Finding success in the App Store has become incredibly difficult (http://www.techspot.com/news/59607-finding-success-app-store-has-become-incredibly-difficult.html)

The amount of money being pumped into the mobile app economy (http://www.techspot.com/news/59491-app-industry-now-generates-more-revenue-than-hollywood.html) is absolutely ridiculous. For the lucky few that have what it takes to get prominently featured in the charts, the payout is well worth the investment of time and money.Unfortunately, those that actually make any significant money from apps are few and far between according to a new report (https://www.adjust.com/assets/downloads/the-undead-app-store.pdf) from app analytics firm Adjust.
Let’s take Apple’s App Store for example. Of the 1.42 million apps that now fill the store, the overwhelming majority of them – 83 percent, to be exact – are deemed as zombie apps. By definition, zombie apps are those that aren’t popular enough to appear in “top” lists for more than two-thirds of a measured timeframe and are therefore lost in the crowd.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-02-image-4.jpg
The only way to find a zombie app is to specifically search for it by name.
Unlike traditional marketing that’s fueled by advertising, most apps that hit the big time do so organically. They get on a top list early on and are downloaded by a few people who tell their friends, share on social media, etc.
Zombie apps are a serious concern in the App Store as the number of them nearly doubled last year, from 657,000 at the beginning of the year to 1.1 million by December. Add in the fact that the App Store itself grew by 54.3 percent during 2014 and you can immediately see how difficult it has become to break into the market with the hope of any meaningful success.

Apple Grants Pinterest Ability To Discover And Directly Install iOS Apps

Want to try out a new recipe? Head over to Pinterest (http://hothardware.com/tags/pinterest). Need some fashion tips? Once gain, take a look at Pinterest. Are you looking to install more iOS (http://hothardware.com/tags/ios) apps on your mobile device? You guessed it -- stroll on over to Pinterest, where you can now install iOS apps onto your iPhone (http://hothardware.com/tags/iphone) or iPad (http://hothardware.com/tags/ipad) device. Appropriately enough, they're called "app pins."

"Let’s say you’re Pinning workout inspiration to your Marathon Training board. If you see a fitness app that helps you reach your goals, you can download it right from Pinterest," Pinterest explained today in a blog post.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32627/content/Pinterest_App_Store.jpg

It's an interesting pairing, and one that makes sense when you think about it. This could introduce users to themed apps in their interest areas that they never new existed, especially since the App Store is filled with over 1.4 million apps. It's also convenient, in that you don't need to hop over to the App Store to install an app you discovered on one of your boards.

"When you come across an app Pin, tap Install to download the app right to your iPhone or iPad without ever leaving Pinterest (you’ll only see app Pins when you’re using the Pinterest app on your iPhone or iPad)," Pinterest added.

To help kick things off, Apple opened an official App Store account (https://www.pinterest.com/appstore/) on Pinterest. It currently consists of five boards -- Fashion Apps, App Store at Fashion Week, People + Apps, Healthy Recipes, and Editors' Choice -- with 34 pins.

App Store gets the new Pay Once & Play category Apple announces

As of today App Store users can expect to find a new category for games labeled “Pay Once & Play”, the games sold in said category will not include any form of in-app purchases or micro transactions, Apple announced today.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/pay-once-635x806.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/pay-once.png)
No pesky in-app purchases in this App Store category! Pay Once & Play will feature releases in the App Store, that do not require you to pay any additional fees to progress through the game, It’s as if someone thought: “Hey let’s actually have a place where consumers can get a game that’s actually a game, where you play the game without having the option to purchase stuff to beat the artificially-made harder levels.”

“Enjoy hours of uninterrupted fun with complete experiences spanning the App Store’s most beloved genres, Packed with thrills and unforgettable moments, these powerhouse games belong in every collection.”

Just last year Apple made a similar change (http://www.polygon.com/2014/11/19/7250663/apple-drops-free-from-free-to-play-games-app-store) to the App Store, where they removed the word “FREE” from the installation button of any games and apps that were free-to-play and free-to-download, but also included in-app purchases. Nowadays it say “get” instead of “free” for these kind of games and apps. As well as having a disclaimer stating “offers in-app purchases”. Both of these changes most likely came due to the pressure from regulators such as the Federal Trade Commission, that have been pushing companies like Apple, Google and amazon to change their guidelines of how they promote free-to-play games with in-app purchases.
Last year Apple and Google had to pay several millions of dollars just to deal with complaints from the Federal Trade Commission over in-app purchases. As well as lawsuits from parents who probably were not so happy about ‘Little Timmy’ spending 6.000$ on virtual nonsense, with the tap of a button. Obviously as a parent, some of it is your own fault, if you allow your child to use a device which is configured with your credit-card information bad stuff can happen.
Overall I think in-app purchases are pretty bad, at least 50% of the time, a game will be made in a way, so that after a few levels the games difficulty is artificially increased to the point where you pretty much NEED to buy something for real money. It might also be that the game is created with gigantic time-walls much like the atrocity that is *cough* Dungeon Keeper Mobile *cough* which EA-games tried to get away with.

Apple is forcing game developers to edit depictions of guns in promotional screenshots

Apple has reportedly been turning away some mobile games from its iOS App Store because they display guns or violence in their promotional screenshots.
Pocket Gamer (http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPad/Tempo/news.asp?c=63862) was first to break the news as multiple developers told the site that their games and updates were being rejected because they displayed what is apparently inappropriate material. Developer Splash Damage, for example, had to blur out the guns in their promotional screenshots for Tempo in order to get approval.

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-12-image-28.jpg You can see more of their blurred shots by clicking here (https://itunes.apple.com/app/tempo/id696701152).
When releasing an update for Gunslugs II (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gunslugs-2/id947032519?mt=8) on January 16, developer OrangePixel also ran into issues. In an e-mail from one of the developers to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/apple-is-rejecting-games-for-having-images-of-guns-1685507628), they said one of their screenshots (which had previous been approved during the game’s original release) was rejected because of violence.

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-12-image-29.png Team Chaos, the crew behind Rooster Teeth vs. Zombiens (https://itunes.apple.com/app/rooster-teeth-vs.-zombiens/id932941157), said they had to remove the NES Zapper gun from their original icon. It was replaced with what appears to be a baseball bat.
Another developer responsible for a pair of high-profile shooter games who asked to remain anonymous said they were also forced to remove guns in their screenshots.

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-12-image-30.jpg It is one thing if Apple wants to change its policy but it’s quite another to not do so universally. A game called Gang Nations (https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/gang-nations/id885405524?mt=8) shows cartoon-style characters holding all sorts of weapons in its screenshots while the updated version of Bullet Rush (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id786888199) somehow manages to get away with showing sniper rifles.

Apple Pay To Become Accepted Payment Method For Federal Services

http://media.bestofmicro.com/F/L/452865/gallery/IMG_0160-1-_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/IMG_0160-1-,0101-452865-0-2-12-1-png-.html)
Speaking at the White House summit on cybersecurity, Tim Cook announced that starting this September, iPhone users will be able to pay for federal services using Apple Pay (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-pay-1-million-transactions,27971.html). Initially, those services will include admission to national parks and other similar services. Later, the company intends to make Apple Pay work with more security-sensitive services such as social security services and veterans' pensions.

“We're excited to announce that beginning in September, Apple Pay will be available for many transactions with the Federal Government, like for example when you pay for admission to your favorite national park," Cook said at the Stanford event.
“We're also working to make sure credit and procurement cards issued to government employees for their expenses can be used with Apple Pay, and we're working on initiatives with leading banks and networks to use this technology with benefits programs like social security and veteran's pensions that serve citizens at both the state and federal level."
Tim Cook also said that Apple is working with the U.S. government on making things such as driver licenses and passports digital, while still preserving the kind of strong privacy Apple Pay users get right now.
Apple Pay is the most privacy-oriented payment method out there because it uses unique tokens for each payment instead of the credit card number, which means merchants can't track multiple purchases from the same customer.
Touch ID is also one of the most secure identification methods in the world right now, while still being very easy to use. One thing Apple has done differently than other fingerprint-based solutions is that it doesn't store the fingerprint data on the device. Instead, a hash of the fingerprint data is created, and that is what's stored in a hardware-based "Secure Enclave." By using this method, Apple ensures that the fingerprint data can't be stolen from the device, even if the Secure Enclave is hacked.
Although having Apple create such a strong relationship with the government for federal services may end up marginalizing Android users for some time, it's probably better for everyone in the long term that it's Apple setting these strong security and privacy standards. If there was any other company, those standards could be much lower.
Apple may get a head start in adoption for federal services, but it's not going to monopolize digital identification for federal services. Sooner or later, the government will have to allow competitors to integrate with the government's systems, too, but by then they'll all have to embrace the high security standards Apple has paved before them.

Apple doubles the maximum allowed size of iOS apps, 16GB of storage suddenly much less appealing

Apple has increased the maximum size of apps in the App Store. Developers can now upload binaries (app packages) as large as 4GB through iTunes Connect, up from the 2GB limit that has been in place since the App Store debuted in 2008.
In a brief notice regarding the change, Apple said (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=02122015a) this will allow developers to include more media in their submissions and provide a more complete, rich user experience upon installation.
It’s worth pointing out that this change doesn’t impact the size threshold that an app must stay under in order to be downloadable via cellular network which remains at 100MB. After all, nobody wants to burn up an entire month of data or more just to download a single app.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-13-image-3.jpg
For consumers, this simply means that those smaller capacity devices with 8GB and 16GB of storage are suddenly much less appealing.
I’m about as far from the stereotypical mobile user / geek as one can get while still loving technology. I don’t play mobile games (or really, any games at all these days), I no longer bother with social networking and I have zero interest in Star Wars / Lord of the Rings / Star Trek or any other fictional sci-fi classics.
Yet I noticed with my last phone that 16GB of storage was no longer sufficient. Between the various apps I do use (productivity, entertainment, IoT stuff), I often ran out of space and was forced to delete content if I wanted to snap a quick photo or video.
Even with the advent of cloud storage, we’re quickly approaching the point of where 32GB will be the new entry-level configuration.

Candy Crush Saga Players Spent $1.3 Billion on In-App Purchases Last Year

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-13-at-18.26.31-e1423852012306.jpg
Candy Crush Saga is one of the most popular and at the same time one of the most hated mobile games available. It’s insanely popular because a lot of people find it addictive, but many hate it because of how it is completely laden with annoying and perhaps somewhat overpriced in-app purchases.
Despite the hate, it appears that the popularity is still paying off, as according to The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/feb/13/candy-crush-saga-players-855m-2014), Candy Crush Saga players spent over $1.3 billion in 2014. It’s also the third-highest grossing app in the United States and represented 45% of spending on its developer’s games during the final quarter of 2014.
Although these numbers are big, they are actually in decline as Candy Crush Saga has seemingly hit its peak in popularity. However, that’s not to mean the end of Candy Crush altogether – King’s games had 356 million monthly unique users last year, with sequel Candy Crush Soda Saga (http://appshopper.com/games/candy-crush-soda-saga) climbing the App Store charts at 6th overall.

Microsoft Brings Native Integration Of iCloud And Box Cloud Storage To iOS Office Apps
Under CEO Satya Nadella, Microsoft (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) has shown a surprising amount of “love” for its competitors. It has provided high-functioning Office (http://hothardware.com/tags/office) apps to iOS and Android (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-announces-availability-of-office-suite-for-android) users well ahead of solutions (http://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-joe-belfiore-reassures-users-that-office-team-has-not-forgotten-windows-phone) for its own Windows Phone (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-phone) platform. It has even partnered with Dropbox (http://hothardware.com/news/Microsoft-And-Dropbox-Strike-Strategic-Deal-For-Office-365-And-Cloud-Sync-Storage), which goes head-to-head with Microsoft’s own OneDrive online cloud storage solution.

Today, Microsoft has even more love to share, as it is taking steps to offer more robust cloud storage integration into its Office apps. That starts today with the addition of updated iOS (http://hothardware.com/tags/ios) Office apps that allow users to “open, edit and save documents from these [third-party cloud storage providers] right from within Office.”

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32675/content/officeiOS.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32675/content/officeiOS.jpg

That means that iOS users can use their existing iCloud storage accounts in addition to Box and the aforementioned Dropbox (http://hothardware.com/tags/dropbox). It's possible that we could even see Google Drive integration along with other storage services in the future, but these service providers will need to work with Microsoft to enable this functionality, which is made even easier by joining the new Cloud Storage Partner Program (http://dev.office.com/programs/officecloudstorage).

While Apple users always seems to be the first to receive the latest Office enhancements, Microsoft states that its third-party cloud storage support will be extended to its Android apps and Windows 10 in the near future. And support will also be extended to web version of Office: Office Online.

“Today’s announcements are just one more step on our continuing journey to open up Office in new ways for our customers and partners,” said Kirk Koenigsbauer, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Office 365 Client Applications.

“Living in a cloud-first, mobile-first world is all about having the flexibility to get things done from anywhere and on any device. And these exciting, new features will make it easier than ever to use Office with virtually any combination of apps, platforms and cloud storage services.”

The World Ends With You pulled from iOS

http://images.bit-tech.net/news_images/2015/02/the-world-ends-with-you-pulled-from-ios/article_img.jpg

Quirky JRPG The World Ends With You has been pulled from the Apple app store by Square Enix after the developer has failed to deploy a suitable update for the game.

The World Ends With You: Solo Remix has been non-functional on iPad and iPhone devices since the launch of September's iOS 8 update. Previously, Square Enix had issued a warning on the app store saying that it is currently not functional and that the developer was working on a solution, but now Square Enix has simply pulled the game from the store.

Not only is the iOS version not available to buy, but re-downloading it if you have already bought it is no longer an option too.

Talking to Polygon (http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/19/8073003/the-world-ends-with-you-ios-8), Square Enix stated that the incompatibility with iOS 8 is a much bigger problem than it initially assumed. The publisher is apparently still working on a solution for the game, but cannot commit to a specific timeline as yet.

The mobile version of The World Ends With You was launched in 2012 on iOS and Android devices in 2014. This version followed Square Enix's usual pricing strategy on mobile devices and sat around the £14.99 mark.

The game is a port of a Nintendo DS title released in 2007 that was met with a general positive critical reception and proved to be commercially successful. Worldwide, the game sold more than 350,000 copies.

Astropad transforms your iPad into a true graphics tablet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ouwCHT3rGRY

A pair of former Apple engineers has released an app that more or less transforms your iPad into a graphics tablet. It’s called Astropad (http://astropad.com/) and it could replace the need for something like a Wacom tablet, assuming of course you have an iPad and a Mac.
Astropad is based on a proprietary technology called Liquid which is key because it reduces latency to just 12ms and allows for 60 frames per second mirroring.
To use Astropad, you’ll need the app for your iPad (iOS 8 only) and Mac (Mavericks or later). When launched together, the iPad will mirror exactly what’s on the Mac screen using either Wi-Fi or USB connectivity. While you can use the app with virtually any service on your Mac, the most obvious / productive use scenario would be with a program like Photoshop.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-02-20-image-4.jpg
Astropad works with multiple pressure-sensitive pens and best yet, the app color-corrects to match what you see on the Mac. It even uses ARM assembly code for the most efficient use of battery life should you be away from a power source.
The app is available as of writing at a price of $49.99, or $19.99 for academic users. That may sound like a lot of scratch but if you’re an artist that frequently transfers work from one device to the other, this could be a worthwhile investment.

Presto has launched on Android and iOS

How much time to you spend being entertained by your phone? Presto has joined Stan and Quickflix, fighting for your eyes by providing another video streaming subscription option in Australia.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/3/43700_029_presto-launched-android-ios.jpg

With Netflix said to launch (http://www.news.com.au/technology/presto-launches-on-apple-and-android-smartphones/story-e6frfrnr-1227234350217) in 'The Land Down Under' next month, Citrix Mobile Analytics claims that "the mobile user experience is, increasingly, a video experience," which would explain the sudden surge in openings.

Compatible with iPhone 5S, 5S and higher Apple models, Android users will see multiple devices supported across Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony and ZTE. Access can be granted through the Presto app on either the Apple App Store, Google Play or the Samsung App Store.

As we've written previously (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/41735/aussie-companies-foxtel-channel-seven-fighting-netflix/index.html), Presto is a project by Foxtel and Seven West Media in order to take control of this emerging scene.

YouTube Kids Vaults Onto Google Play And iOS App Stores
News broke last week (http://hothardware.com/news/youtube-to-release-kid-friendly-video-app-with-parental-controls-on-monday) that YouTube (http://hothardware.com/tags/youtube) was going to follow in the footsteps of Netflix (http://hothardware.com/tags/netflix) and offer a family-friendly version of its streaming service for kids, and the report turned out to be true. The YouTube Kids app is now available to download from Google Play and Apple's App Store, the two most popular mobile platforms in the world.

"Today, we’re introducing the YouTube Kids app, the first Google product built from the ground up with little ones in mind. The app makes it safer and easier for children to find videos on topics they want to explore, and is available for free on and the in the U.S.," YouTube stated in a blog post.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/32741/content/YouTube_Kids.jpg

The YouTube Kids app filters out content that isn't appropriate for kids, letting mom and pop rest easy knowing that little Suzie won't be traumatized by Old Gregg when she picks up the iPad. What's left is broken down into browsable channels and playlists in four categories: Shows, Music, Learning, and Explore.

Alternately, little Suzie or her brother Billy can search for videos that interest them. Maybe Billy needs some help with math and looks up tutorials on the subject, while Suzie wants to see what Thomas the Tank Engine is up to. Both will be able to find what they're looking for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OUmMAAPX6E8

YouTube baked in some basic parental controls that allow mom and pop to set a timer, adjust the sound settings, limited searches to pre-selected videos (or turn it off altogether), and to provide feedback on how to improve the experience.

No word on whether YouTube Kids will find its way to Windows Phone / Windows 10. For now, you can find it here for Android (http://https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.youtube.kids) and here for iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/youtubekids/id936971630?mt=8).

Apple updates emoji's to express racial sensitivity

Released as part of the developer preview, Apple's next update will include a wide range of emoji's with various skin tones -helping express Apple's sensitivity to racial diversity.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/3/43719_037_apple-updates-emojis-express-racial-sensitivity.jpg

Instead of white-only options being available, you can now select out of six skin tones what you wish your emoji face or hand to display. There are also numerous updates to sexual-preference, including families with children and couples of same-sex, rather than the previous male-and-female only.

There's a few other updates including new gadgets like the Apple Watch and also an Australian flag thrown into the mix - all set for release in the next few months.

Apple Developing Algorithm System To Speed Up Genius Bar Wait Times

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/retail_learn_workshop_basics.jpg
The quality (and the subsequent price) of Apple products means that it’s not that often that owners find themselves needing service. But when they do, the first place most turn to is the Genius Bar, at their local Apple Store. But, as the hilarious Genius Bar Tales (https://twitter.com/GeniusBarTales) Twitter account informs us, it can get quite busy with people asking stupid questions. So if you have a genuine issue, and want to get an appointment in-between all of the teenagers asking why Instagram isn’t working on their iPhone, it can mean quite a wait.
Well, Apple apparently has a solution to that. The ever reliable 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/02/23/apple-to-overhaul-genius-bar-changing-appointments-and-using-phones-as-pagers/) reports that the company is developing a new system that will allow people to just turn up to the Apple Store with their issue. They say that a new algorithm system will mean that a customer can simply inform any staff member of their issue and they’ll immediately be given an estimate of how long they have to wait.
The staff members will input the customer’s issue into a custom iPhone, and then a special app will strategically place the customer in a queue based on their complaint. If it’s a simple problem, like being unable to sign into iCloud, they’ll go straight to the front of the queue as it can be fixed and got out-of-the-way quickly. If it’s a complex issue, like a MacBook with a blinking display, they’ll be pushed further down the queue as so more time can be allocated to them. Following this, customers will then receive three text messages – one informing them of the wait time, another telling them to head back to the store, and a third informing them that the ‘Genius’ is ready and waiting.
As Apple apparently deems most Genius Bar visits to be minor and quick to fix issues, the notion of putting those appointments first makes sense.

