar with every new version. OS X received a generous dose of "iOS-ification" last year with Mountain Lion, which saw a plethora of mobile features, such as Reminders, iMessage and Notification Center, make their way to the desktop. And seeing as iOS is still very much OS X's apprentice, apps like Safari are modeled on the main versions built for the Mac range. But while these two ecosystems are slowly becoming as one, communication between the two is still very much a strained affair. However, DeskConnect, a new app for iOS, helps make the sharing of information between the two as effortless as possible, and if you're looking for something to draw your two favorite gadgets even closer together, it’s well worth a look.
