With so many camera apps purporting to offer a fulfilling, professional-esque point-and-shoot experience to consumers, it can be fairly hard to keep up. In order to help budding photo aficionados in the bamboozling minefield that often is shopping for a camera app, the folk at Lucky Clan have scraped "features found in numerous camera apps," lumped a couple of their own unique features on top, and developed a surprisingly solid iOS app in Top Camera.
The iOS Music app (or iPod app, if you're running on an older firmware version) is a very basic amenity, and although it does exactly what it says on the tin in playing music, it's not the most exciting experience in the world. Tunebooth Music Player by mART is everything your native player isn't, and if you like apps based on gestures, customizable layouts and dynamic theming options, it sounds as though Tunebooth is the app you've been waiting for.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is almost ready to make its tenth anniversary appearance on mobile devices, and in anticipation for the launch on December 6th, Rockstar has released a teaser video. By the looks of things, the game will look and run like the classic version on console, and since the release of GTA III to the small screen went down a treat, we'd expect the controls to have been adapted in a similar way for optimal gaming performance.
China may be the nucleus of Apple's very being in terms of manufacturing, but in terms of product releases, still generally has to wait until the United States, Europe, and much of the world has gotten its fill before seeing the likes of the iPhone and iPad. Today, the Cupertino company has released an official press statement, detailing the release of the iPhone 5 and iPad mini to the increasingly lucrative Chinese market, set to arrive in December.
Anyone visiting the Photos & Video category on the iOS App Store will be more than likely be aware that Apple's app marketplace is packed full of third-party camera and video apps that have been put before the public for purchase and download. Some of the offerings are fantastic and bring a whole new dimension to capturing pictures with an iOS device, while others are simply awful and don't really offer anything more than the stock Camera app in iOS. The new KitCam app from GhostBird Software definitely falls under the bracket of being a must-have for iPhone and iPod touch owning photography fans.
The iPhone 5 has been available to the general public for just over seventy days, and although we have already seen some rough estimates of sales and user adoption, we should accept the fact that it has taken Apple over two months to get stock levels into a position to keep up with demand. In the United Kingdom, and in other several parts of Europe, we sometimes take it for granted that we can just walk into an Apple Store or visit the website and purchase an entirely SIM-free iPhone with no minimum contract, which is a luxury now afforded to American consumers across the pond directly from an Apple Store.
We live in a fast-paced, technologically advanced world at the moment and unfortunately for us - or fortunately depending on how you look at things - we always have some task to complete or some chore to run. A large number of people employ the services of productivity based applications that they run on their mobile device to make sure they keep to their commitments and deadlines and others like me just have a list of things to do and when it's done it's done. Thankfully, calendars are generally something that we can all beat our drums to and they don't really come any better than Fantastical creation by Flexibits.
Google has taken the world of Web browsers by storm in the past couple of years, with its Chrome offering quickly having become the utility of choice for surfers worldwide. The Android version has been solid from the get-go, and with the recent introduction of the iOS iteration, the Big G finally brought its famed browser to the iPhone and iPad. Despite Apple's restrictions on developers bringing their own engines to the iOS fold, the engine certainly isn't the end-all, be-all, and today's updates for Chrome on iOS today prove that point once more.
Last year, the release of 500px took the iPad world by storm. Prior to its release, there had been a distinct lack of photography apps suited to the Cupertino tablet, with devs preferring to cater to the iPhone. But 500px reminded us that a well-polished app for iPad can wind up being just as much of a hit with iOS users, and so it has proved. Now, the app popularized by the iPad has been wonderfully reworked for the iPhone, and is now ready and waiting for you at the App Store.
It was just a few short days ago that we told you about former Black Eyed Peas frontman and general music legend Will.i.am's maiden entry into the murky world of iPhone accessories. Dubbed i.am+ (rolls right off the tongue?) and available only via Selfridges in London, the range includes two varieties of the same case that promises to help iPhone photographers take better pictures. We've heard that before though, haven't we?