Apple Opens Up iWork Web Apps To People Without Apple Devices for Free

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Screen-Shot-2015-02-27-at-13.34.11-e1425044077251.jpg
Apple has just made it possible for anyone, even those who don’t own an Apple product, to access iCloud web apps. Previously, only those who owned an iOS device or Mac could use the online versions of Apple’s productivity apps including Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
From today, anyone can go to iCloud.com (http://iCloud.com) and access Apple’s apps in a similar fashion to Google Docs or Microsoft Office. The big difference though, is that Apple does not directly monetise the service. There are no ads or subscriptions and the apps can be used in Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer or Firefox for free. However, free users only get 1GB of storage, while users of a Mac or iOS device get 5 GB of storage. Owners of Apple devices can pay for more.
The move is seen as significant, with Apple deciding to put themselves directly in competition with such services from Google and Microsoft. Whether they will pose any threat to those services remains to be seen.

Signal iOS app keeps your data secure from prying eyes (http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/security-software/jon-martindale/signal-ios-app-keeps-your-data-secure-from-prying-eyes/)

With continued reveals of more government spying no matter where you are in the world (http://goo.gl/HESMBe), many organisations have been clamouring for software that makes our communications so obfuscated through encryption and other measures, that it becomes a waste of time to try and decipher even the most banal conversations. One such application is Signal, which released a new version on iOS this week, effectively encrypting both voice calls and text messages for Apple hardware users.
Although there are other options for those wanting to secretively communicate with one another, as TechCrunch (http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/05/signal-keeps-your-iphone-calls-and-texts-safe-from-government-spies/) points out, Signal is one of the few apps that’s given the thumbs up by the American Civil Liberties Union and also hits every mark on the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s chart of message safety (https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard). That means that not only are messages encrypted in transit, but they are also encrypted so the provider can’t read them and the code is regularly checked by outside sources to confirm that it’s secure.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/whisperr.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/whisperr.jpg)
One of the biggest selling points of Signal though is that it’s made by a non-profit collective called Riddle Quiet Ventures, otherwise known as WhisperSystems (https://whispersystems.org/about/), which is a team of developers that works with a collaborative group of open source proponents to develop privacy enhancing software, some of which was recently incorporated into WhatsApp’s code. Signal is just one piece of the puzzle it’s building.
“Together, we’re working to advance the state of the art for secure communication, while simultaneously making it easy for everyone to use,” reads the group’s site.
Currently Signal is only available on the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/signal-private-messenger/id874139669?mt=8), but it has Red Phone and TextSecure counterparts on Android which perform the same function. There are also plans to bring Signal to Android in the future, unifying the two additional applications.

Apple Store Down Ahead of Watch Event

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/apple_watch-800x450.jpg
There are just a few hours until the Apple Watch event starts and the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/) is down in anticipation. At 5 PM GMT today, Apple will show off the new Apple Watch during the launch event and the store has been taken down to add and prepare for the new products without risking leaked information ahead of schedule.
http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Apple-Store.jpg
Rumours also point towards the launch of an updated MacBook Air as well as new Beats headphones at the event, but there is no doubt that the Apple Watch will be the show stealer.

iOS 8 Is Not Vulnerable To Viruses – Apple Removes Antivirus Apps From App Store

According to Apple, Antivirus applications on the App Store are giving a negative impression to users for iOS 8.2 vulnerability to malware attack. Hence, Apple decided to remove all third party virus hunting applications, coded to prevent potential damage from its App Store.
http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/virus-barrier-ios.jpg (http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/virus-barrier-ios.jpg)
It seems the Cupertino giant wants to free its App Store from any antivirus applications and hence made them redundant. VirusBarrier developer, Intego ststaed that Apple removed its application from the App Store because it had a misleading and unclear description. Another attempt with refreshed description was uploaded which was turned down by Apple again.
iOS 8 Has No Vulnerable Elements To Be Exploited And Flawed Apple has always had dilemmas with antivirus developing companies as Intego exclaimed that the same issue was raised with other companies as well, which aimed to provide virus-free solutions to the App Store. The chance that iOS 8 could be vulnerable to exploitable flaws is highly neglected by Apple and it has full control over the operating system.

Whatever Apple’s excuses or requirements may be for its antivirus program, VirusBarrier had no or very little to do with the iOS 8 operating system as a whole. Intego’s VirusBarrier was one such application that scanned cloud files and emails for any sort of threat and not the iOS 8 handling system. So the VirusBarrier application was useful for users who knew what it was intended for. Can this be that Apple had its own reasons to void the app from the App Store? However, users who already have the hold on VirusBarrier app, will continue to receive new features and updates by the passage of time. As long as the application resides in your iOS 8 device you are safe to receive them. However, restoring your iPhone to factory settings or deleting the application would enable you to forgo it forever.

Concerning safety of your iOS 8 device, there have been no reports from non-jailbroken devices to be affected by any kind of virus or malicious bug in the software if users stick to the App Store to download applications and not the third party sources. This case put its results in favor of Apple’s notion to deny any vulnerable elements in the iOS 8 software. Do keep in mind that viral applications like Masque Attack, Xagent and WireLurker have been discovered a few months back that may have a tendency to affect your iOS device so one can always be careful when handling critical data. The best safety technique to avoid any virus revelation will be to not opting for applications offered by third party developers. That’s all for now folks. Let us know in the comments if you have an infected iOS device that may cause distortion.

Revenue gap between iOS and Android apps is still growing

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/header/2014-10-25.jpgTraditionally, iOS apps have drawn more revenue than Android apps, but with Android’s sizable lead in global market share you’d think the gap was getting narrower. According to the latest data obtained by App Annie, it’s quite the opposite. In the first quarter of 2015, global revenue for the iOS app store was 70% higher (http://investcorrectly.com/20150415/apple-inc-ios-app-store-global-revenue-grew-70-higher-google-incs-google-play-due-china/) than revenue from Google Play, up from 60% in Q3 2014.
The gain is attributed in large part to strong iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sales in China, where demand for larger screens is particularly high. In fact, Apple devices accounted for 25% of all the smartphones sold in urban China during Q1 2015. Shipments of smartphones with screen sizes between 5 and 7 inches constituted roughly 60 percent of total smartphone shipments in the country.
App Annie notes that China surpassed the U.S. in quarterly iOS downloads in the first quarter of 2015 for the first time since it has been measuring per country downloads. This climb to the top was primarily driven by games and photo/video apps. Popular apps during the quarter include an app called Pitu which offers “beauty, make-up and cosplay filters”, as well as apps like IN and Fotoplace.
Despite coming out on top in terms of downloads, when it comes to overall iOS App Store revenue, China took the third spot after the U.S. and Japan.
Meanwhile, although it lost revenue to iOS, Google Play still registered a 70% uptick in downloads between the third quarter 2014 and first quarter 2015 thanks to its growing market penetration in Brazil, Mexico and Turkey.

1,500 iOS Apps Prone to Man-in-the-Middle Attacks Due to HTTPS-Crippling Bug

Some 1,500 iOS apps are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks enabling attackers to intercept encrypted passwords, bank account details and other such sensitive information. This vulnerability (http://wccftech.com/smartphone-to-smartwatch-communication-prone-to-hack/) cripples the security of HTTPS meaning that any information sent from an iPhone or an iPad including the login data could be intercepted using the HTTPS protocol.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/afnetworking-bug-640x306-635x304.png (http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/afnetworking-bug-640x306.png)
AFNetworking code error enables MITM attacks on iOS apps:

According to the latest revelation by an analytics company SourceDNA, some two million people are at risk who have installed the vulnerable apps. These apps include some major names like Alibaba.com mobile app, Movies by Flixster with Rotten Tomatoes, and Citrix OpenVoice Audio Conferencing.
The vulberability (http://wccftech.com/alibaba-security-vulnerability/) comes from an older verson of the AFnetworking open-source code library that allows developer to drop networking capabilities into their apps or simply put, handle the connection to the server.

The issue occurs even when the mobile application requests the library to apply checks for server validation in SSL certificates. We tested the app [AFNetworking 2.5.1] on a real device and, unexpectedly, we found that all the SSL traffic could be regularly intercepted through a proxy like Burp without any intervention!
This bug cripples HTTPS and through MitM attacks decrypts HTTPS-encrypted data. Hacker (http://wccftech.com/fbi-isis-wordpress-warning/) intended to explout the bug can initiate a man-in-the-middle attack using a fake WiFi hotspot to intercept data. While this shouldn’t work normally with secure connections because fradulent credential would be detected as a counterfiet dropping the coonection, it is possible in this case because of the bug in the code rendering the apps unable to check the security (http://wccftech.com/paypal-hack-vulnerabilities/) certificate.
The report reveals that although AFNetworking has fixed the flaw three weeks ago with the latest version 2.5.2, the bug still infects some 1,500 iOS apps on the earlier 2.5.1 version introduced in January.
To be on the safe side and confirm if you are using any of the 1,500 infected apps, use the search tool developed by SourceDNA (http://searchlight.sourcedna.com/lookup).

YouTube App Support To End On Older iOS, Apple TV Devices

Google’s YouTube app is the gateway to the world’s largest collection of digital videos, and is used by billions worldwide on a regular basis. On iOS, the native YouTube app that used to grace the platform has since been replaced by an App Store-based offering from Google, and while many were quick to protest this decision around the time of iOS 6, it still works as advertised despite its lack of nativeness. With API v3 now coming into effect, older YouTube apps based on API v2 will soon find the rug pulled from beneath them, and anybody using a YouTube app on iOS 6 and earlier will instead have to run with the web app.
http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/371_youtube.jpg (http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/371_youtube.jpg)
The change, which commences from next month, will not only affect iPhones, iPads and iPod touches on iOS 6 or earlier, but older models of Apple TV. In fact, any app developed for YouTube that doesn’t include API v3 support will stop functioning very soon, but since the web app is fairly capable these days, this won’t be a disaster for most users.
The most recent, 1080p Apple TV will emerged unscathed from the changes, since it’s based upon API v3, but the second-gen model will be stuck without a working YouTube app. But if you do own an Apple TV — an older one, that is — and would like to continue getting your YouTube fix, there are one or two obvious solutions.

You could, for example, use your newer iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to beam content to your Apple TV through AirPlay, which is slightly less convenient but no great hardship if you’re a dedicated user. In fact, if you’ve tried navigating YouTube using only Apple’s near-useless official Apple TV remote, you’ll find that it’s quite inconvenient, and in pushing YouTube through your iOS device and over AirPlay, you will realize what you’ve been missing all this time.
Alternatively, you could also grab a Chromecast, which, since it’s produced by Google, will continue to support YouTube for years to come, and at around $30 / £30, it’s a good investment for those who’d like to Smart-ify their television on the cheap.
So, if you’re a big YouTuber, and aren’t running iOS 7 and up, begin to familiarize yourself with the web app that can be found over at m.youtube.com. If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is capable of running a newer version above iOS 7, then now would be the time to think about updating, although as we mentioned earlier, the web service is none too shabby, and you can just as easily continue using as normal via your browser.
Will you miss the old YouTube app when it finally kicks the bucket? We’d appreciate your comment, so do please leave your thoughts with us below.

WhatsApp Calling Finally Arrives For iOS

Android-using WhatsApp users have been able to take advantage of the newish voice-calling feature for a while now, and after a substantial delay, those on iPhone can now get involved. WhatsApp Messenger version 2.12.1 includes voice call support as standard, although unfortunately, you may still have to wait a while for it to reach you.
http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Whatsapp-voice-calling1.jpg (http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Whatsapp-voice-calling1.jpg)
According to the changelog for the updated WhatsApp, “WhatsApp Calling is rolling out slowly over the next several weeks,” so even though you’ll have an app that has been primed and ready to make peer-to-peer voice calls, you may not see it until WhatsApp activates it for your device. This is a bit of a disappointment, but a more organized, regimented release will ease the burden on the servers and hopefully, improve the experience for all.
Since being taken over by Facebook, WhatsApp has seen quite a few changes and improvements. Only recently, a WhatsApp Web brought the instant messenger to the desktop browser, but while it has promise, it’s very much a work-in-progress for now. We’d like to think that the Web app will improve with time, and be afforded many of the features that are clearly missing, but for a first run, it’s functional.

The same should be said, at this point, of WhatsApp Calling. Having tested it out a few times on Android, even with strong signal on both sides, I have been hit by poor reception, and more than once, been forced to revert to traditional cellular phone calls in order to hold a conversation. Given that WhatsApp Calling is still very, very new, we certainly shouldn’t go expecting complete clarity, but once the dust settles and WhatsApp users grow familiar with the feature, one would hope that improvements will be made to overall usability.
So, if you try and call somebody on iOS after they’ve updated, they may still be waiting for the official green light from WhatsApp’s server side, and therefore, you may be met with a message that “[name] needs to update the app to receive WhatsApp calls.” This is appears to be the universal pop-up that appears whenever somebody tries to call a device that hasn’t been readied for calls, but in weeks to come, most folks on iOS and Android should be able to make calls without too many issues.
Calls are completely free of charge, which is very good news, but data usage rates do apply, so take care not to exceed your limits. If you can find a decent free Wi-Fi hotspot, though, then you’re good to go, and should be able to call without limitation provided those niggling signal / reception issues don’t come into play.
You can download WhatsApp Messenger 2.12.1 from the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997).

Apple bans iWatches from telling the time

http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/f6258551cda633ee080be18c35953a12_L.jpg (http://www.fudzilla.com/media/k2/items/cache/f6258551cda633ee080be18c35953a12_XL.jpg)

Apple mean time only
Fruity Cargo cult Apple believes that only it has the right to tell its users the time of day. Apple has updated its App Store Review Guidelines to prevent developers from creating Apple Watch apps that display the time.

According to the newly added 10.7 rule under "User interface," Watch Apps that have a "primary function" of telling the time will be rejected.
According to MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/28/app-store-review-guidelines-time-telling-apps/)one developer who had his app rejected from the App Store due to the time telling rule, used a clock-like face to display sunset/sunrise times along with the position of the sun and the moon.
The developer was told by Apple that Apple Watch apps containing a clock face, the likeness of a clock, or time-telling functionality would be rejected, and the Apple employee he spoke with mentioned that quite a few developers had been rejected due to the policy.
Apple Mean Time Apple believes that only it should decide what the watch face should look like. It said that it is flogging the Apple Watch as an "incredibly accurate" timepiece, a claim that it might not be able to guarantee if a third-party time-telling app is allowed to display the time.
However there is a problem with this claim. Apple has consistently failed to write code (http://mashable.com/2014/03/09/apple-ios-7-still-plagued-by-daylight-savings-time-bug/) which can handle changes in summer time and has occasionally sent Apple fanboys to work an hour late or early. We would have thought it far better to outsource the writing of such code to those who can actually do it.

Dropbox App for iOS Bringing Microsoft Office File Creation

The official Dropbox app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad has just been updated, adding a comment feature for collaborative users. The real news, however, is what’s coming up next, with the company having also announced big plans for subsequent updates, most notably the introduction of Microsoft Office document creation from right inside the app.
http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dropbox_larger.png (http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dropbox_larger.png)
The cloud computing space is saturated right now, but while Apple, Google and Microsoft have all thrown weight behind their respective services, Dropbox is one of the field’s originators. The company capitalized on the need for versatile, reliable storage and backup solutions, which could also make it easier for consumers to share content and collaborate, and version 3.9 for iOS continues in this vein.
The Web version of Dropbox was recently graced with a commenting feature, permitting users to discuss files with one another and catch the attention of others with @mentions. After spending the past couple of weeks refining the experience, it’s now ready to roll out for iOS users, so if a collaborative working environment is essential to you, then snag this update as soon as possible.
http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dropbox-iphone.jpeg (http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dropbox-iphone.jpeg)

Although we talk about Dropbox’s longevity in the cloud-computing game, it’s Google who has really pushed forth the idea of collaborative workflow through gApps, but the recent changes and improvements Dropbox has made suggest that it’s able and willing to compete with the search company in every aspect.
The update to Dropbox for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad also includes a brand-new Recents tab, making it very easy for you to view your recent activity in a quick-reference fashion. There’s also 1Password login extension support, which is particularly useful from a security aspect, and regardless of whether you’re dealing with sensitive information or not, we’d recommend everybody utilize the encryption and digital bolt-lock nature of 1Password.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dropbox-ipad.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/dropbox-ipad.jpeg)
As seen with almost every software update, there are also bug fixes and performance adjustments with the new Dropbox for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, but while this is more than worth the download, we can’t help but look ahead to what’s next. The Dropbox team will be bringing Microsoft Office document creation natively to the app in the near future, and this would seem a significant enough addition to warrant the jump to version 4.0.
As noted in an official statement on the Dropbox website, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files created will be stored in whichever folder is being accessed when the ‘Create Document’ button is pushed, and while there’s no precise time frame for this exciting feature, Dropbox’s estimate that it will appear “in the next few weeks” has us hoping that it’ll make the cut before the month’s end.

Apple announces 100 billion downloads from App Store

25 billion downloads in last 12 months
During its WWDC 2015 event, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has announced that Apple's App Store has reached a 100 billion apps downloads.

This is quite an impressive number considering that App Store launched back in mid-2008 and it needed almost four years to reach 25 billion downloads. Currently, App Store has over 1.5 million apps and it does not come as a big surprise that it managed to reach 100 billion downloads, with over 25 billion downloads in last 12 months. Many have criticized Apple for its App Store and while Google Play Store has reached 1.5 million apps earlier this year, it is those 1.5 million from Apple that matter and brought Apple to that 100 billion downloads number.

Adobe Photoshop Mix, Brush CC, Color CC and Shape CC apps arrive for Android and iOS

Up to this point, Adobe has largely favored iOS over Google’s Android operating system with reference to its photo editing tools. That has all since changed as Adobe recently released four Creative Cloud apps (http://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/catalog/mobile.html) to the Google Play store: Photoshop Mix, Brush CC, Color CC and Shape CC.
Photoshop Mix (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.photoshopmix&hl=en) is Adobe’s general workhorse that replaces Photoshop Touch. With it, Android smartphone and tablet users will be able to perform basic non-destructive editing tasks like combining images, changing colors and contrast levels, apply preset filters and more.

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-06-15-image-12.jpg Brush CC (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.creativeapps.brush) allows both beginners and professional users to turn their photos or graphics into brushes that can be used in Photoshop CC or Illustrator CC. Adobe Color CC (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.creativeapps.colorapp), predictably, lets app users create color palettes by sampling colors in a scene for use in desktop apps like Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. Shape CC (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.creativeapps.shape) converts images into vector graphics for Photoshop CC or Illustrator CC.
The apps are also available on iOS where you’ll find them free of charge (ditto for the Google Play store). And for those interested, Adobe also released Hue CC (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-hue-cc/id988496564?mt=8) and Preview CC (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-preview-cc/id973272286?mt=8) for iOS.
The apps are part of Adobe’s revised approach to mobile. Instead of trying to cram everything into a single app, the company is now content to develop dedicated, job-specific apps that focus on just one or perhaps a few Creative Cloud tasks.

Apple Pulls iOS Apps and Games with US Confederate Flag

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Apple-iOS-Civil-War-App-Confederate-Flag.jpg
Backlash from the Charleston shooting is spilling into the digital realm as more Conferdate flag imagery is removed. This time, Apple is pulling iOS apps the feature the Confederate flag, most notably games that feature the flag. Other retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Sears and eBay have also pulled items containing the Confederate flag, but those actions have been largely restricted to clothing, memorabilia and the flag itself.
Most puzzling is Apple’s haphazard application of their removal. Some apps that feature the Confederate flag like historical apps from the History Channel have been untouched due to their historical context. Games however, that also feature the flag in its historical context, have been mostly removed. Once again it looks as if the standard is being applied differently to games, with a harsher standard being applied to them.
In some ways, it represents how the Swastika is sometimes missing from mainstream games. However, in those cases, the German side can be represented by other German war-time flags. In this case, it might be possible for developers to resubmit their games with the lesser known first Confederate flag and hope that goes through. It’s a shame though that Apple has taken an axe to games in particular without considering the historical context. Hopefully the next time a removal is done, Apple takes the time to properly judge apps to see if the use of the offensive imagery is justified.
Thank you TouchArcade (http://toucharcade.com/2015/06/25/apple-removes-confederate-flag/) for the information

Microsoft's Sway app for iPad is now available, Windows 10 version on its way

Microsoft announced (http://blogs.office.com/2015/06/25/bringing-sway-apps-to-more-platforms-and-devices/) Thursday that Sway, the newest addition to Office, is now available for iPad and will have a Windows 10 version. There's also a Sway update for the iPhone. Sway is a way to publish full webpage stories for whatever topic piques your interest.
The iPad version has drawn on consumer feedback to streamline the app, and some of the changes can be found in the iPhone update as well. It's now easier to add text, photos and videos to each Sway, and you can track the progress of the site by switching between Edit and Preview modes. Sway is also now available in six more languages, in addition to English (Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Japanese) with more coming.

