Productivity apps are aplenty on the iOS App Store, with new apps being added daily to allow users to squeeze the most out of their days. Some of us are able to knuckle down and whizz through growing workloads while others need a more structured layout with the required tasks and chores being clearly defined for the day ahead. There are many different time management philosophies, but there is only one of which I'm aware of, and it is based on the methodologies of a former U.S. President.
It has been said numerous times in the past, but the best mobile software available on the App Store generally tends to be the creations that are simple to use, beautiful to look at and offer a solution to problem that has been faced by real device owners and users. Typic for iPhone and iPod touch has all three of those bases covered, and although it may not be a must-have app for every iOS device owner, it is definitely something which photography fans and those who love to edit photographs will want to have in their arsenal.
With the iPhone 5 taking most of the iOS-based attention in the last ten days, some users may have forgotten about the power and versatility that comes attached with performing a jailbreak and using the available software that lives on the Cydia store. The QuickIM package from UnlimApps is one of the latest offerings to land in the jailbreak community and affords users the ability to integrate Facebook Chat and Google Talk into one single instance.
Whether, in actuality, smartphones and tablets make us more organized, functional beings is a matter of debate, but certainly, being in possession of a device offering calls, SMS, web, e-mail and pretty much everything in between, is supposed to make our daily digital (and indeed, non-digital) errands just that little bit easier to run.
There is no denying that the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are fantastic and powerful little devices when it comes to music and video playback. That experience has been improved a little with the new interface of the Music app that ships with iOS 6. For those who love their iOS devices but can't bring themselves to get involved with iTunes to handle music and videos, then iOS developer Jonas Gessner may have the answer for those who are jailbroken.
There is no shortage of photography apps on the App Store. From end-to-end solutions like Camera+ and Snapseed, to focused ones like DMD Panorama, and IncrediBooth; there is something for everyone!
Every now and then, a jailbreak package comes along that seems like it should have been a part of Apple's own implementation of iOS. The new Merge tweak that has been unveiled by Joshua Tucker and Andrew Richardson during the JailbreakCon event in San Francisco is one of those creations and it wouldn't be surprising if Apple actually adopted it going forward. Merge greatly improves the iMessage feature on compatible iOS devices by merging conversations into one on a per contact basis.
Although you can bookmark Google Maps on your iOS 6-running device’s home screen, but the experience is somewhat hampered since the web app opens up in Mobile Safari. We have come across a way on how to run the web app in full-screen mode along with the old iOS Google Maps icon for an even better, immersive Google Maps experience on iOS 6.
We all know those people who, ignorant to the dangers of sharing confidential information online, will happily post their cellphone number for the entire world to see on some of the web's most frequented sites. And whenever we do see the occasional imbecile make such a blasé error, we usually look, say to ourselves "whew, I'd never do something that stupid," and continue about our business.
Following hot on the heels of their previous update for their main iOS app, Facebook has taken the opportunity to push out a new update for their extremely popular Messenger app for the iPhone. Rather than just being an incremental update, Facebook has made enough changes to the messaging app to warrant it a v2.0 tag, and is now available through the App Store as a free download for new users and as an update to those who already have the app installed.
