Facebook is today rolling out an update to its popular - well, people hate it but it gets used a lot - Messenger app, with the main new feature being the ability to instantly share your exact location with your friends, that too on a map.
For the first time ever, this $15 task management app for iOS has just shed its price tag and is available absolutely free for a limited period thanks to Apple's free 'App of the Week' initiative. There have been discounts and promotions before but a complete drop of the price tag is a first.
You like free goodies, right? So do we. In fact, we love them so much that we feel that it is a sin to not share our daily findings with you, across the iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPad, and the Mac App Store. Today, we have some neat utilities and games on offer that are free in their respective stores for a limited time, and you can read all about them right here.
iOS has seen its fair share of encrypted messaging apps, specifically those offering a secret-agent like experience. If you're an emoji fan, then this new messaging app with its emoji based encryption will not only keep your texts a secret from prying eyes, but chances are no one will bother looking much deeper into a message consisting of nothing but an expressive bunch of characters.
There are quite a few iOS apps that go free on the App Store once in a while, but nothing beats the free 'App of the Week' initiative by Apple which brings forth one quality app every week but with the usual price tag shed off. This week's offering happens to be a game called Hyper Square, a puzzler which usually retails for $1.99 on the App Store.
Pixelmator, the extremely popular Mac image editing and manipulation app has today come to the iPhone after initially making its iOS debut on the iPad back in October of last year. The new iPhone app is actually that same iPad app but converted into a universal app, meaning anyone who already owns Pixelmator for iPad now also owns Pixelmator for iPhone.
Where the production of the Apple Watch has just been recently amped up by the Cupertino camp much to fans' relief, it has not slowed down the rollout of adapted apps for the Watch OS. Keeping up with the trend, Marriott Hotels have just updated their app to now support Apple's first wearable.
We love Touch ID and we know that you do too, so any app that can use the fingerprint sensor instead of forcing us to enter passwords, passcodes or anything else for that matter will always be a win for us. Finally, we can now include PayPal's iPhone app in the list of apps that use Touch ID.
Here's how you can check your iPhone battery life right from your Apple Watch. More details on this and download link can be found right here.
For this Memorial Day - May 25th - there are a handful of paid apps and games that have shed their usual price tags, and are now available for free. This is a limited time offer and it's best you hurry up if you want to take good advantage of it.