The iPad version of Sway takes advantage of the larger screen by allowing users to create and view in landscape as well as portrait mode. There's also a Remix option to try out different layouts and styles with the press of a button.
Sway for Windows, which will be available later this summer, promises a touch-first experience that syncs across the web and devices, and creates content that is attractive on any screen. The initial Sway release on Windows 10 will be limited to PC and tablets.
Different (https://sway.com/red_panda) examples (https://sway.com/universe_cheatsheet) of Sway demonstrate the versatility of the tool, while there's plenty of room left for your own interpretation.

BlackBerry's BBM 'Private Chat' Protects Against Unwanted Screenshots

Blackberry launched a new "Private Chat" feature for its BBM instant messaging application for Blackberry 10, Android and iOS. Private Chat is meant to strip out the pictures and names from a conversation so that if anyone takes a screenshot, they can't see who said what.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/C/4/507172/gallery/zach-pre_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/zach-pre,0101-507172-0-2-12-1-png-.html)In the demo above, Blackberry portrayed a situation in which one employee tells another that he will pretend to get sick so he doesn't come to work the next day. Blackberry said that if he had used Private Chat, then his privacy would have been protected in this case because the other colleague in the conversation wouldn't be able to take a screenshot of it. Of course, the colleague could also tell their boss that Zack is only pretending to be sick, but he wouldn't have any proof of it.
http://media.bestofmicro.com/C/5/507173/gallery/zach-post_w_600.png (http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/zach-post,0101-507173-0-2-12-1-png-.html)Private Chat conversations can also self-destruct after a certain amount of time, and you can set the length in BBM's settings. The Private Chat feature and the timing for self-destruction of messages are included in the new Privacy and Control Subscription, which will cost $0.99 a month. Current subscribers of the "Timed and Retracted Messages" feature, which Private Chat will be replacing, will be upgraded for free to the new bundle.
The new BBM update also includes a redesign (http://blogs.blackberry.com/2015/06/bbm-for-android-gets-android-material-design-update/) on Android, which follows Google's "Material Design" principles. Material Design has been adopted rather quickly by Android developers ever since Lollipop came out, especially compared to the previous "Holo" design guidelines.
Matias Duarte, who is Google's Vice President of Design, stated at Google I/O this year that over 40 percent of new apps use material design and over 200,000 apps have already adopted it in less than a year. He also said that the Material Design guidelines site has been visited over 2.5 million times so far, which isn't bad for a design resource.
The new BBM app also includes a new way to organize stickers and a new "quote message" feature to reference other people's messages in conversations. On iOS, the font is now based on the system font, which Blackberry believes users will appreciate.
The new BBM with Private Chat can be downloaded from both the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbm) and the Apple App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bbm/id690046600?mt=8) now.

Most profitable iOS app? The HBO Now app

HBO's decision to launch a standalone streaming service to desktop and mobile users seems like it was a brilliant move, as HBO Now was the top grossing app for Apple iOS in May, the App Annie research firm found.

image: http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/6/46196_01_profitable-ios-app-hbo-now.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/6/46196_01_profitable-ios-app-hbo-now_full.jpg)
http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/6/46196_01_profitable-ios-app-hbo-now.jpg

App Annie hasn't finalized June app figures yet, but expect HBO Now to remain near the top once again.

HBO Now, which is $14.99 per month, was able to top Spotify, Hulu, and other subscription-based streaming services. Using your iPhone, iPad, or other Apple device is the easiest way to watch premium content not attached to a cable or subscription plan.

HBO Now is one of the latest offerings that cable and satellite subscribers can think about if they want to cut the cord. Anyone interested in trying it out can sign up and receive a one-month free trial period.

YouTube for Android and iOS now supports 60FPS playback

Google has been on top of the upgrades to YouTube lately, with 60FPS support across YouTube for a little while now, but now the mobile apps have been updated to support high frame rate (HFR).

BlueStacks brings millions of Android apps to the Mac

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-07-02-image-4.png

After being stuck in alpha and beta testing for a number of years starting way back in 2012, the BlueStacks Android emulator for Mac has finally arrived (http://9to5mac.com/2015/07/01/play-mobile-android-apps-mca-bluestacks-app-player/). Already a popular destination for Windows users that want to bring their Android apps to the big screen, BlueStacks has finally released the Mac version bringing the world of Android to OS X users everywhere.
The BlueStacks App Player not only brings your mobile apps to Mac, but has done so with quite an impressive level of integration. The free app can bring just about any app based on x86, ARM or Android TV technologies to the Mac with mobile-to-desktop syncing and content sharing just like they do on native devices. It comes with full keyboard and mouse support as well as hand gestures like pinch and zoom on the trackpad.
BlueStacks will also leverage built-in Retina displays, mics, cameras and graphics support directly from OS X. Another nice touch here is that Mac users will be able to scoop apps directly from Google Play, just as though they were on an Android device.
According to the company, BlueStacks already has 90 million Windows users, a number that could very well rise as Mac users get a hold of it. While its unclear how many Apple-heads are all that interested in the Google Play offerings, there are likely some without Android devices that will enjoy browsing through the millions of Android apps on tap. You can dowload the free app here (http://www.bluestacks.com/).

‘Written’ App In iOS Allows You To Send Any Kind Of Message As Fast As Possible

Smartphones have been around for quite some time now and one of the initial purposes that it was intended for was easy communication. As time eloped with traditional methods of communication, internet messaging came forward. Its not like people do not send messages via SMS but they prefer the convenience. Considering iOS (http://wccftech.com/bet-cool-iphone-trick/) as part of messaging, the platform has provided many ways of communication that includes SMS, iMessage and WhatsApp (http://wccftech.com/screen-text-selection-tweak-swipeselection-modified-safari/) and any other that might make its way to the App Store.
http://cdn4.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/adorange.jpg (http://cdn4.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/adorange.jpg)
However, if its convenience we seek to send the message as fast as possible, whether it be WhatsApp, iMessage or an SMS there’s this awesome application that enables you to do so. In contrast to opening different applications and closing others and tapping every where to reach your desired destination to send the message, Written allows minimum hard work and more convenience to send your message. Lets get to the mechanics of the application.
Send Your Messages Fast And Easy With Written Written works by swiping down from any where of your screen and the app will be prompted. Next you have to make your way through the application to select your desired platform to send the message. This isn’t very hard, its right in front of the application and requires minimum time. But before you straighten up to use the Written app, configure the messages and contacts that you frequently use.

http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/110.jpg (http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/110.jpg)
To configure the Written app, launch it and provide some pieces of pre-written text which will come in handy when you use it later. Next you will have to select some of your favorite contacts that you feel are the important ones. Currently. Written app supports WhatsApp, iMessage and SMS to be integrated in the application for later use. However, the working of the application is same throughout each platform.
Set the Written Notification Center Widget and that is it. With this in your iPhone, you will no longer have to search for contacts to be selected and no need of looking for the icon to start messaging. Just swipe down and select your pre-set text and that’s it, as easy as it sounds. The Written App is available on the App Store for $0.99 and can be Downloaded from HERE (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/written/id1006665851?mt=8). Do let us know what you think about Written.

Spotify urges premium subscribers to stop paying through Apple's App Store

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015-06-10-image-4.jpg

Spotify is sending emails (http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/8/8913105/spotify-apple-app-store-email) to iPhone customers encouraging them to stop paying for its premium music streaming service through Apple's App Store. The company is advising people to sign up directly through the Spotify website (https://www.spotify.com/us/) as a way to avoid the 30 percent fee Apple charges on in-app subscriptions.
Spotify’s ad-free paid tier costs $9.99 per month, but the company charges $12.99 if purchased at the iTunes App Store to offset the cut that Apple takes.
The email reads: "We like you just the way you are. Don't change. But if you want to change how much you pay for Spotify Premium, we're here to help. In case you didn't know, the normal Premium price is only $9.99, but Apple charges 30 percent on all payments made through iTunes. If you switch your payments to Spotify.com, there are no transaction costs and you'll save money."
The message then gives a 12-step tutorial explaining how to shut off auto-renew through iTunes and transfer a Spotify premium account to the web — something that can only be done once a current subscription lapses.
This is not the first time Spotify has clashed with Apple; in 2012, the company claimed Apple tried to prevent its US launch (http://www.techspot.com/news/48827-spotifys-sean-parker-claims-apple-tried-to-prevent-their-us-launch.html), and Spotify is widely believed to be behind the antitrust allegations (http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/04/doj-investigation-apple-beats-music/) that led to both EC and DOJ investigations into Apple's alleged anti-competitive practices.

Good News – You Can Now Quick Reply To WhatsApp Messages On Your iPhone

One of the benefits of Cydia and jailbreaking your iOS device, as much as folks over at Apple hate it, is getting nearly countless customizations on your device. From completely changing the interface of your device, to adding features not possible with stock iOS, jailbreaking offers many easy to go solutions for users all around. And today, we have just that in store for you. Quick Reply is one of iOS’ coolest features, allowing users to respond to text messages on the go, without unlocking their devices. Well, if you’ve jailbroken your device, and are looking for Quick Reply for WhatsApp, you’re in luck after the break.

Use WAQuick Reply To Respond To WhatsApp Messages From Lock Screen Or Notification Banner Now, thanks to a tweak called WAQuick, you’ll be able to respond to WhatsApp Messages directly from lock screen or notification banner. You’ll also be able to do this completely, or nearly bug free so WAQuick Reply should add for a good replying experience. Of course keep in mind that to make WAQuick Reply work, you’re going to need to purchase its license from the tweak’s preference panel in the Settings menu.
This costs $2.99, which should be reasonable enough for anyone used to installing tweaks on their device regularly. And after you’re finished, you’ll be able tor respond to WhatsApp messages without the hassle of unlocking your device. This works even when the app is not loaded in the background, so you’re covered in nearly every aspect. Of course, Quick Reply to messaging apps is one other feature that is expected in Apple’s iOS 9, so if you’re not much into the whole jailbreak scene, then you could simply wait for the update. Or, if you can’t wait, then download and install iOS 9’s public beta, which has been live for quite a while.

Apple Store Down – 2015 iPod Launch Happening Later Today!

Apple is expected to launch its next-gen iPod (http://wccftech.com/apple-starts-limit-ipod-supplies-stores-upgrade-imminent/) later today. Ahead of this expected iPod launch, Apple has taken down its online store.
http://cdn4.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Screenshot-2015-07-15-18.45.52-1024x612-635x380.png (http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Screenshot-2015-07-15-18.45.52-1024x612.png)
Is iPod launch really confirmed? Many had believed that there won’t be any new iPods coming from Apple. However, in the past few months we kept spotting things here and there that indicated that Apple could in fact release a new iteration of iPod (http://wccftech.com/2015-ipod-touch-6th-gen-release-details/) for those who don’t want the cellular features in their gadgets. Earlier, a reputed publication (http://9to5mac.com/2015/07/15/new-ipods/) shared that, “Apple will be rolling out a refreshed line of iPods today, according to sources.”

This refreshed iPod lineup expected today will bring major improvements with a 64-bit processor and an 8-megapixel iSight camera. It is rumored that iPod touch will come with a motion co-processor that will help user track down steps and distance among other metrics. More storage (http://wccftech.com/64-gb-ipods-unveiling-on-july-14/) will also be offered in the upcoming 2015 iPods. New iPods will be offered in dark blue, dark pink and well, gold.
Until now just another rumor, Apple’s taking down the online store has given a strong green light that we indeed are going to see the sixth generation of iPods possibly later today. With Apple’s Music (http://wccftech.com/apple-produce-music-videos-apple-music-artists/) now making waves in the industry, it is likely that Cupertino tech giant has timed this delayed release of 6th gen iPod to keep the music fans fall for the iPods all over again.
Have you been looking forward to some new and more powerful iPod Nano and Shuffles? Today’s definitely going to be your day.

Apple Down as Several Services Experience Outage – Updated List

Several of the Apple services are experiencing issues as the company has officially confirmed. Apple Music, Beats 1 (http://wccftech.com/ipad-classrooms-itunes-app-upgrade/), iTunes (http://wccftech.com/apple-releases-itunes-12-2-1/), and Apple’s App Store has been reported to suffer from service disruptions. This comes after the Twitter confirmation of Beats 1 that announced nominees for the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

“We are investigating and will update the status as more information becomes available.”
http://cdn3.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Apple-Apologizes-its-users-on-Wednesday1-1024x640-635x397.jpg (http://cdn2.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Apple-Apologizes-its-users-on-Wednesday1-1024x640.jpg) Apple services experiencing downtime: Beats 1 announced the big exclusive on Twitter after which several of the Apple services started experiencing downtime. Many users from different geographical locations have confirmed having issues with services including Beats 1, iBooks Store and Apple Music. Apple (http://wccftech.com/download-ios-84-brand-ipod-touch-6-ipsw/) has updated its official system status page showing users what’s running and which services are experiencing the service disruptions. These include:

Apple Music
iBooks Store
Beats 1
iTunes

iTunes in the Cloud
iTunes U
iTunes Match
iTunes Store

App Store
Apple TV
OS X (http://wccftech.com/download-pp-ios-8-4-os-x-jailbreak/) Software Update
Mac App Store
Radio
Volume Purchase Program

Reports have confirmed that many of these iCloud-based aforementioned services are giving users error messages or having connectivity problems in United States and Canada. Apple has officially put that these outages have started from 6:45 AM PT / 9:45 AM ET.
Apple started offering Apple Music streaming service and Beats 1 radio station on June 30 and has since been on a roller coaster ride. Apple hit a major exclusive with Beats 1 as it announced to unveil 2015 MTA VMAs nominees on Beats 1 today on July 21. Cupertino tech giant is trying to offer exclusives not offered by any other competing music service. Apple has so far focused on world first song releases, high profile exclusive interviews and is the only platform offering Dr. Dre’s The Chronic and Taylor Swift’s 1989 albums. The exclusive list of 2015 MTA nominees is just another feather in the cap of the new service.
We will update this page as the Apple services including iTunes and Apple Music are back up again.

Microsoft Send App Brings Chat-Style Email To Apple iPhone

It seems these days that Microsoft is giving more attention to competing platforms like iOS (http://hothardware.com/tags/ios) and Android than it does to its own Windows Phone (soon to be Windows 10 Mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10-mobile)) devices. Joe Belfiore, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of the Operating Systems Group, even had to explain to Windows Phone users back in early January (http://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-joe-belfiore-reassures-users-that-office-team-has-not-forgotten-windows-phone) that it hadn’t abandoned its flock despite the fact that it gave iOS and Android users better versions of Office.
With that in mind, Microsoft has launched its new Send email app for the iPhone (Microsoft says that Send is “coming soon” to Android and Windows Phone (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-phone)). Send is the latest product to ship from Microsoft Garage (https://www.microsoft.com/garage/#garage-workbench) and aims to make sending quick notes to co-workers and classmates a simple affair. The first thing to cross my mind when I first learned of Send was “Why not just use IM or send someone a text?”

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/34452/content/small_microsoft_send.jpg

Well, the Microsoft Outlook Team figures that there are specific usage scenarios where this isn’t always an optimum solution. “While tools like text messaging and IM are great for short messages, you often don’t have your co-worker’s cell phone number or an IM app on your work phone,” wrote the Outlook Team in a blog posting. “This is where Send comes in! Send gives you the simple, quick text message-like experience while allowing you to reach all co-workers and have all of your communications in Outlook for reference later.”
You won’t see all of your emails within the Send app, just the one that you initiated from within the app. And thanks to tight integration with Office 365 — in fact, the new Send app will only work with an Office 365 business or school account — Send scans your most recent and frequent contacts to make getting in touch with your colleagues a simple affair.
Send also supports short replies that are simply a swipe away like “On my way” or “I’ll get back to you.” And lest you worry about such a “laid back” app not being up to code with your company’s email conventions, the Outlook Team reassures that “All Send messages comply with your organization’s email compliance policies—they are treated like any other work email.”
The Send app is available today via the iOS App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/send-microsoft-garage-project/id1006837718).

Apple is offering 100 premium apps for just $0.99 each

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/07/2015-07-24-image-4.png

Apple has launched a new promotion in which it’s offering 100 of the top games and apps in its App Store for less than a buck each. If you own an iOS device and don’t yet have plans for the weekend, well… now you do.
The sale is broken down into six categories: Apps for Photography Lovers, Apps for Kids, Smart Tools for Everyone, Game Hits, App Store Veterans and More Games to Explore. Or in other words, there’s no shortage of games to choose from.

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/07/2015-07-24-image-5.jpg Some noteworthy titles include Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope 2, Real Racing 2, Goat Simulator, The Room Two, GoodReader and Pixelmator. Many of the apps originally sell for around five bucks but can all be had for $0.99 each.
It’s unclear if this is a limited-time sale or a new permanent fixture in the App Store. The wording Apple chose to use – “New Low Prices” – suggests this could be a long-term promotion instead of a random weekend sale. If you see something you want, however, I probably wouldn’t risk waiting… you know, just in case.
Digital Trends (http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/apple-appstore-100-sale-app-promotion-news/) points out that a number of developers and studios taking part in the sale started tweeting about the price cuts yesterday using the hashtag #AppStoreOffers and the custom URL appstore.com/100 (http://appstore.com/100).

Periscope Updated For iOS, Brings Handoff Support, Muting And More

Twitter had refreshed Periscope application for iOS 8 (http://wccftech.com/hold-paid-iphone-apps-free-today/) with interactive notifications and draft support. The newest updated bumps the update to version 1.1.3 that hosts many new features which are highly demanded. Open your knowledge baskets because we’ll be covering the changelog in detail. Twitter’s startup, Periscope is available free of charge for iPhone and iPad. Lets take a look at what the update has to offer.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/periscope2-970-80-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/periscope2-970-80.jpg)
However, another note worthy update just came in announcing handoff and muting for the live micro-blogging app. The update enables users to remain undisturbed from unwanted broadcast notifications. Muting a broadcast does not specifically mean that you unfollow a certain broadcaster, it just stops notification from popping up every now and then. Roll down for more details.
Periscope Update Adds Handoff Support, Notification Settings And MoreMuting the notifications which is a really cool feature for those who follow broadcasters but do not want to receive notifications all the time. The update also offers new notification for settings for the list of people you follow. It constitutes viewer statistics when browsing and viewing broadcasts and many other things. The global list for broadcast recommendations is also designed according to your geographical location. You will be able to know about home or nearing broadcasts. This is a useful feature for those broadcasters and users who wish to market their broadcasts locally.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Location.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Location.jpeg)

One of the biggest features part of this update is the handoff support for iOS users. Say, if you have your Bluetooth enabled and your iCloud account tallied on all of your iOS 8 devices (http://wccftech.com/pandora-loss-traffic-apple-music-launch/) or OS X (http://wccftech.com/modify-battery-alerts-iphone-batteryflow/), you can start viewing a broadcast on your iOS 8 (http://wccftech.com/ios-notification-center-manage-emails-email-widget/) device where you left off from another. This continuation is seamless and very much appreciated as it gives users the ability to shift devices for whatever reason that may oppose.
You can use the handoff feature by swiping up thie Periscope icon from the Lock screen of the device you want to use. If you wish to transit your broadcast on a Mac from your iPhone, all you have to do is click the Safari (http://wccftech.com/request-desktop-site-safari-ease-ios-9/)icon located at the left side if the dock on you Mac. This will resume the broadcast on your Mac from your iPhone.

The live micro-blogging app, Periscope is a useful tool for users which can be used domestically and commercially for blogging. Periscope can be either directed towards family and friends as well as internationally, giving heats for appreciation. If you are a Periscope user, you can update the App and get a hold of the aforementioned features.

This Is One Of The Best Third-Party iPhone Camera App Out There

iPhone camera apps are aplenty over at the App Store. Just dive into the Photo & Video category, and you’ll come to realize that the floodgates are overflowing with different offerings that give users something to mull over. But not all camera apps are great; some go above and beyond features which aren’t suited for the average Joe, while some fall short miserably. That’s where Obscura Camera comes in, which is a perfect blend of being advanced and minimalist at the same time.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/15-635x559.jpg
From the get-go, you’ll realize that Obscura Camera is meant with ergonomics in mind. The app’s user-interface is designed in such a way that everything is just a thumb’s reach away, making it very comfortable to use on a day to day basis.
Ergonomics aside, the app is packed with features which should be there in every camera app as standard, including the stock one which ships as part of iOS for iPhone and iPad both. Users get the usual set of options, such as quick focus lock and quick exposure lock controls. Obscura Camera really takes off when you take into account that it also lets you manually control ISO settings and shutter speed. If you’re a pro photographer, then you would already know that these two settings alone are important for taking a great shot.
Obscura Camera also features three gird overlays, with rule of thirds, square and circle being the available options, so you can rest assured that you’ll get a perfectly aligned and weighted shot every single time you pull out your iPhone from your pocket.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/33-635x560.jpg
And of course, there are live filters if you want to take your snaps to a whole new level. With nine live filters to choose from, you can preview each and every single one even before you even take a photo, so the user gets a rough image beforehand what he or she would end up shooting. Although there are nine filters, as we mentioned before, you can buy six more, which are available as an in-app purchase.
The developer promises to update the app with even more feature in the near future. And taking the app for a spin in its current form on one of our iPhones, it makes us wonder how it can be improved even further knowing it’s already in good shape.
The app is available to download (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/obscura-camera/id915939220?mt=8) from the App Store and costs absolutely nothing, with in-app purchases being available, ranging from $1.99 to $4.99. The app is only compatible with the iPhone and does not support the iPad natively just yet.

How To Add iTunes Pass To Passbook / Wallet App On iPhone

Here’s how you can add iTunes Pass to Passbook or Wallet app on iPhone. Once added, your iTunes Pass will be a thumb’s reach away.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Screen-Shot-2015-07-29-at-8.06.29-PM-635x344.png
Passbook, which has been rebranded to Wallet in iOS 9, is one place where you can store all your passes and credit cards for use in different locations. But little do people know that you can actually add your own iTunes Pass straight to Passbook or Wallet using a few simple steps. We’ll walk you through the process of how you can do just that, and explain the advantage of having it just a tap away.
Add iTunes Pass to Passbook / Wallet1. First and foremost, launch the App Store on your iPhone.
2. Once the App Store is done refreshing and all the content is done loading, scroll all the way down till you reach the ‘Apple ID’ section as shown in the screenshot below. Tap on it.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0001.png
3. You’ll be presented with a pop-up, tap on ‘View Apple ID.’
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0002.png

4. You will be required to enter your Apple ID password, do so when prompted for it.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0003.png
5. You’re now in ‘Account Settings’ for your Apple ID. Scroll down a little and you’ll see a button labelled ‘Add iTunes Pass to Passbook.’ Tap on it and you’ll be presented with your iTunes Pass with an ‘Add’ button on the top right hand corner. Tap that as well.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0004.png
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0005.png
6. Open Passbook or Wallet app to confirm that the process was successful. You can tap on your iTunes Pass to make it entirely visible on the display along with a QR code.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_0006.png
At this point you must be wondering why you would want to add your iTunes Pass to Passbook or Wallet? First of all, if you’re living in a supported country, you can actually use your iTunes Pass to top up balance to your account. Simply walk into an Apple Retail Store, present your iTunes Pass to a Specialist, tell him / her the amount of balance you wish to recharge, and it will be added to your iTunes Account using a QR code being displayed on your iTunes pass. And secondly, the iTunes Pass is the best way to see your remaining balance in real-time. Every single time you make a purchase on the App Store or the iTunes Store, your credit will be updated on the fly, giving you a quick glimpse of your financial situation when it comes to all things iTunes. If you’re not bothered by any of those two things we mentioned, then hey, having an iTunes Pass makes the Passbook / Wallet app look cool. Just putting it out there.

Yahoo Releases Livetext Silent Video Chat App For iOS, Android

Yahoo has just released a brand new app for iOS and Android called ‘Livetext.’ The concept of the app is simple – it’s live video chat without sound combined with traditional text messaging.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/17.jpg
If you go through the App Store right away, you’ll be surprised to find a ton of social networking apps that support video calling right off the bat. With big names like Skype, Viber and Tango well established in what they do best, a new entrant has to struggle to climb to the top of the chain, until or unless it offers something which others aren’t. And this is what Yahoo is pinning its hopes on with the release of Livetext for iOS and Android.
The concept of the app is very simple and straightforward – it combines video chat without sound with the traditional convenience of text messaging. So basically, instead of ‘real’ sound to get a message across, users get to interact with others using plain old text, while also getting a live feed of their mugshot.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/24.jpg
Yahoo claims that such a method of communication makes a user feel as if they are ‘right there’ with their fiends. We’re not sure how that works out, but it would be hilarious to see someone type something hysterical using text and watch the other person laugh silently for a good few seconds.

To make sure that spam and abuse does not take place, each Livetext session is one-to-one, and can only be initiated once both concerned parties have agreed upon it.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/34.jpg
Yahoo had been silent (excuse the pun) for a long while when it comes to mobile apps, but lately it has started to pick up pace under the new leadership of Marissa Mayer. Though Livetext might sound like a ‘meh’ idea for a lot of users, but if you think about it, it’s actually a well thought-out piece of software that has the potential to go a long way if it gets the right traction. We’re absolutely certain from this point onwards that Yahoo will keep on pushing great apps like Livetext into the App Store and Play Store in the weeks and months to come, till then, all we can do is find someone who is willing to Livetext with us.

<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N-3Mw4Ilvl4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You can download Yahoo Livetext for iOS from here (https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/yahoo-livetext-video-messenger/id995121875?mt=8), and Android here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yahoo.arrow). The app is absolutely free to download, and we suggest giving it a whirl before reaching any sort of conclusion regarding what it has to offer.

But little do they know about a handy trick that helps transfer playlists from Spotify and Rdio to Apple Music. So we are going to guide you to export your playlist to Apple Music from Rdio and Spotify.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/MoveToApple-teaser-001-635x177.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/MoveToApple-teaser-001.jpg)
‘Move To Apple Music’ is an app developed by two Californians that automates the operation to move your tracks and playlists from Spotify and Rdio to Apple Music (http://wccftech.com/master-apple-music-littleknown-tips-tricks/). All this with just a click of a button. The application (http://wccftech.com/hold-paid-iphone-apps-free-today/) is exclusive to the Mac and supports the format of your tracks and playlists that is accepted by iTunes. In this regard, the blurb says, “We don’t block your computer while transferring your songs, feel free to use it,” More on pricing and availability will be detailed momentarily.
Migrate Your Rdio And Spotify Playlists To Apple MusicTalking about data access, the app uses the official login API from all services and henceforth, the app will not have a direct access to your data. “We use this great library called mitproxy in order to intercept the data iTunes sends to Apple’s server. In that way we can replicate exactly the same request as iTunes would do when you click on ‘Add to My Music’ button,” explains their FAQs.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Screen-Shot-2015-07-28-at-18.30.01-635x355.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Screen-Shot-2015-07-28-at-18.30.01.jpg)
Developers claim that in a period of eight days, their app has migrated over 150,000 songs. Once transacting your playlists to Apple Music from the host music streaming platforms, you will notice a minor 30 second delay between each migration. The delay is part of the migration in respect of the iTunes API. The app is essential for users who wish to migrate their tracks and playlists to Apple Music from Rdio and Spotify.
Move To Apple can be downloaded from the developers official source, MoveToApple and not the Mac App Store.The app is available for purchase via the PayPal account alone, charged at $4.99. Its a very useful app designed for easy playlist migration. We would totally recommend you to give this app a swirl and let us know how you guys liked it.

Free Up Valuable iPhone And iCloud Storage With Gallery Doctor

Ever come across a message on your iPhone that you cannot accomplish a specific task because the memory was full? It happens a lot, and the reason behind this is the limited storage on our smartphones and our inability to delete unwanted data on our devices. Most of us still use iPhones with 16 gigabytes of memory space which might not be enough if you use your device as a daily driver. Unfortunately, the iCloud storage is also limited, unless you’re willing to sacrifice some extra bucks.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Gallery-Doctor-1.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Gallery-Doctor-1.jpeg)
However, app developers are well aware of your storage difficulties and steps have been taken to minimize your regrets. Gallery Doctor is one such app developed by Flayvr Media Ltd. that frees up space on your iOS device with minimum effort required. Basically, Gallery Doctor is an app that recognizes unwanted photos or videos and deletes them to free up space. It sounds like an app with a conscience, but it’s actually not.
Gallery Doctor Is Your Personal Gallery ManagerGallery Doctor has the potential to automatically identify a set of photos and videos which are blurry, poor in quality, dark, identical, and even boring. The unwanted photos are then piled up for a review. In the review section you can swipe left to delete the picture or swipe right to keep it. This is sort of a confirmation to delete the pictures with the aforementioned characteristics.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Gallery-Doctor-2.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Gallery-Doctor-2.jpeg)

Gallery Doctor is not done yet. By the passage of time, the app gets smarter by learning from your liking or disliking habits. It learns from the type of photos you delete and the type you usually keep. The suggestions for deleting photos only gets better over time. The app is like a personal antivirus for your gallery where all photos get deleted that are not set to a particular standard. You don’t have to spend hours trying to sort out the bad photos and then delete them, Gallery Doctor does that for you. The most important aspect is the free memory space that you get after all unwanted photos are deleted.

Gallery Doctor keeps you updated of your bad photos so you can clean your iPhone and free some valuable space with just a tap. If you are worried about privacy, Gallery Doctor does not store or share your personal photos with anyone at all. The app is available on the App Store for $2.99 and fully supports the iPhone. Do give this app a try and let us know about your awesome experience in the comments.

OneDrive For iOS Updated: Improves VoiceOver, Brings Back File Download, More

Microsoft’s OneDrive app has been updated for iOS that brings three new noticeable changes to the roster. One of the induced changes include the ability to download videos and photos from OneDrive to the Camera Roll. This hiatus feature has been continued again after the app had a major redesign in the prior months. The updated OneDrive app the version number up to 5.5 that also contains support for Single Sign-On and VoiceOver improvements.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/One_Drive-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/One_Drive.jpg)
OneDrive is one of the many cloud based storage apps that aids in storing files on a cloud server. Let’s dive in to see what other changes are part of the update.
The Incarnation Of Downloading Photos And VideosThe download feature has once again made a comeback in OneDrive v5.5. The feature allows users to download and save their photos and videos from the cloud straight to the Camera Roll of their iOS device.
The procedure to download photos and videos is very, very simplistic. All you have to do is navigate to the folder of your photos that you want to download and tap the image or video to be downloaded to your Camera Roll in Photos app. Although it does require an Internet connection, so be sure to have one on standby before going ahead.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OneDrive-5.5-for-iOS-iPhone-screenshot-001-635x373.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OneDrive-5.5-for-iOS-iPhone-screenshot-001.jpg)
Single Sign-OnPreviously, you needed to sign-in to other Microsoft apps to access OneDrive. However, with this update, Microsoft has cancelled the previous sign-in program and replaced it with a Single Sign-On option. This feature enables users to sign-in to OneDrive only once without the need to be logged in to other Microsoft apps like PowerPoint, Excel or Word.
VoiceOver ImprovementsApple has a well recognized and robust Accessibility feature which is devoted to users with disabilities. Microsoft has taken full advantage of Apple’s Accessibility feature and improved VoiceOver. Hence, OneDrive is now better for hearing-impaired users to interact with items on the display.
(http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OneDrive-5.5-for-iOS-iPhone-screenshot-001.jpg)
Apart from this, there also rests an improvement in sharing your photos and videos. The update prior to today showed lack of intuitiveness and native Share Sheet. Now, you can rearrange sharing options to your preferences along with a native Share Sheet linked to Facebook, Twitter and other apps.
If you don’t have OneDrive installed, it’s completely free of charge, so you can straightaway go to the App Store and grab it for your iOS device. After the initial download, Microsoft gives you 15 gigabytes of free storage. However, you can unlock another 15 gigabytes by enabling the automatic Camera Roll update option. If it still isn’t worth your data, then you can upgrade to more cloud storage via in-app purchases.

Here’s how you can create a custom iOS keyboard theme using photos which you have taken with your iPhone and iPad. At the end you’ll be left with a keyboard to use whose color combination is totally unique compared to anyone else’s in the world.
Apple made a bold move opening up iOS even further by providing an official keyboard API with the release of iOS 8, allowing developers to create one of a kind third-party keyboard apps for the iPhone and iPad which just wasn’t possible before on a stock level. The first wave of apps consisted of big names such as Swype, SwiftKey (http://wccftech.com/swiftkey-keyboard-ios-gets-themes/), Fleksy etc. but slowly and gradually countless others gave the whole ordeal a shot, expanding the horizon and giving birth to truly unique offerings. Photokeys is one such app, and allows the user to create a completely custom iOS keyboard theme using just the photos stored on your iPhone and iPad.

The way the app actually works is no rocket science at all. The first time you set out on your theme customizing odyssey, you’ll first need to pick a photo from your iOS device on which your keyboard theme must be based on. Once you’ve done that, you then pick a set of five colors right from the photo itself which are in turn integrated to the keyboard theme which you want to create. Once you’re done making those oh so crucial adjustments and finishing touches, you’ll be left with a custom iOS keyboard that’s completely unique in its own regard. Sounds simple doesn’t it? And trust us, it actually is.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/3-635x564.jpg
The app allows you to either select a photo right from the device itself or you can snap one there and then, giving you more freedom in terms of customization options. But that’s not all, the keyboard also caters to the users among us who love to make use of emoji on a daily basis, therefore the developers have added a button directly on the keyboard, giving each one of us access to over 100 emoji characters on the fly. Rest of the features on the keyboard are pretty much standard, such as predictive text and autocorrection.
You can download Photokeys for iOS from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photokeys-color-keyboard-from/id1004594979?mt=8), and it costs just a dollar. The keyboard app supports both the iPhone and iPad natively, so you can rest assured that it will across all of your devices without any sort of problem.

Space For iOS Lets You Access Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, iCloud Drive In One Place

Every major cloud storage service has an official app for iOS, or any major platform for that matter. While it’s a great move that the companies behind cloud services have done the legwork for providing us with a solution for accessing our flies on the go, but some users, like us, would like to go an extra mile and would want to access everything in one place, under one roof. This is where a newly released ‘Space’ app for iOS comes in.
At first glance, Space for iOS might not look useful at all. But as soon as you read that oh-so important description, you’ll be pleased to learn there and then that the app combines five of the best and top cloud storage services right in one place.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/11.jpg
In case you’re wondering, Space for iOS works with the following services:

Dropbox
OneDrive
Box
Google Drive
iCloud Drive

Space is actually a wonderful app in regard to what it does; it lets you view files from the aforementioned services on the go. But that’s not the best part – it even lets you upload and download content, transfer between cloud services, and even store your favorite files for offline use. Things really don’t get better than what Space for iOS is offering, it really does not.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2.jpg

If you’re a person who loves to manage files on the go, then you’ll be pleased to learn that Space lets you create and manage folders on the fly as well, and of course, sync files across those folders at any given time.
On the security front, Space is actually pretty safe to use as it does not store your passwords and everything is handled over a secure connection. In short: Space for iOS is a complete package for managing all your cloud storage needs on the fly while also keeping security in mind.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/31.jpg
Since the app offers functionality beyond measure, hence it comes with a $2.99 price tag, which we believe is entirely fair for what this little offering is bringing to the roster. The app is also a universal one, which means that a single download will work across all of your iOS devices natively, which includes your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. You can download Space for iOS from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/space-cloud-file-manager/id1010628477?mt=8).
If you do happen to give Space for iOS a try on your iPhone and iPad, then be sure to let us know what you think about it in the comments section below.

The Pocket App Is Testing Recommendations In Upcoming Public Beta
The Pocket app has made it really easy to save your favorite content for a later read. Either its a piece of text to read or a video to watch, you can pocket it for future consideration. The Pocket app is super useful when you have limited time to read because something of greater importance comes up. However, over its eight years of life span, the app still lacks the ability to recommend articles to users on its own.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pocket1-635x337.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pocket1.jpg)
On that note, Pocket is said to be working on a program that would provide Recommendations to users. Before this is officially available, Pocket is opening a public beta for users who wish to try the upcoming feature and in turn provide the company with feedback. As we know, the Pocket app is available on iOS, Android as well as the web, recommendations would be a great addition to the app. The Recommendations tab will sit next to the My List tab where all your saved content is stored . Pocket will judge the stories you save to recommend stories that might interest you.
Pocket Will Soon Recommend You Interesting StoriesInstapaper is another read-it-later app that has an upper hand in contrast to Pocket because it already hosts the recommendation aspect integrated in the Browse tab. Before Pocket releases the final version to its 17 million users, beta users will provide the company with their feedback for the final evaluation of the app.
Pocket has an enormous goal, to build a ‘save button for the internet’ and with the upcoming update, it will surely get closer to it. The operation started last month when Pocket integrated its Save button by default in the toolbar of Mozilla Firefox. Pocket’s CEO and founder, Nate Weiner wrote on a blog post on Thursday:

“It’s a noisy world out there. The channels we use to discover the stories we’re interested in — Twitter, Facebook, and a slew of news readers, etc. — are dictated by page views and favor real-time, meaning great content has a relatively short lifespan. As a result, what’s good is constantly being pushed down by what’s simply new.”
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/pocktr-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/pocktr.jpg)
With users already saving the best content, Nate points that there will be no further need to hunt for it. This will be a gigantic step for users and Pocket itself. The operation would envision people to “cut through the noise” and find the most interesting piece of content. However, this is a long term plan for Pocket and as for now the company has its focus on providing users with recommendations on their favorite stories.
If you want to download the public beta for Pocket’s preview for integrated Recommendations on iOS, sign up here (http://pocket.co/sos2mE).

Microsoft Launches A Fully Loaded Outlook App For Apple Watch

Microsoft has taken a step further on its support for the Apple Watch by updating its Outlook app for iPhone. If you already use the Outlook app on iOS then it relatively does a pretty good job on the Apple Watch too. But the latest update brings with it major changes which will improve functionality on Cupertino’s new wearable.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/outlook-ios-logo.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/outlook-ios-logo.png)
Prior to the latest update, Outlook users were limited to receive basic notification messages with no adequate interactivity. In the latest Outlook update for iOS, the Watch app now shows more of the email body and even provides the ability to reply to those messages. Microsoft has updated the Outlook app for the Apple Watch with a more native feel.
Let’s dive in to see what changes are part of the update.
Outlook Update Lets You Reply To Emails Directly From Your WristThe update makes the Outlook app way more functional than before. Once you have installed the update, you can now see incoming emails, access for upcoming appointments on the calendar, rich notifications with more of the email body and the functionality to interact with those notifications. With more of the message body in view, users can now decide on an initial glimpse whether or not to open an email. You can also respond to emails with handy messaging tools like canned responses, use of emoji, and if this isn’t relevant enough, you can always dictate your own message using Siri.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/16-635x259.jpg
Other than the inbox management, Outlook update for iOS also features a new Glance on the Apple Watch. The Outlook Glance on Apple Watch shows an overall view of the inbox that shows read and unread emails. The information for upcoming events for the day on the calendar is also provided on the Outlook Glance. This makes it quite easy to schedule events with the least effort.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/4.jpg
For a more clearer insight, here’s the entire changelog:

Get a quick glance of what’s happening in your Outlook Inbox or what’s next in your calendar just by swiping up from the Watch face. Just try it, you’ll love it.
Need more context? Catch up with unread emails during your busy day right from the Outlook Watch App. When it’s really urgent, just reply directly from your watch with the set of replies we’ve pre-written just for you. We also have emojis and voice dictation if you’re more than kind of person.
Never miss what’s really important to you. Get notified of important emails and take action immediately thanks to our custom notifications. Archive that. Schedule this for later. It’s easy as 1, 2, 3.

A dimension has been opened for the Apple Watch in terms of email management. Maybe other third-party developers can also use the same framework for more apps and provide more functionality for Apple Watch users. Those of you interested can download Microsoft’s Outlook for iOS directly from the App Store for free.

How Hackers Use Facebook and WhatsApp to Hijack iPhone’s Communications

Hackers have discovered how to use apps from the top charts of the App Store including WhatsApp, Facebook, Viber, and Skype to steal user data. Bypassing the security mechanism employed by Apple, hackers made sure that a user trusts a malicious app and downloads it, enabling attackers to steal the data silently.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/hacking-team-635x203.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/hacking-team.jpg)
The masque attack hijacks communications, steals dataAfter the leak of Hacking Team’s internal data in June, security researchers have been busy trying to find out what different techniques were used by the team in its endeavors to hack and spy on its targets. The group has served an elite clientele consisting of government departments and law enforcement agencies, including the notorious US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Latest information reveals that the iOS vulnerability (http://wccftech.com/apple-failed-to-fix-rootpipe-os-x-vulnerability/) helped hackers steal data from users by persuading iPhone users into installing malicious apps on their smartphones without their knowledge.
These aren’t the real apps of the services mentioned above but bogus clones replicating the authentic looks of the original apps. Apps, once installed, perform exactly like the real thing but are controlled by hackers giving them all the data (check the image below to see how a repackaged Facebook app demanded for all sorts of permissions) from the user’s iPhone. As mentioned above, bogus apps include malware versions of some top chart apps like Facebook, Twitter and more. Hacking Team modified these apps used and trusted by millions of users, making the clones look like the official apps all the while stealing data in the background. These modified apps utilized a “masque” attack technique which allowed them to install a modified app over the top of the official version by prompting user to install the bogus app.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/fireeye-ios-security-635x412.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/fireeye-ios-security.jpg)
According to the FireEye (https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/08/ios_masque_attackwe.html), security firm responsible for this discovery, a library injected into the modified apps could steal:

Photos; contact information; voice call recording in Skype, Viber and other services; text message interception in Skype, WhatsApp, etc; phone calls; SMS / iMessage content; Chrome web history; precise GPS coordinates; login credentials, and much more.

It’s almost like giving your entire data and online life in the hands of the hackers making the service quite useful to the clients, whoever they may have been in this particular case.
This spying method was first discovered by FireEye and reported to Apple last year and was patched in iOS 8.1.3 (http://wccftech.com/taig-v2-jailbreak-ios-813-82-83-windows/). However, it is only today that we are hearing of this technique being wildly used by the hackers before the patch arrived. While the patch disabled apps from overwriting others, attackers can still modify the bundle identifiers and install these apps alongside the official apps, tricking users into installing them, outside of the App Store.

Bundle identifiers are actually configurable by the remote attackers. So for iOS devices above 8.1.3, although the Masque Attack vulnerability has been fixed (apps with the same bundle identifiers cannot replace each other), the attackers can still use a unique bundle identifier to deploy the weaponized app.
This attack doesn’t require a jailbroken iPhone making all the secure, officially updated smartphones equally vulnerable to the spying technique. While this technique works on all the major mobile operating systems including Android (http://wccftech.com/android-dos-vulnerability/), researchers have only seen the attack being used against iPhone users.
To stay secure, make sure you never tap on Install outside of the App Store environment. These malicious apps aren’t hosted on the official App Store making all the downloads safe inside Apple’s own ecosystem. Users need to be aware of the phishing schemes and not fall for infected web links to stay safe from this kind of targeting.

Today: Pomodoro Timer Allows You To Time Your Tasks For Better Productivity

Some tasks require a lot of time while others are time sensitive which have to be done in a specific period of time. Mismanagement of time in that contrast might result in lower work efficiency and productivity as a whole. The best solution is to time the diversified tasks so you can finish it before the deadline.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pomodoro-Timer.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pomodoro-Timer.jpeg)
Today: Pomodoro Timer is an app that will do all the time management for you. All you have to do is provide a little detail and you are done. Today: Pomodoro Timer is a task manager that keeps track of task time and provides essential breaks in between. Deadlines usually make you more productive and henceforth, Today: Pomodoro Timer provides you with time per task so you can make the most of it.
Manage Your Tasks With Time With Pomodoro TechniqueThe app name comes from a Pomodoro technique developed in 1980s that aims to break down tasks in several intervals so you can get enough time for breaks as to keep you focused on your tasks. The idea of providing breaks is to snap you out of distractions which would have otherwise lead you to overdue tasks for a later time. The bases of Today: Pomodoro Timer are derived from the time management method and can be broken down into three major stages that will imporve productivity.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pomodoro-timer-2.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pomodoro-timer-2.jpeg)
The first stage is planning that deals in creating a list of tasks that you wish to do, for instance reading, writing, studying or any other. You also have the ability to add multiples of a certain task according to the amount of work that is to be done before the day end.

The second stage deals in focusing. It deals with setting timers for specific tasks that according to you is the best time between one minute and two hours. It totally depends upon you to schedule time of your tasks. After you set the timer for a particular task, next you have to set time for your breaks between the tasks, this is the interval.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pomodoro-timer-3.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Pomodoro-timer-3.jpeg)
The last stage is reviewing your daily progress which can be linked to your calendar. The events generated in the calendar by accomplishing tasks will encourage you to move to greater goals. However, calendar integration is available via in-app-purchases. These are the three major components or stages of the Today: Pomodoro Timer which you can use to enhance your productivity as well as save time for breaks.

Create A US Based Apple ID AccountBefore we can move things forward, you’ll first need a US based Apple ID. The steps for creating one are listed below:
1. First of all launch iTunes.
2. If you’re signed into iTunes using your current, non-US account, then we suggest that you sign out right away.
3. Scroll all the way down in iTunes and make sure the US store is selected. You can confirm by clicking on the flag at the bottom right hand corner and then selecting ‘United States’ on the new page.

4. On the top right of the iTunes UI there’s a button labelled ‘Sign In.’ Click on it, and you’ll be presented with a pop-up. Click on ‘Create Apple ID.’

5. Now click on ‘Continue.’ Also accept the licensing terms on the next page.

7. On the next page, you’ll be asked to select your payment method. Simply select ‘None’ and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the process.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/iTunes-payment-635x148.png
A lengthy process nonetheless, but once you’re done, you’ll end up with a United States based Apple ID at hand.
All done? Now move on to the last and final step.
Connect Using A US Based VPN To Listen To Beats 1The final step is to download and install a US based VPN on your iOS device to listen to Beats 1 radio. While there are a ton of VPN apps available on the App Store, none of them are really ‘free’ with trials and in-app purchases being the order of the day to keep things ticking. Hence we recommend that you give ‘Onavo Protect’ a shot to get things up and running for good (download link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-vpn-onavo-protect/id577491499?mt=8)).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_0014-635x553.png
The app is absolutely free, works like a charm on most connections, and during our testing we did not experience any sort of slowdowns or buffering issues.
The process might be lengthy for some, but hey, in the end you get to listen to Beats 1 radio. You can’t deny the greatness now can you?

LastPass Password Manager Goes Subscription-Free For Mobile

It makes sense to use a password manager because an increasing number of credentials are being stolen in major data breaches. LastPass and its competitors ensure the safe keeping of your passwords across all devices. To encourage users to make a leap, LastPass has freed its subscription on mobile devices as well as tablets. The company announced on Tuesday, citing that there will be no further need to sign up for any subscription to access LastPass’s features. Henceforth, syncing your password across different operating systems is made available without a charge.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/LastPass-635x190.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/LastPass.jpg)
However, if a user is in dire need of more features and more security then upgrading to a LastPass Premium Subscription is available for an annual fee of $12. Similarly, if you want to upgrade to LastPass Enterprise then it will cost an annual fee of $24 per user. Lets dive in and see the subscription details.
LastPass Updated With Free Subscription On MobileThe subscription free LastPass lets you access unlimited devices. All of the previous features remain intact to the free version that lets you manage your digital life and logins at one place. The LastPass Premium has access to Shared Folders where you have the availability to share your passwords with others. You also get more protection with Premium multi-factor as well as customer priority support. The Enterprise version is available for big and small teams with Cloud Single Sign-On option. It includes Shared Folders with customized permissions, AD integration, Unified Admin control, Automated provisioning and much more.

First time users can sync data across the same type of devices without the need to upgrade to the LastPass Premium version. LastPass CEO, Joe Siegrist stated:

“People often hear about useful apps on the go and want to get started right away from their smartphone. This new freemium model allows LastPass users to get started with our password manager on the device of their choice”.
The centralized password store is another provisional attempt made by LastPass that deals in providing a set of secure passwords for services which has user profile details. It can be further used to auto-complete mobile forms. It also features a security test and the ability to update automated passwords to secure users. The feature that makes LastPass an amazing password manager is the fact that users only need to remember a single password. If you have a single password to remember, you can make it more complex for more security.
LastPass for Mac is still available with a 14 day free trial. Users can download LastPass For Mac (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lastpass-password-manager/id926036361?mt=12) and LastPass For iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lastpass-password-manager/id324613447?mt=8) here.

Microsoft Announces Skype Business Preview for iOS and Android

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/skype-for-business-800x464.jpg
We’ve heard that Microsoft plans on killing the old Lync app for business chat and meetings and integrate everything in Skype, namely Skype for Business. In a blog post (https://blogs.office.com/2015/08/11/announcing-the-technical-preview-of-skype-for-business-apps-for-ios-and-android/), Microsoft today announced that it just released Skype for Business preview apps on iOS and Android, just months after it announced the Skype for Business project.
They state that the new apps come with a new and improved dashboard for easy navigation of contacts, calls, and meetings, while also updating the In-Call and In-Meeting experience. The dashboard now seems to show upcoming meetings and recent conversations in one place, while its new handy tools are built to make your life easier. For example, the contact search bar now find contacts by first and last name, email address, and even phone numbers. In addition to the latter, all contacts in your phone are now automatically included in the search.
http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/skype-for-business-preview.jpg
The In-Call and In-Meeting experience is now more fluid and easier to navigate on smartphones and tables by making the buttons larger. Also, videos now fill the entire screen, but the best part is that you can now browse content while in a call or meeting, view it in full size and view the speaker’s video at the same time.
Skype for Business apps are said to work with anyone on Lync Server 2013, Skype for Business Server 2015 and Skype for Business Online. IT Administrators who wish to take part in the preview can get more details by visiting the Skype for Business Preview app web page here (https://www.skypepreview.com/).

How To Save Cellular Data, Battery Life While Using Snapchat For iPhone

Snapchat is one of the most popular social apps on iOS, and can be a data hog if you make use of the service on a daily basis. From personal experiences, Snapchat cannot be used if your iPhone is at 20% or lower battery. With Instagram, you can browse through your feed even if your battery percentage is at 10%. But if we apply the same case to Snapchat, your device will take a miserable battery based tumble.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Snapchat_Logo.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Snapchat_Logo.png)
The reason behind this is because Snapchat wants to give their users the best possible experience, updating the app almost immediately in the background when something new pops up. You will instantly get notified of new replies or a newly uploaded Snapchat story. All of these automatic updates are handled by Snapchat’s built-in real-time feature.
Now that we know the real reason why Snapchat can’t run while your iPhone is low on battery or why this app consumes so many data. Let’s take things a little further and improve it by using Snapchat’s recently released feature called ‘Travel Mode.’
The developers behind Snapchat have decided to fix this headache by giving users the opportunity to disable its real-time feature in order to save cellular data usage and battery life as well. We think it is good to have this option enabled while you are traveling across the country or are just on a vacation somewhere awesome, so you don’t have to worry about roaming charges nor battery draining too quickly.
Travel Mode is also a good feature for Snapchat users who aren’t going anywhere either. You don’t want your iPhone to run out of battery faster than normal right? For whatever reasons you have, here is how to turn on the new Travel Mode.

Before we go ahead and get into the tutorial part, we just want you to keep in mind that by enabling Travel Mode, you won’t be able to receive everything in real-time on cellular data. In other words, New Snapchat stories, Discovery sections, and Snaps won’t load automatically when you launch the app.
How To Turn On Travel Mode In Snapchat For iPhone1. Launch Snapchat from your home screen.
2. Go to Settings > Manage Additional Services.
3. Move the ‘Travel Mode’ toggle to the ON position.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/snapchat-travel-mode-635x473.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/snapchat-travel-mode.png)
And that is how you use fewer Snapchat data and avoid charges from your carrier and save battery life as well in the process. You can download the latest version of Snapchat or update it via the App Store.

The iOS Photos App Is About To Get A Whole Lot Better In The Future, Here’s Why

We take a lot of photos using our iPhones on a day to day basis. With Apple pushing the credentials of its smartphone camera even further on an annual basis, the company half relies on the magic of its software to churn out beautiful snaps every time we press down on the camera shutter button. And speaking of software, a new patent application suggests that the Photos app which we all have come to love and adore for such a long time on iOS is about to get a whole lot better, and smarter.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/iPhone-Camera-Apps-635x342.png
According to a patent application filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office, Apple is going to integrate new face detection algorithms in a future version of the Photos app, aiming to improve the overall quality and user experience of Cupertino’s photo management software on mobile. The way the new algorithm is going to work is pure genius, if the patent application is anything to go by.
Whenever you take a photo using the iPhone’s camera, the Photos app will intelligently detect all the faces in the snaps you’ve taken, match them with the contacts that are stored on your device and mail those photos straight to the corresponding contacts, without any user intervention.
Mind. Blown.
Now, keep in mind that this is a patent application and nothing more. So there’s a high chance that this concept – or idea – will never see the light of day ever, like countless other patent applications filed by the Cupertino tech giant. And to make matters worse, we know for sure this feature will never ever be a part of iOS 9, due for release this fall, otherwise Apple would’ve made a huge song and dance about the whole thing on strange at WWDC 2015.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/110-635x391.jpg
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/23-635x869.png
Still, it’s a very interesting idea, and something that can extremely go a long way amongst a lot of users if you’re asking us. For instance, rather than hunt down a particular vacation photo to mail to your friend just because you missed sending it in the first place, wouldn’t it be great if iOS does the legwork for you? We’re sure you’ll agree.
On the negative side of the fence, while such an algorithm oozes awesomeness and convenience, there’s also a chance that unwanted shots would also be emailed over if things are overlooked by the user itself. We are certain Apple would throw in certain fail safe mechanisms in place to not let that happen, but who knows what can go wrong at any given time.

With the release of iOS 8, Apple opened the floodgates to developers, allowing them to finally develop third-party keyboards for iOS. Unlike before, developers were required to restrict their offerings inside of one specific app, but all that changed with iOS 8. But today, we’re going to highlight the top 5 best keyboard apps which you should download and try on your iOS 8 running iPhone or iPad right away.
Swypehttp://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Swype.jpg

Just like Swype, SwiftKey has been available on Android for quite a while now. It’s a smart third-party keyboard that learns from the way you type, and throws word suggestions at you on the fly. Compared to iOS’s built-in keyboard, SwiftKey’s prediction and suggestion engine really is a state of the art affair.

Disney Gifhttp://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Disney.jpg
If you’re a fan of Disney and don’t miss a moment to throw GIFs at people, then the Disney Gif keyboard is huge icing on the cake. With many Disney GIFs to choose from, including those from Pixar and Star Wars, you can rest assured that things will keep ticking nicely as you type away in conversations in iOS.
Download Disney Gif (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disney-gif/id989498339?mt=8) – Free

Paper App By FiftyThree Is Coming Soon To iPhone, Here’s What It Looks Like

The famed Paper app by FiftyThree is soon coming to the iPhone, and the company behind the offering has released an early peek at the title itself.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Paper-for-iPhone-635x318.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Paper-for-iPhone.jpg)
If you’re a designer and happen to be in the ownership of an iPad, then we’re certain you’re well aware of the Paper app by FiftyThree. The app is essentially a digital notebook that allows you to “Sketch out a new product design, chart your progress, or outline a great business plan. Paper is the essential digital notebook that works the way you think, with no fussy settings or distractions”
Coupled with FiftyThree’s Pencil stylus for iPad, the app is an absolutely killer offering when compared to its immediate competing titles. And now, FiftyThree has confirmed that the Paper app is indeed coming to the iPhone, but hasn’t given any more details, except for the image above.

At first glance, it becomes clear that the iPhone app will be a very different affair compared to the currently available app for iPad. For starters, the iPhone app will allow users to import images from the Camera Roll, from what we can judge from the image teaser above. Apart from that, we’re certain there are going to be more drawing options that are going to be specifically tailored for the iPhone’s smaller screen size. And lastly, as you can tell from the image, the Pencil stylus will indeed work with the iPhone, so you can rest easy knowing that your investment isn’t limited to the iPad itself.
Regarding pricing, FiftyThree hasn’t revealed anything on that front either. And it’s also not clear whether or not the existing Paper app will be updated to support the iPhone, or a brand new app will be released altogether to cater for Apple’s smartphone.
The current Paper app is available for free to iPad users and can be grabbed immediately from the App Store here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paper-by-fiftythree-draw-sketch/id506003812?mt=8). If you haven’t given it a shot just yet, then we urge you to do so pronto. It’s a one of a kind title that deserves a lot of praises. In fact, the Paper app has been such a star hit that it’s being used by 13 million users worldwide, but that’s not all, it even claimed the title of Apple’s App of the Year, and also won an Apple Design Award.
Not a lot of apps can boast those credentials, but there you have it.

BIM For iPhone Lets You Open Links Without Leaving Messages App

In this day and age, we send and receive a countless number of links to our contacts on a monthly basis. In fact, if you’re a serial texter, then it’s highly likely that your friends or family drop you links on a daily routine. But the problem is, interacting with those links can be a huge pain.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Cydia.png
See, the thing is, whenever you tap on a link, especially on an iPhone, the Safari browser will first launch, and when it’s done loading, it will then proceed to load up the link. The process of launching Safari is a huge pain for a lot of users, and wouldn’t things be better if Safari didn’t launch at all, and the link could be browsed directly from the Messages app? Guess what? You cries have finally been heard. A jailbreak tweak called BIM lets you do just that.
The way BIM for iPhone tweak works is absolutely genius. Instead of forcing the user to launch Safari to check out a link, BIM simply brings up a Safari overlay in which the link is loaded up. Once you’re done going through the link, simply tap on the close button on the top right hand corner to close the overlay. Given the simplicity of the tweak and how it works, we’re surprised that such a thing isn’t a part of stock iOS. Nonetheless, if you want such a thing to be a part of the roster, then jailbreaking is the way to go.
Apart from the close button on the top right, there’s a refresh / reload button on the top left hand corner. Hence, basic controls are all there to interact with the link.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/bim1-635x1129.jpg
BIM costs absolutely nothing (read: free) and is available to download directly from the BigBoss repo in Cydia. And like we mentioned above, it requires you to have a jailbroken iPhone. Lastly, there are no options to configure for BIM after you’ve installed it. Just download and use. If you don’t like it, simply get rid of it and things will be back to how they were before.
Haven’t jailbroken your device just yet?
If you’re a Windows user, then check out our guide posted here (http://wccftech.com/taig-v2-jailbreak-ios-813-82-83-windows/) for complete details. Alternatively, if TaiG is not your cup of tea then you can try its alternative PP to achieve the same thing. You can follow our complete guide posted here (http://wccftech.com/jailbreak-ipod-touch-6-ios-84-taig-25pp/) on how to use the PP jailbreak tool (http://wccftech.com/pp-jailbreak-tool-ios-84-released-download/) to liberate iOS 8.4.

WhatsApp Web finally adds iOS support

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/08/2015-08-20-image-3.jpg

Almost eight months after WhatsApp Web debuted on Chrome and Android, the desktop web app for the messaging service now finally supports iOS (http://venturebeat.com/2015/08/19/whatsapps-web-client-now-works-on-iphone/). This means Apple users can keep their accounts and messages in sync between the web app and their iPhones.
WhatsApp Web was launched in January and supported Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. The service never appeared on the iOS operating system due to “Apple platform limitations,” but iPhone support is now finally rolling out in the latest update (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997?mt=8).
Any iPhone users wanting to try out WhatsApp Web need to first open WhatsApp on their phone, choose settings, and then select the WhatsApp Web menu (assuming it’s appeared on the app). Users then need to go to WhatsApp’s website (https://web.whatsapp.com/), scan the QR code on the screen and the iPhone will begin pairing.
Once connected to the web app, conversations are mirrored; any action you take on the phone will apply to WhatsApp Web and vice versa. This offers the versatility of being able to start writing a message on a phone and finishing it on a desktop.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/08/2015-08-20-image.png
Although WhatsApp’s 800 million users puts it ahead of competitors like Facebook messenger, Viber and Kik, it is yet to make headway into Asia, where services such as WeChat and Line dominate.
WhatsApp can boast almost four times as many monthly users as instant messenger rivals Kik, but the Canadian firm’s recent $50 million investment (http://www.techspot.com/news/61811-kik-now-valued-over-1-billion-after-50.html) from WeChat parent company Tencent may give it the financial muscle and resources to start mounting a serious challenge in the instant messenger market.

We take a lot of photos with our smartphones every now and then. Google Photos is one such app that saves your photos in the cloud server so you can delete them from your device to save up space. However, this standalone application has been updated for iOS that brings new options for sharing photos with your circle as well as a new feature that would take you down the memory lane in your past.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Google-Photos-635x522.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Google-Photos.png)
Google Photos version has been updated to v1.2 and comes with other tidbits that allows users to change cover pictures of their albums. Google Photos for iOS also hosts the usual round of bug fixes and performance enhancements so that the app may work fluidly, without lags or any sort of delays. Lets dig in detail about the features that are part of the Google Photos update.
Glance At Your Past With Google Photos Latest UpdateThe update offers a surprising feature that enable users to see olden photos from back in the days to relive those moments again. Google Photos show photos and videos that were taken on the same day a year back. Every time you open the app, the pictures from your past surfaces and probably takes you aback. The working of this feature resembles that of the Timehop and Everpix apps. In regard to this this exact feature, Google says, “If you snapped photos on a hiking trip this time last year, chances are that Google Photos will let you know.”
The opt-in feature is accessible through the Assistant under the menu button. Tap on it and see photos and videos from your past. A collage would also be available for some photos according to the people and places. The cards showing your past pictures would also features a tag that would show the date when the relevant pictures were taken along with additional information about people you were with. All of the photos and collages from past remains limited to you unless you opt to share it in your circle.

Sharing your photos and videos has been made simpler in the new update of Google Photos. Animations can now be directly uploaded to Facebook from simple steps and if you want to share your content on other social media or IM apps then it can simply be done using iOS’s share sheet that we’re all familiar with.

There's now an instant messaging app for use in the bathroom called 'Pooductive'

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/08/2015-08-21-image-4.jpg

A free iPhone app (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/pooductive/id984981341?mt=8) has been released that is designed for the three quarters of smartphone users who admit to using their device while in the bathroom. The aptly named Pooductive lets users chat and play games with individuals or groups of people who are also answering the call of nature.
The app originally started life as a kickstarter project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617178570/pooductive-app/description) earlier this year. Developer Ricardo Gruber was attempting to raise 10,000 Euros (about $11,276) with the following Pooductive pitch:

Think of it as a magic wonderland where ’pooducters’ from around the globe can anonymously meet to enjoy their time of zen, peace and quite together, by conversing, philosophising, playing games and sharing ideas with each other. You can add friends, have group chats or simply play 1 on 1 games. You could call it a messenger or gaming app if you want, but it’s so much more. It’s a community, made up of people who are all in the same position as you…pardon the pun.
Sadly, the campaign was cancelled after it only managed to raise 184 Euros ($207) from the three individuals who backed it. Despite not reaching its target, Gruber has now decided to release the iPhone chat app for free.
The app lets users set a local radius limit, allowing people to chat to any fellow bathroom dwellers nearby. It also comes with a global setting which gives access to Pooductive users around the world. The app boasts two main features: a button to send a pre-set “I’m wiping” message, and a menu that broadcasts a graphic desciption of a user's bathroom visit from a list of selectable song titles. Anyone wanting to leave the app just has to press flush.
http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2015/08/2015-08-21-image-6.jpg
Rather than being nothing more than a juvenile app, Gruber and Pooductive co-developer Marco Hernandez explained that they want to use their product to raise money (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/20/pooductive-messaging-app-two-stools) and awareness towards clean water and hygiene issues in developing countries.
“We hope to connect Pooductive with some big charities that focus on both clean water and improving hygiene in developing countries. We’re working as fast as we can to realise our mission and get the charities we have already connected to on board. We hope that through this, Pooductive can have a positive impact - past connecting people on the loo - which has always been our intention,” the pair said in an e-mail.
In a recent study of phone habits, 75 percent of those questioned admitted to surfing the web, using apps, e-mailng and texting while in the bathroom - with more than 90 percent saying they had answered calls. One in five men even said they have participated in conference calls.

How To Download And Play Final Fantasy 1 Absolutely FREE On iOS (Limited Time Only)

Here’s how you can download and play Final Fantasy 1 absolutely free on iPhone and iPad. The offer is for a limited time only and we recommend users to not hesitate if they want to make use of this epic chance of getting to grips with an insane classic.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Final-Fantasy-logo.jpg
Square Enix is an active mobile game developer, and having ported Final Fantasy VII (http://wccftech.com/final-fantasy-vii-finally-iphone-ipad-download/) to iOS just last week, it’s a clear sign that the company is not going easy when it comes to offering great titles on Apple’s mobile platform.
Apart from its solid titles, Square Enix is also known for charging epic prices for its games on both iOS and Android. But it’s a rare case that we would come across a price reduction from the company itself, and today seems to be a very different day as Square Enix is in the mood of giving, and that too for free. That’s right, Square Enix is giving gamers an opportunity to download and play Final Fantasy 1 on iOS absolutely free. But there’s a small catch to the whole thing – you can’t download the game directly from the App Store for safekeeping, but instead is available directly from Square Enix’s ‘Final Fantasy Portal’ app.
We’ll walk you through the procedure on how to play Final Fantasy 1 right through the Portal app.
Download And Play Final Fantasy 1 Absolutely FREE1. Download Final Fantasy Portal app from the App Store here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/final-fantasy-portal-app/id933149812?mt=8).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_0117.png
2. Once downloaded and installed on your iPhone or iPad, launch the app from your home screen.
3. Now look for the ‘Final Fantasy Limited-Time Free Download’ banner at the top. Refer to the screenshot below for more details. Once found, tap on it.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_0118.png

4. Now tap on the ‘Start Game’ button on the next screen.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_0119.png
5. Tap on ‘Purchase.’ Go on, it’s absolutely free and you won’t be charged a dime.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_01201.png
And that’s it, the game will start downloading and will be ready to play in a matter of few minutes.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_0121-635x357.png
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_01221-635x357.png
It’s also worth noting here that the game is not compatible with the non-Portal version of the title, so be sure to keep that in mind before proceeding. The game is available for an absolutely limited period of time, with the 31st of this month being the last day before which you can take full advantage of the offer. Users have to launch the Final Fantasy Portal app every time if they want to play the game.
If you’re a Final Fantasy fan, then we highly recommend that you bag up this gem right away and dive into the world of an epic classic.

Facebook ‘Moments’ App Now Available For Everyone Outside U.S.

Facebook debuted its Moments app back in June which was confined to U.S. borders alone at that time. The standalone app was an A.I.-infused service that allowed friends to connect with each other and share photos privately.
However, we have news that might interest you.
Facebook has rolled out an updated version of its Moments app which is not restricted to U.S. boundaries. Facebook also updated the version of its app to 2.0 that brings new changes to the fore which we will be telling you guys later on.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Facebook-Moments--635x406.jpg
Moments app matters a lot to Facebook since the company did not have enough luck trying to populate its apps in smartphones. Yes, Facebook Messenger was a hit, but remember Slingshot? Moments was a 2012 vision that developed into an app over quite a long time. Slingshot was a Snapchat-esque offering that failed to provide unique features for private photo sharing. Henceforth, Moments is another try by Facebook that aims to provide private photo sharing for users.
Let’s see how well does Moments perform with an updated version.

Transform Your Private Photos To Short Movies With MomentsFirst released on the App Store in June for selected regions, Moments allowed photo sharing and managing photos from private albums that other users can also contribute with their own photos. In the updated version of Moments, you can share a movie or a slideshow of your favorite moments to Facebook. The app will transform any private album consisting of at least six photos into a movie that can be shared on social media. The Moments app uses the face detection technology to group photos based on who is part of the shot and the time at which the image was captured.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Moments.jpg
Other improvements that are part of the update include an indicator that shows progress of photo uploads. Moments also comes with support for more countries and additional languages. The update also features bug fixes for improved performance and fluid interaction. The app takes up 69.4 MB of space and requires iOS 7 or higher to run.
We have no idea how users will react to a private photo sharing app that will post movie like slideshows to Facebook. This is because Facebook and private photo sharing do not go well together. However, the interpretation falls on users to judge the feasibility of photo sharing.
Download Moments (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moments-get-photos-you-didnt/id991346515) from the App Store and share your thoughts in the comments.

Instagram Adds Support For Landscape, Portrait Photos And Videos – Update Available Today

Instagram has today released version 7.5 of its famed app for mobile, which brings with it support for portrait and landscape photos and videos, giving users more freedom when it comes to snapping and uploading images to the social network.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Instagram-logo.png
Up till now since Instagram’s inception, users had to make do with square format images on the social network, and anything with a different aspect ratio required the image to be cropped or edited before it could be posted online.
But all of that changes today with the release of Instagram 7.5 for both iPhone and Android.
Instagram 7.5 Adds Support For Portrait And Landscape Photos At LastSupport for portrait and landscape photos is something which many users had been crying out loud for a long time, and today, Instagram has eventually delivered what the public had been waiting for.
Interestingly, Instagram hasn’t done a half-baked job here, and has even added support for landscape and portrait videos as well, so you can rest assured that all the bases are covered from the get go.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/111-635x555.png
From the Instagram blog:

It turns out that nearly one in five photos or videos people post aren’t in the square format, and we know that it hasn’t been easy to share this type of content on Instagram: friends get cut out of group shots, the subject of your video feels cramped and you can’t capture the Golden Gate Bridge from end to end. Now, when choosing a photo or video, you can tap the format icon to adjust the orientation to portrait or landscape instead of square.
From that paragraph alone it should become clear that the Facebook owned company has been keeping a close eye on what is being posted to its social network for a long time. And with Instagram having delivered on what the community had been asking for, it’ll no doubt open a new chapter to how we snap and share filtered images with our friends and family online.
The new and updated Instagram app is available to download today, and as ever, it’s absolutely free and has no hidden in-app purchases whatsoever. iPhone users can download the update from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252?mt=8), whereas Android users can grab the software from here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android&hl=en). If you already have the app installed on your device, then be sure to grab the update from the App Store or Play Store right away.
Be sure to let us know in the comments section what you think about the update and how it will change the way you take photos.

Direct Messenger For iPhone Is The Messaging App Every Twitter User Needs

Twitter dived into the world of ‘real’ instant messaging when it decided to remove the 140-character limit from Direct Messages. The microblogging site aims to get users more engaged amongst each other, while also hoping they’d ditch the likes of Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp etc. along the way, using Twitter Direct Messages as their ultimate port of call when the IM need arises.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Screen-Shot-2015-08-28-at-7.25.50-PM-635x391.png
But the problem with Direct Messages even right now is – it’s bloated and you have to make do with a full-blown Twitter client if you want to utilize it. Wouldn’t it be better if there was a dedicated app for it on the iPhone? Well, you’re in luck. We’ve come across a new, unofficial app that goes by the name of ‘Direct Messenger,’ which ties in nicely with Twitter’s chat system, and features absolutely no clutter at all.
Direct Messenger Is Not The App You Want. It’s The App You Need.The Direct Messenger app comes packed with a bunch of nice features, something which you’d expect from an instant messaging app right out of the box. For instance, there’s the option to send and receive photos on the fly. The developers even took the liberty to add sticker support into the mix to make your conversations even more lively than before.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/120-635x564.jpg
There’s also an option to review your Camera Roll photos right from the app, so you don’t have to worry about leaving the conversation at any point just to check out and find that one photo which you were wanting to send. And to make your conversations private as possible, the team behind Direct Messenger have intentionally left read receipts off, and you even have the option of sharing your location with someone when you’re near them, of course, you can opt out of it as well.
Direct Messenger also lets you send voice messages, if that’s the route of communication you wish to take while chatting away with your friends or family members.

On the design front, you’ll see similarities with the official Facebook Messenger app, which, quite frankly, is a good thing in our books, as things are kept minimal as possible while also being easy on the eye.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/310-635x564.jpg
Direct Messenger works just like how you would text from your phone, and the only thing you have to worry about is data charges. If you’re well covered in that regard, then we couldn’t recommend Direct Messenger any more to you.
It’s really that good.
You can download Direct Messenger from here (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1016344415), and is absolutely free. With great and wonderful functionality to boot, the app is a must-have if you’re a die-hard fan of Twitter’s Direct Messaging service.
Be sure to let us know in the comments section what you think about the app.

Adding a filter or two to a photo can actually boost the credentials of a snap by a huge margin. Granted, not everyone is a great photographer, and not everyone can afford the best smartphone with the top of the line camera, and that definitely doesn’t mean we can’t play tricks or games to cheat in the photo space by taking help from a couple of filters. If that’s what you’re aiming to achieve, then you’ve come to us on a very wonderful day.
Snapseedhttp://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Snapseed.jpg
Owned by Google, the app is an extremely powerful photo editor that is available for both the iPhone and iPad. With tons of great image editing tools and filters to boot, you can rest assured that your images will look great once you’re done giving them the touchups they need.

Google+ For iOS Updated With A New ‘Collections’ Feature

Usually, Google updates its apps on iOS first and then move it towards other platforms such as Android and the Web. However, when it came to the Collections feature in the Google+ app, Android users were the first to receive the update where iOS users were left out. Moreover, Android users have had this feature for a few months now. Finally, Google has considered updating the Google+ app with the Collections feature on iOS. The update arrived this morning on iOS and can be updated manually from the App Store.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/google-collections-ios-635x318.png
The Collections feature on Google+ is a distinct way of organizing your posts on the Google+ platform so your followers can view subjects that interest them. Before the update, users had to publish posts to different privacy levels, such as Public, Private or Circles. The Circle was a convenient option but with the arrival of Collections, sorting out subjects for audiences is facile.
Let’s see the new Collection feature in Google Plus on iOS in a little more detail.
View What Interests You With Google+ CollectionsThe topic filter for your audience is a great tool to target relevant information. Google+ users can use the Collections feature for topics that interest them. Apart from this, users can also follow specific topic Collections sorted out by their followers. This way you can view certain types of information shared by that user that interests you, filtering the remaining posts that are not up to your taste.

The Google+’s Collections feature has been in the long wait for its iOS departure. The fact that it arrived gives us a great way to start using the feature. You don’t have to do much to filter certain types of information. All you have to do is go to the profile of a person and tap on the Collections tab. In the Collection tab, follow or unfollow any topic you like. That’s it. It’s a great feature and we are glad that it has finally arrived for the iOS platform.
Many other websites have coined the notion that Google+ is dead. This is followed by the news that Google has continued to sway its Google+ requirements from other services. Even though Google+ integration with other services has been in an unstable position, it would not be wise to say that the platform is dead because a lot of active communities are still present.
This is it for now, share your thoughts in the comments.
You can Download Google+ (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google+/id447119634) app on the App Store for free.

How To Control Samsung Smart TV Using iPhone

Here’s how you can control your Samsung Smart TV using your iPhone for changing channels, volume and more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Samsung-Smart-TV-remote-635x367.png
If you take a second and glance at the technology we’ve come to witness and change in the past 20 years, then you’ll be surprised to learn how far we have progressed. From bulky CRT / projection TVs to ultra-thin LED displays, we really are living in the future if you think about it. And oh, how can we forget the trusty old remote which also saw a bit of an evolution over these years!
And speaking of the remote, all Samsung Smart TVs ship with their own, that’s a given fact. But, the best remote is the one which is always with you, right? Absolutely. And if you have a Samsung Smart TV, then did you know that you can use your iPhone as a remote for it? That’s right, with the official Smart View app for iOS, you’ll be in full control, right from your smartphone.
Controlling Your Samsung Smart TV From Your iPhone Is An Absolute Breezehttp://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12-635x557.jpg
There are two versions of the app available on the App Store – Smart View 1.0 and Smart View 2.0. Both are absolutely free, and the major difference between the two are the devices that they support, as version 1.0 caters to Smart TVs from 2011, 2012 and 2013. Whereas Smart View 2.0 will work with models from 2014 till date.
The full list of supported devices by Smart View 1.0 is as follows:

[Supported Devices]
– TV and AV(STB, BDP, HTS)
1. Remote Control
2011, 2012, 2013 Samsung Smart TV models
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 Samsung AV models (STB,BDP,HTS)
The full list of supported devices by Smart View 2.0 is as follows:

[Supported Devices]
– 2014 Samsung Smart TV H5500 and above, (Except for H6003/H6103/H6153/H6201/H6203).
– 2015 Samsung Smart TV J4500, J5500 and above, (Except for J6203/J6200)
As you can see above, pretty much every Smart TV model is covered, except for a few which are clearly mentioned. Apart from that, the Smart View app has a few interesting tricks up its sleeve. For instance, the 2.0 version of the app allows users to stream their TV channels right onto their iPhone. But keep in mind that this feature is not supported on all TVs.

The Smart View apps work over WiFi and requires both the iPhone and TV to be connected on the same network in order to work. Once you download and install the app and run it, Smart View will search for your TV over your wireless network, once found, the app will be required to be paired with your TV set. On your TV, you will be required to authorize the app. Once that’s taken care of, you’re all set to change channels, crank up the volume and more.
As we mentioned above, the apps are absolutely free and are available to download right now. Smart View 1.0 can be downloaded from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-view-1.0/id359580639?mt=8), whereas you can download Smart View 2.0 from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/samsung-smart-view-2.0/id858283863?mt=8).

Fix iPhone, iPad Apps Downloading Slow On WiFi Issue Once And For All

Apps and games downloading slow on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch while connected to WiFi? Then here’s how you can fix the issue right away and for good.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store-635x371.jpg
Despite having a speedy Internet connection at home, a lot of users around the world have faced the nasty issue of apps and games downloading painfully slow on their iPhones, iPads or iPod touches. The reason for that can be boiled down to one thing – the DNS service you’re using.
This writer, despite having a 20 megabit Internet connection at home, saw apps download at the speed of snail on his iPhone and iPad. To put things into perspective, an app or game sized around 50 to 70MB would take well over 10 minutes to fully download and install. That’s just awfully slow, and something that would put off a user instantly. But thankfully, there’s a fix, and it requires a little to no effort, and no more than 10 minutes of your time at best.
Changing Your DNS Address Can Significantly Boost Your App Store Download SpeedsThe fix is in the form of using a different DNS server address when you connect to your WiFi network. See, the thing is, not all DNS addresses work flawlessly. For example, with Google DNS being the best and fastest there is for Web browsing, but when it comes to downloading and streaming content from the App Store or the iTunes Store, things can get ridiculously slow. Also keep one thing in mind, Google’s DNS might work like a charm for the majority, but might fail to deliver for some users. In that case, you might want to opt for a different DNS service, and there are a lot out there to try out, and we’re gonna jot down all of our preferred services in a neat list below.

Google DNS – 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
Level 3 – 209.244.0.3, 209.244.0.4
OpenDNS – 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Comodo Secure DNS – 8.26.56.26, 8.20.247.20
Norton ConnectSafe – 199.85.126.10, 199.85.127.10
DNS Advantage – 156.154.70.1, 156.154.71.1

While there are many DNS providers out there, but these are the best and most renowned ones. In order to use these DNS addresses with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then simply follow our detailed guide posted here: How To Use Custom DNS Settings On iPhone, iPad (http://wccftech.com/custom-dns-settings-on-iphone-ipad/).
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/IMG_0020.png
Keep one thing in mind, not all of the above mentioned DNS addresses will work for everyone, so you have to try them out manually one after the other till you find the right one. And if a particular DNS suits your needs and has indeed boosted your App Store download speed, then we highly recommend that you integrate these DNS addresses directly into your WiFi router for a smoother overall experience.

ReBoard Brings Multitasking Capabilities In iOS Via The Keyboard

The arrival of iOS 8 brought a lot of productivity changes in the platform. However, it still lacks behind in productivity aspects when compared to other smart devices such as Samsung’s Note lineup. However, third-party developers have stepped forward to eliminate the gap. This is where the new ReBoard app kicks in. Rebound is a new keyboard designed for all devices running iOS that serves the purpose to enhance functionality beyond the stock iOS keyboard, letting users do more without switching between apps.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/1.jpeg
The ReBoard keyboard is developed by an independent Indian developer, Gursimranjeet Singh, who has packed all useful actions inside the keyboard so you don’t have to close the messaging app every time you need to copy a link or an image. The time wasted on switching between apps is saved and can be put to better use. This productivity keyboard app has all the essential features to be throned the most productive keyboard on the App Store.
The functionality still seems a little hazy, so let’s see some details for the Reboard Keyboard app.
ReBoard Keyboard For iOS Lets You Do Everything Without Switching AppsThere are many different aspects of the ReBoard keyboard that can be highlighted in terms of productivity. Ranging from multitasking to different types of themes, ReBoard is a complete package developed to satisfy users’ needs.
Multitask Via KeyboardMultitasking is one of the most important feature in ReBoard that allows users to find the desired information from within the keyboard without switching between apps. The multitasking included in the keyboard does not cast a split screen view, it merely opens several options and actions that are accessible via the command key. When users tap the dedicated command key, located beside the keyboard’s predictive key, a list of scrollable icons appear that showcase several actions. All you have to do is tap the command key and type what you’re looking for then tap the relevant icon that matches your request, such as the YouTube icon if you want to search for a specific video. You can search for other stuff as well, such as music and links.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/3.jpeg
Share Via KeyboardAnother versatile feature of the ReBoard keyboard depicts easy sharing of files via links from the Dropbox app, images from the web as well as images saved in the camera roll on your iOS device. It’s the way ReBoard keyboard is integrated with other apps on your device. You can even view maps and search for local places and share them with your friends. Nearly, each of the aforementioned actions involves multi-steps, but with ReBoard, you can do everything from within the keyboard.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/screen322x5721.jpeg

Yes, It’s A KeyboardSince ReBoard is basically a keyboard, it also features cool interactive ways for typing. The keyboard has full support for suggestive text and landscape mode. However, due to Apple’s strict policy, ReBoard cannot integrate with iOS’s stick dictionary. Predictive text can be disabled by a long press of the command key until a ‘Typing suggestions disabled’ message is displayed. ReBoard also has support for predictive emojis as well as the most relevant emojis according to the piece of text that you wrote. You can also move the cursor around using the space bar on your keyboard which is an easy way to get between clustered words. The keyboard provides a seamless experience which is easy to adapt.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/5.jpeg
Theme Your KeyboardFor those of you who wish to customize their keyboards, dropping some color, ReBoard features many different themes that users can choose from. You can also set your keyboard to show a different theme every time it appears. Each theme dwells a new experience so there is no way users can get bored. However, themes are part of the in-app purchases, charged at a mere 99 cents each.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/4.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/4.jpeg)
ImpressionsReBoard is a one of a kind keyboard which is packed with useful tools to enhance productivity and cuts down on switching apps, ultimately saving time.

ReBoard is a must-have for every chat fanatic user who like to share every kind of stuff with friends.

Mozilla Firefox Public Preview For iOS Now Available To Download

Mozilla Firefox Web browser (public preview) for iOS is now available to download. Since this is a public preview build, hence it’s available to a limited number of users.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Mozilla-Firefox-iOS-635x357.jpg
The browser is currently in its public preview form to gather feedback from the audience, and unluckily for a lot of users, it’s only available in New Zealand for now, and will be rolling to everyone later this year.
In this release, the marquee features of this build are as following, as per Mozilla itself:

Intelligent Search: Suggested search results and list of search options, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Twitter, Amazon and WordPress
Firefox Accounts: Firefox browser history, passwords and tabs from your desktop on your iPhone
Visual Tabs: A card-based grid of open tabs

Here are the official screenshots of the Mozilla Firefox browser running on an iPhone:
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/12.png

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/23-635x1098.png

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/32-635x1098.png

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/51-635x1098.png

Mozilla Firefox for iOS features support for Firefox Accounts, as mentioned above, which allows you to sync your browser tabs and history between different devices, including your passwords, which comes in handy if you happen to switch between gadgets a lot, making things as seamless as possible. Apart from that, Mozilla is also throwing in Visual Tabs into the mix, to give you a card style representation of all your open tabs. Lastly, there’s Intelligent search as well, which allows you to get search queries from different sources, as listed above.

If you do happen to download Firefox on iOS and have the intention to send Mozilla some valuable feedback, then here’s how you can do just that:

We want your feedback to help us make Firefox for iOS great. You can share feedback directly with us in the app. To do this, tap the numeric tab icon on the top right of Firefox for iOS, tap the “Settings” menu on the top left and go to “Support” to send your feedback directly to us.
It was back in December when plans were revealed regarding Mozilla’s big step to bring its famed Web browser to the iOS platform. Soon after, it was confirmed (http://wccftech.com/firefox-for-ios-confirmed/) officially that the company will be running a limited beta, subsequently leading to this day which sees the first ever preview release for iOS users, that too on a very limited scale.
If you’re residing in New Zealand then you can download Mozilla Firefox for iOS from this link (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id989804926). Rest of the users have to wait this one out as Mozilla is planning for a worldwide release later this year once they have gathered enough feedback.
Let us know in the comments section below what you think about this release, and how does it compare to the likes of other third-party browsers such as Chrome or Opera.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/flick-football-preview-635x550.png
For those of you who are new to this type of thing, we love to keep our regular readers updated with what’s good on the App Store.

Kick it old school! See for yourself why Flick Kick® Football is the soccer game that people simply can’t put down!
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/flick-kick-football-ios-preview-635x554.png

Below is the full list of outstanding features:

– Intuitive Flick Kicking – Sweep your finger across the ball to drive, curve and power the ball past walls of defenders
– Unique ‘Golden Era’ of Football Presentation – Immerse yourself in graphics that will bring the nostalgia of the era back
– GameCenter Leaderboards and Achievements – so the world can see how much of a better player you are than your friend
– Online Multiplayer and classic pass and play!
– Practice Mode, to get your game up to par
– Bullseye Mode, can you smash the targets?
– Arcade Mode, to show what you can do when it really counts
– Time Attack for those that like to race the clock, or with limited time for greatness

Next Is A Bold New iOS Keyboard With Innovative Control Features And More

iOS 8 gave third party developers the opportunity to develop custom keyboards. It has been a productive journey since then as a lot of apps have joined the race. A lot of features have been introduced in the new keyboards which enhance productivity as we know it. However, every now and then a new keyboard app is launched that contributes to many aspects of the keyboard, ranging from improved functionality to visual changes and more. A few keyboard apps such as Fleksy, Swiftkey and Swype are one of the few top names that are a milestone in the category. However, a new keyboard app emerged that has everything that a user wants and more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/nextkeyboard-masthead-720x340-635x300.jpg
The Next Keyboard app took a year to develop and by the looks of it, Tiny Hearts Studio has done a pretty good job. Apart from the standard features in the keyboard, Next has also introduced new innovative controls. It is possibly the best looking keyboard on the App Store.
Let’s see what the new Next keyboard has to offer and what sets it apart from other keyboards.
Next Is A Beautifully Designed Keyboard That Lets You Do EverythingOne of the most innovative features in the Next keyboard app is a quick cursor swipe. It enables you to swipe the cursor across text using the spacebar of the keyboard. So no need to hassle between words as the operation is very fluid and easy to use. Other than this, Next is pretty good at predicting text. It knows what to say and what words to suggest. On the other hand, next is also working on an update that will enhance its predictive engine.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Swipe.jpeg
There are a lot of greys on the stock iOS keyboard and if you want to play with some colors, the Next keyboard provides beautiful themes. The themes are unique with all sorts of colors to enhance your typing experience. The keyboard also possesses an optional ‘Show Case’ feature that shifts the letters from upper case to lower when you toggle it.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Themes.jpeg
If you ever feel lost in the conversation, Next offers up to 1400 different emojis to choose from. Yes, we know searching the right emoji would take you forever to reply so Next will suggest you the right one as you type. Moreover, the new keyboard app also offers a wide range of playful stickers to keep the conversation going.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Emojis.jpeg
The Next keyboard has a restricted access to your personal data so all of your data stays with you. The Next keyboard is a great addition to the list and it is both funky and productive at the same time. It enhances your typing experience and the changes are easy to adapt as well.
You can download the Next keyboard app from the App Store for $3.99. Share your thoughts about this new keyboard in the comments.

Use InstaTools To Zoom And Save Instagram Photos To Your Camera Roll

Instagram is one of the most trending social apps which received its biggest update a few days back. Instagram Direct (http://wccftech.com/instagram-direct-updated-improved-message-capabilities/) now enables users to send content from their feed to your friends directly. However, there are several limitations of the Instagram app that puts you off. One of the limitations that Instagram possess, is the inability to save photos and videos to your camera roll or share them with other apps.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/instatools1.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/instatools1.jpg)
However, if you are lucky enough to have a jailbroken device, there is a tweak that allows you to zoom and save photos or videos from Instagram to the camera roll of your iPhone. InstaTools can only save photos and videos from Instagram and no other apps.
Let’s see some more details for the new jailbreak tweak, InstaTools.
Zoom Instagram Photos With InstaToolsWith InstaTools, you will have the ability to save any photo or video from your Instagram feed to your camera roll. The tweak integrates with the Instagram app and adds two new buttons below the photo or video. The two new buttons are responsible for saving and sharing the photo or video with your friends using other apps.
The first button under the photo or video that shows a downward arrow is responsible for downloading or saving the photo or video. The button with an upward pointing arrow allows you to share your feed content with friends using other apps like, Dropbox, WhatsApp, Facebook and more. Apart from this, there is another feature that other Instagram tweaks lack.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/instatools2.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/instatools2.jpg)
InstaTools is also incorporated with a zoom feature. This is a pretty neat addition, as the Instagram app also lacks this functionality. Users can zoom in by repeatedly tapping the photo. The level of zoom depends upon the times you tap the photo. This allows users to take a closer look at the photo which the Instagram app won’t allow you to. It would be a welcome change in the app, as Facebook and other social network apps have this feature built in.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/instatools3.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/instatools3.jpg)
Once you have the app installed and running, there is no configuration required. Launch the InstaTools tweak and you are all set to start saving and sharing your photos and videos. Do take note that if you have other Instagram related tweaks running on your iPhone, InstaTools might conflict. The Instagram app may get stuck every now and then while scrolling though your news feed.
This InstaTools jailbreak tweak is absolutely free of charge and if you are interested enough, you can get it from Cydia as a package. The tweak works with the latest version v7.5 of Instagram. This is it for now, folks. Share your view about this new tweak in the comments.

Download: Apple Watch Clock Face Screen Saver For Mac OS X

If you’re looking to download an Apple Watch like clock face screen saver for your Mac, then we have just the thing for you today.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Screen-Shot-2015-09-07-at-7.12.17-AM-635x386.png
The Apple Watch comes with a variety of different clock faces, and each one is crafted for a precise, or appropriate, occasion. For example, if you’re feeling a bit sporty and want to go out for a run, then you might want to have the ‘Modular’ clock face on your Apple Watch. If you’re planning to go a bit formal, then ‘Simple’ and ‘Utility’ are the way to go. That’s all well and good till you start to realize that there are no such options on the Mac in the ‘time’ front, and would be great if there was.
That’s where a new screen saver comes in to save the day that takes deep inspiration from the Apple Watch.
If You Have An Apple Watch, Then Download This Screen Saver On Your Mac To Complement ItUnlike the Apple Watch, the screen saver doesn’t have variations, and instead relies on just one clock face, which is otherwise known as ‘Utility’ if you’re in the ownership of Cupertino’s new wearable. The clock face elegantly covers the display in all its glory once it kicks in, and goes pretty darn well with the overall aesthetics of Cupertino’s desktop OS.

Installation is very simple and easy. Just download the screen saver file itself, double-click on it and you’re done. Setting it up is an easy affair as well – simply right-click on your desktop, then select ‘Change Desktop Background,’ then subsequently click on the ‘Screen Saver’ tab at the top. Select the screen saver and set the timer from the bottom left hand corner.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Apple-Watch-Screen-Saver-635x635.jpg
Before you download the screen saver, do keep a few things in mind though. For starters, it’s an early release, therefore expect a few bugs around the corners during your usage. And if you’re expecting the screen saver to have a lot of clock faces like the Apple Watch, then you’ll be disappointed in that regard as well as there are extra variations in this current release, but they’re arriving in future builds so be on a lookout for that.
You can download the screen saver from this link (http://www.rasmusnielsen.dk/applewatch/). It’s absolutely free, and goes a long way in boosting the aesthetic credentials of the Mac.
If you do happen to download the screen saver, then do not forget to let us know in the comments section below what you think about it.

This iOS, Android App Lets Your Friends Or Family Members Walk You Home Virtually

The increase in street crimes is an issue of security and concern for students and pedestrians. Either on a walk home from work or a night out, no where is potentially safe. Considering this issue, a new Companion app has been developed by the students of Michigan University that enables users to never walk alone. The Companion app grants someone the ability to watch over you on your way home. The app has been adopted by many people across the globe and is catching some serious popularity.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Share-Location.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Share-Location.jpeg)

iPhone users can request a virtual presence of one of their friends or family members who can keep track of their location using GPS and make sure that the person reaches home without any trouble. The app aims to provide safety measures with someone watching over and some other features that would be useful in case of any problem.
Let’s dive in to see some more features of the Companion app and how it works to provide relevant security needs.
Never Walk Home Alone With Companion AppUsers can send multiple requests to friends and family members, just in case someone is unavailable. The pre-set friends or family members will receive a text message that would contain a URL which will redirect to an online map. The map would carry the location of the person with the Companion app.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Location.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Location.jpeg)

The app senses severe body movements like a push, running, falling down or having their headphones pulled out. The app will ask if the user is OK. If they are okay, users can just tap a button on the display within the next 15 seconds. However, if the button is not pressed, the app turns a persons smartphone into a siren that produces loud noises to frighten the offender away. In case there is a culprit, the app suggests calling the police with an easy button displayed on the screen.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/NO.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/NO.jpeg)
The app focuses on the needs of students and in case of an emergency, the University associated to the user will be notified as well as the virtual contact who is accompanying the user. Initially, the app was designed for U.S citizens, but due to popularity gains and requests from foreign countries, international members are now authorized to sign-up as well.
Since security holds no boundaries, the Companion app is available for both Android and iOS users. The app is available to download absolutely for free. Those of you who walk home from work, college or anywhere else, should definitely install the app. It keeps your associates or family members notified about your location and provides relevant help to keep law breakers out of reach. What do you guys think? Is this a necessary app for students? Share your thoughts in the comments.

everyStory Is A Photo Sharing App That Adds Sound To Your Photos

Gone are the days when people use to put their pictures in shoe boxes. Now, people have their smartphones connected with online storage services that save photos for a long time. However, our photos are still quite, no matter how much memories speak, the desire to hear the deceased or parted is a wish. This is where a new app kicks in that can attach sound to photos. The photo and sound are bound together to give pictures a life.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/11.jpeg)
The idea came from Dave Keene, who was about to be operated for a colon cancer inspection. He developed an app that featured audio attached to the digital photo album so his son could remember the voice of his deceased father. Luckily, Dave survived and so did the iOS app, everyStory. Dave worked to bring the cloud based app to the market.
Let’s see some more details on this new app that has to offer and how does it work.
Attach Any Sound To Your Photos With everyStoryeveryStory is a plain app that attaches a sound to your photos when you import them from your camera roll or even your computer. Since everyStory is a cloud based app, you can share the sound embedded photos with people you like. Moreover, once you share the photos with your family or friends, they too can add a recording or sound that suits with the photo. Other than this, users also have the ability to scan analog photos and apply sound effects.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2.jpeg)

The photos are collected in a form of digital album that has sound embedded in them. The major benefit of the everyStory app is that you do not have to sacrifice mobile storage in return for photos with sounds. All of your photos will be stored on a cloud based storage.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/31.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/31.jpeg)
everyStory is available on the App Store absolutely for free. However, cloud storage has different layers that come with a charge. Initially, users would get up to 500 photos without any cost. However, to unclock full access, the app charges a mere $3.99 per month. Furthermore, the everyStory app aims to provide additional storage space for 1,000 photos for users who install the app before the month of September ends.
SO if you want to save you memories with a pinch of dialogue or a sound piece to go with your photos, everyStory is the app you seek. This is it for now, folks. How did you like the idea to attach your sounds in a photo? Share your views in the comments.
Download everyStory for iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/everystory-record-voice-over/id990148261)

Radiation Island On iOS Goes Free For The First Time – Download It Here

There are innumerable games on the app store, but sadly the good ones cost a bit too much. However, if you are looking for a new game to play, do check out this new offering by IGN for the month of September. IGN’s Radiation Island is now available to download as Apple’s app of the month and it is going free for the very first time. However, you cannot just navigate to the App Store and download the game, there is a simple catch to it which we will be telling later on.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/19.jpg
Radiation Island, originally costs $3 and has been dropped down to as low as $1. Now it’s free game of the month for all iOS devices that includes the iPhone, iPad and the iPod Touch. The game has received an astounding 4.5/5 stars from more than 3,400 users. IGN’s Radiation Island is one of a kind game with cutting edge graphics and a storyboard that hooks the player for good.
Let’s ponder over some more details on IGN’s free app of the month, Radiation Island.
Radiation Island Is A Real Life Survival ExperienceThe premise of Radiation Island is to craft things for your survival needs. The plot deals in a Philadelphia Experiment in an ‘alternative, parallel’ reality’. Users have a huge area to explore where strange creatures and animals lurk to kill anything that’s not them. The mysterious world holds many surprises and puzzles that users would have to solve to move on. A lot of investigation and observation is required to advance forward in the game while keeping away from dangerous animals.
Real life circumstances would call for desperate measures like hunting, fishing or gathering fruits to vanquish hunger. Users also have the ability to mine and craft tools and weapons to keep wild animals away. Exploring the world would reveal hidden weaponry, firearms and other stuff that will be required to get along with hideous anomalies, raging zombies and jarring weather conditions. As we have mentioned earlier, the game boasts real life dilemmas, which means you will have to consider the time of day and night as well as cold and darkness.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/screenshot-2-big.jpg
Radiation Island is an amazing game with great attention to detail. The game has been optimized for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, as well as the current latest A8 processor. Users can save and share their progress in the game via iCloud support. AirPlay mode is also supported so if you’re lucky enough to own an Apple TV, you can play Radiation Island on a bigger display.
To download radiation Island, you need to visit IGN’s page (http://www.ign.com/prime/promo/radiation-island-free) and click on ‘Get Free Game’. This will prompt a code on the display. Then navigate to the App Store on your iOS device and at the very bottom, tap on ‘Redeem’. You will be asked to type the aforementioned code. Press ‘Done’ and Radiation Island will start downloading to your device automatically.
This is it for now, if you have successfully installed the game, let us know how you guys liked it.

Adblock Plus Launches Web Browser For iOS

http://cdn.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ad-block-cost.jpg
Recently, Apple announced plans to allow the use of ad-blockers on Safari for the very first time. Granted, this will only be available to users on the latest iOS 9 release, but Eyeo, the company behind AdBlock Plus has pre-emptied this revelation with its own browser designed to detect and block “annoying adverts”. According to the development team, the project has been in production for some time:

“We’ve been developing Adblock Browser for months, long before Apple made the announcement about iOS 9,”
Adblock’s app is a custom-variant of the Kitt browser (http://www.kitt.com/) which gives developers the tools to create a huge scope of unique software. By default, only extremely intrusive adverts are blocked but users can manually select all adverts to be hidden. The advent and acceptance of ad-blocking software on iOS was only a matter of time as consumers can already employ a number of blocking extensions on Android (http://www.eteknix.com/adblockock-plus-coming-android-device/).
Research (http://blog.pagefair.com/2014/adblocking-report/) indicates Adblock’s usage is on the rise and grew by nearly 70% between June 2013 and June 2014. Unfotunately, there’s no concrete data which clearly outlines the percentage of web users installing Adblock. Some studies predict around 10% whilst others have recorded a much higher figure.
Consumers feel the need to use Adblock because of intrusive adverts. However, websites depend on ad-sense to pay for equipment, writers and make their content a professional, full-time job. There needs to be a balancing act where adverts are permitted but done in a very subtle way without detracting from the core content.
Do you use Adblock?
Thank you Venturebeat (http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/08/adblock-plus-officially-arrives-on-ios-and-android-via-a-standalone-browser/) for providing us with this information.

Download: Paper App For iPhone By FiftyThree Now Available

After initially dropping a small teaser (http://wccftech.com/paper-by-fiftythree-for-iphone-coming-soon/) more than couple of weeks back, FiftyThree has today released its famous Paper app for the iPhone. And as ever, it’s absolutely free to download, and we’ve got all the details right here.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Paper-for-iPhone-635x318.jpg
There are countless drawing and doodling apps available on the iOS App Store, with plenty of them offering features that go way beyond an average person’s requirements and aim directly at the professionals among us. But at times, we need a solution that’s minimal down to its core and gets the job done so well that you don’t even have to raise a finger, figuratively speaking. And Paper app by FiftyThree falls into that category, which is powerful to the core and extremely easy to use.
Now that the title has made its way to the iPhone, here’s what you can expect to get once you download it on your smartphone:

Swipe-to-style notes
Swipe on text to quickly create and rearrange checklists and headers. The fastest way to capture notes.
Photo Spotlighting
Tap on photos to instantly spotlight a detail, or draw custom areas. Write notes and draw on photos.
Powerful tools
All of Paper’s world-class tools to draw, sketch, annotate photos, and quickly create diagrams.
Fresh perspective
Organize and make connections between your ideas in Paper’s beautiful, visual home.

Communicate clearly
Paper creates beautiful PDFs, Keynote and Powerpoint files to share your ideas.
As you can see from the App Store description above, Paper for iPhone is packed to the gills with all the features you’d expect on the iPad version but goes a little beyond as well at the same time.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/114-635x560.jpg
You have the option to swipe to style notes, which allows you to swipe over text, rearranging checklists and headers on the fly. Then there’s Photo Spotlighting, that allows users to tap on a photo to instantly spotlight a detail, and you can even draw custom areas if you so wish.
And like its iPad counterpart, the iPhone version comes with a set of powerful tools that allow you to draw, sketch, create diagrams and annotate photos on the fly. There’s a lot more where that came from and we’ll leave it to our readers to explore the rest.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/36-635x560.jpg
As we mentioned above, Paper by FiftyThree is an absolutely free download for the iPhone. And the best part is that the app is universal, which means if you’ve already downloaded Paper on your iPad, then you can simply head over to the Purchased section in the App Store to grab it right away, without having to download something new. One app that works across all devices, that’s the new Paper by FiftyThree.
If you haven’t downloaded Paper by FiftyThree already, then you can do so from this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id506003812).

256 iOS apps outed for privacy violations, to be removed from store

Researchers have discovered there are 256 apps on the App Store that have found their way around Apple's vetting process and violated privacy rights. All of them use the Chinese-developed Youmi SDK. In total, approximately one million people use the apps in question.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/8/48066_1_256-ios-apps-outed-privacy-violations-removed-store.jpg

256-ios-apps-outed-privacy-violations-removed-store_1 To be clear, the developer of any of these apps is not necessarily to blame at all. It appears Youmi is the one interested in acquiring your data, and has insidiously worked gathering tools into its development kit, thereby attempting to cover its tracks and pass the blame onto developers, should the scheme be uncovered. Nate Lawson, founder of security analytics startup SourceDNA (which uncovered the violations), says this is "definitely the kind of stuff that Apple should have caught." Apple commented on the matter, saying the offending apps will be removed, and Youmi will be banned: "We've identified a group of apps that are using a third-party advertising SDK, developed by Youmi, a mobile advertising provider, that uses private APIs to gather private information, such as user email addresses and device identifiers, and route data to its company server. This is a violation of our security and privacy guidelines. The apps using Youmi's SDK will be removed from the App Store and any new apps submitted to the App Store using this SDK will be rejected. We are working closely with developers to help them get updated versions of their apps that are safe for customers and in compliance with our guidelines back in the App Store quickly." The incident follows recent news of other privacy violating apps, so it seems Apple's much lauded App Store isn't as pristine as once thought. One would hope the company will take these opportunities to beef up its vetting process and restore its reputation.

Apple’s Free App Of The Week Is Dr. Panda’s Mailman ($3.99 Regular)

It’s that time of the week again where Apple takes the wraps off its free App of the Week in which it brings forth a paid app or game which can be downloaded for free. This week’s honor goes to Dr. Panda’s Mailman, which usually goes for $3.99 on a regular day over at the App Store. Complete details about the title and download link can be found at the foot of this post.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/119.jpg
Till next week, users of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch can download Dr. Panda’s Mailman absolutely free, courtesy of Apple. The game, aimed towards children, lets you take control of a Panda, who is a mailman, and you have to guide him through a vast open world, delivering mail in a truly interactive environment.
From the App Store:

Be a postman and deliver mail as you explore a huge, interactive world!
Take hold of the handlebars and get ready to ride in Dr. Panda’s Postman! Explore a world filled with mountains, houses, rivers, forests and more as you deliver mail to over 10 animals—all with their own unique personalities! Create your own postcards, make sure the packages are wrapped up, and bring them wherever they need to go!
The game is absolutely stunning in the sense that it’s truly a majestic experience for children, where they drive through a landscape that has no rules whatsoever. The developers behind the title have forged the title in such a way that it ‘encourages imagination.’

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/23.jpg
In the game, there are a total of four big areas you can stroll over, where a mountain, village, forests and fields are the order of the day. The developers even took the courtesy of tossing in 10 unique animals into the title as well, each with having ‘habits and schedules’ of their own.
Dr. Panda’s Mailman also allows children to paint their very own postcards and create their own packages as well. As we mentioned before, the game has no rules whatsoever, and you have the complete freedom to roam around the way you like.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/37.jpg
Like we mentioned above, the game is free to download till next Thursday, after which the title will return to its original price. Keep in mind that once you’ve downloaded the game onto your device, it will sit in your purchases and you’ll continue to receive updates in the future.
You can download Dr. Panda’s Postman from this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dr.-pandas-mailman/id918035581?mt=8).

Backdoor Found In Popular iOS Ad Library Used By Thousands Of Apps

Mobile security researchers from FireEye recently discovered a backdoor in a popular Chinese ad library used by thousands of apps that were also published on Apple's App Store. Advertising networks that don't tend to be security conscious seem an easy target for malicious hackers who want to quickly spread their malware to millions of users at once. This practice has been so effective it has even gotten its own name: "malvertising."
According to FireEye, the backdoor could be controlled by loading Javascript code from a remote server to perform the following actions on an iOS device:

Capture audio and screenshots
Monitor and upload device location
Read/delete/create/modify files in the app's data container
Read/write/reset the app's keychain (e.g., app password storage)
Post encrypted data to remote servers
Open URL schemes to identify and launch other apps installed on the device
“Side-load" non-App Store apps by prompting the user to click an “Install" button

By the looks of it, the attackers could gain virtually complete access over an iOS device simply by compromising the "mobiSage" ad library from the advertising company, adSage. The company has offices in the U.S. and claims it reaches 90 percent of the mobile users in China.
FireEye found the backdoor code in 2,846 iOS apps and in the mobiSage SDK, versions 5.3.3 to 6.4.4. It also found that the backdoor is not present in the latest 7.0.5 version. The company observed 900 attempts to contact a remote server that could deliver Javascript code to control the backdoors.
In their research, FireEye employees couldn't see any malicious command that would trigger the most dangerous capabilities such as capturing audio or stealing sensitive data. However, the capabilities that can do all of that are still in the apps that contain the backdoored code and could be used at any time.
This isn't the first time iOS apps were infected with malware that could bypass even Apple's review process and land in the App Store. The last time, the attackers infected a build of Apple's Xcode (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-app-store-app-malware,30123.html) in order to further infect the apps that were built with it.
What these latest attacks on iOS apps have in common is that they originate in China and that they happen through infected software developer kits that help spread the infection when the developers use them. This is a type of attack we may see increasingly more often if Apple doesn't take some kind of measure against it or reviews code that is used by thousands of iOS apps much more carefully.

FireEye contacted Apple on October 21, 2015 about this issue and gave it all the technical details and the list of infected applications.

Rayman Fiesta Run Is Apple’s Free App Of The Week ($2.99 Regular)

Running titles are aplenty on the App Store and while some of them are better than the others, Rayman Fiesta Run is one game which takes the crown in a whole lot of ways. For starters, it features a character from the gaming world which many can associate with their childhood, making it an awesome classical download, but at a small price of course. But thankfully, courtesy of Apple, you can grab Rayman Fiesta Run absolutely free for one whole week, saving you $2.99 in the process.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/32-635x357.jpg
Rayman Fiesta Run is a followup to the classic game Rayman Jungle Run which was released back in 2012, which also happens to be the winner of App Store Best of 2012 as well.
From the App Store:

Join legendary platforming hero Rayman for a new adventure on your favorite mobile device!
If you enjoyed Rayman Jungle Run, winner of the App Store’s BEST of 2012, you will love Rayman Fiesta Run and its new wacky Fiesta world! Lunge for cocktail umbrellas, leap on limes and punch those piñatas…the sky’s the limit!
Having garnered rave reviews from big publishers over time, Rayman Fiesta Run is a must have mobile game if you’re asking us. And having gone free only once before today, it’s great to see that Apple has taken a big initiative to bring a massive classic title to users, that too for free.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2-635x357.jpg
Although Rayman Fiesta Run is absolutely free for one whole week, with the sale ending next Thursday, there are known moments where users forget to bag up offers put up by Apple. So, if you’re reading this, put everything aside and take the liberty tap on this link right here (https://itunes.apple.com/app/rayman-fiesta-run/id657811530?mt=8). Once done, simply download the game onto your device which won’t take more than a few minutes at most. Once this offer is gone, you’ll be required to pay up $2.99, something which many users don’t like doing on a regular basis.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/18-635x357.jpg
On the compatibility front you’ll be pleased to learn that Rayman Fiesta Run is a universal game, which means that one single download will make it work across all of your devices with any screen size – iPhone, iPad, iPod touch. Furthermore, the game requires you to be running at least iOS 7.1 on your device otherwise it simply won’t work.
Fullfil all those requirements? Then what are you waiting for? Get download and let us know what you think about Apple’s freebie for this week. Did you download it right away?

Google Maps Update For iOS Brings Spoken Traffic Alerts Months After Android Debut

If you use Google Maps (http://hothardware.com/tags/google-maps) on your iPhone (http://hothardware.com/tags/iphone) device, head to the App Store and download the latest update, version 4.12.0 (if you don't have it already). The latest release brings parity with the Android version by introducing spoken traffic alerts, a small but sometimes extremely helpful feature for motorists.

When you're in navigation mode, the spoken traffic alerts feature will give you a heads up to things like traffic congestion, incidents on your route that might prompt you to find a different path towards your destination, and various traffic descriptions. It will do all this before you start driving so you don't get stuck in gridlock.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/35618/content/Google_Maps_iOS.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/35618/content/Google_Maps_iOS.jpg

This subtle yet highly useful feature has been available to Android device owners for the past couple of months, and now that same courtesy extends to iOS. It's also one of the most popular features in Waze, a mapping application that Google bought in 2013 (http://hothardware.com/news/google--waze-deal-being-eyed-by-the-ftc) for a cool $1.1 billion. However, the two apps go about things a little differently -- Waze relies on a community of drivers to provide traffic updates, whereas Google Maps will tap both users of the app and traffic services for accuracy.

It will be interesting to see if Google ends up combining Waze and Google Maps at some point or if it continues to update them separately, as it's been doing. That includes a recent major update to Waze, now in version 4.0, that introduced a new design and improvements to battery life.

As for Google Maps, the latest version also introduces the ability to add new and missing businesses from the sidebar, and includes several "bug fixes," according to Google's description of what's new.

Mozilla’s Firefox Browser Is Now Available For Download On The App Store

Most users have trouble using the iOS’ stock Safari browser, leading them to shift to the best alternative, Google Chrome. However, Mozilla had been testing its browser publicly for the iOS platform for as long as September. Now, users with an iOS device have the ability to download it right away from the App Store. Chrome and Firefox are best alternatives for desktop browsers as well, however, the latter was short on its personal iOS app.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screen322x572.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screen322x572.jpeg)
The release of Firefox is good news for all users who failed to join the beta test programs. Mozilla greatly emphasized on user feedback as Firefox for iOS was released using test phases which were enlarged periodically with improvements. Mozilla already has a lot of competition in the App Store, rivalling the likes of Google Chrome as well as the stock iOS Safari browser which is used as a default in most of the apps.
Since Fireox browser is now here, let’s see what it has in store for users and how does it stack up against its competitors.
Mozilla Lands Its Firefox Browser On The App Store Primarily, the Firefox browser is oriented towards users, which also comes with support for Firefox accounts. The account integration enables users to sync their bookmarks, tabs, passwords and browsing history to the mobile platform. This is a one step process which has eased things for Mozilla users. However, the Firefox browser is not limited to its desktop users alone, Mozilla expects other users will also make a shift, followed by some pretty cool features.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screen322x572-2.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screen322x572-2.jpeg)

Some of the most appealing features of the Mozilla Firefox browser for iOS are the ‘visual’ tab management system, its prediction and incognito browsing, which will possibly attract other users. The Firefox browser on iOS is pretty fast and productive, however, it has very little difference from other browsers as a whole. If you are looking to make a shift, the choice narrows down to design, small enhancements for fluid operations and convenience.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screen322x572-3.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/screen322x572-3.jpeg)
If we consider shifting to Firefox on an aggregate scale, users with highly integrated ecosystem with all the extensions and bookmarks would find it difficult to make a move. However, it is definitely not worth skipping a try. There are features to lure in users and they might be the reason to make a shift.
As for now, do give Mozilla Firefox for iOS a whirl and let us know in the comments how you liked it and what do you mark as a standard in mobile browsers to make it your daily driver.

YouTube Music Has Officially Been Launched For Both Android And iOS

After announcing (http://wccftech.com/google-launches-youtube-red-adfree-subscription-easy-wallet/) YouTube Red, another service that has officially been launched for two of the most popular mobile platforms in the world is YouTube Music. Google is aiming to diversity its wide range of services and it looks like the tech giant believes that listening to audio clips is one way to do it.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/YTmusic_Android_Home-1-980x1687-635x1093.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/YTmusic_Android_Home-1-980x1687.jpg)
Google And YouTube Attempting To Make It Easier For Artists To Get Exposure With The New Application According to the official blog of YouTube, the video streaming platform and Google have made artists able to gain significant amounts of notoriety by uploading their videos and gaining overnight fame. This exposure has also allowed both YouTube and Google to pay out more than $3 billion USD to the record industry so far in order to bring music streaming up to this level. According to the official blog of YouTube, the following has been stated concerning YouTube Music:

“But we want to do even more to support artists and all the fans who turn to YouTube to discover music, so we’re making the experience even better with a brand new YouTube Music app. With YouTube Music, you’ll get a completely new type of experience, designed to make discovering music on YouTube easier than ever.”
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/YTmusic_Android_Explore-1-980x1687-635x1093.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/YTmusic_Android_Explore-1-980x1687.jpg)

The application for both Android (download from here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.youtube.music)) and iOS (download from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/youtube-music/id1017492454?ls=1&mt=8)) is very simple to use, according to the information stated. It will be able to give you complete access to one of the richest music catalogs on earth. Users will be able to find music videos, tracks, artists and albums, and in addition to this, they will also be able to see all the remixes, covers, lyric videos and concert footage that the video streaming service has to offer.

<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c6hoSqFU6Ko" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Users who want to augment their YouTube Music ever further can do so with a YouTube Red membership. With YouTube Red, they will be able to enjoy their favorite music tracks without those pesky ads getting in the way of their experience. Furthermore, the added advantage of being a subscriber to YouTube Red is that you will finally be able to listen to music offline and switch effortlessly between video or audio-only sessions.
YouTube Music is free for a period of two weeks, which we believe is an ideal start for users to get acclimatized to the new service. Download the application for either your Android or iOS powered device and let us know what you thought about Google’s latest service.

WhatsApp Updated With Support For 3D Touch Features And More

iOS 9 was launched a few months back, bragging a bevy of changes in the visual department as well as performance. Moreover, its integration with 3D Touch, found on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, just makes things progressing. Innumerable apps have since been updated with support for 3D Touch, however, the gigantic internet messaging platform, WhatsApp remained short of utilizing the technology.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/whatsapp-voice-calling-635x307.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/whatsapp-voice-calling.jpg)
Today, the Facebook-owned WhatsApp issued an update for its iPhone application, highlighting support for 3D Touch. Apart from this new feature, WhatsApp update brings changes in the visual changes as well, which we will talk about later on.
WhatsApp Updated With 3D Touch Features, Revamped Settings Tab And More 3D Touch is a hub for many operations like Peek and Pop and Preview. WhatsApp update for iPhone now enables iPhone 6s or 6s Plus users to take advantage of this feature. The Peek and Pop in WhatsApp is an easy way to sneak peek a chat by firmly pressing on the display, pressing it a little harder will Pop up the entire chat, allowing you to reply to a certain message. The feature is amazing as well as pretty useful at times.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12242094_10201059466445469_401724919_n.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12242094_10201059466445469_401724919_n.jpg)
Moreover, 3D Touch’s Preview option is part of the update as well. Any links you receive in your WhatsApp chat can now be previewed in the form of a miniature window. When you gently press the link in your WhatsApp chat, you will receive a rich content preview from the source. However, you also have the availability to turn the rich previews off.

In the visual department, the update brings a revamped colorful layout in the WhatsApp’s Settings tab. The options look more visually distinguishable, and more satisfying. Before the update, WhatsApp’s Settings tab looked pale with straightforward options. This is definitely a better change and stands out compared to the previous version.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12242279_10201059469085535_1882307411_n.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12242279_10201059469085535_1882307411_n.jpg)
An important part of WhatsApp’s update is the accumulation of starred messages in one place. The starred messages can be accessed from the Settings. Starred messages in WhatsApp allow users to pin or start important messages which can easily be viewed at a later time.
Considering the availability of WhatsApp, it requires iOS 6.0 or higher. The WhatsApp app comes with support for a lot of languages, including English, Arabic, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek Italian and a lot more.
This is it for now, folks. Share your thoughts in the comments.

This iPhone case doubles as a virtual reality viewer (http://www.kitguru.net/channel/generaltech/matthew-wilson/this-iphone-case-doubles-as-a-virtual-reality-viewer/)

Virtual reality is growing and there is a big push for it on smartphones, thanks to products like the Samsung GearVR and the Google Cardboard. The YouTube app even supports virtual reality headset viewing from smartphones now, something that Figment is looking to help push with its iPhone case, which doubles as a pair of VR lenses for viewing.
The Figment VR is a soft-touch iPhone 6 case, which will work with a bunch of VR demo apps, which can be found on the App Store. It will also work with YouTube’s new features and the Google Cardboard if you don’t fancy holding the phone up to your face every time you want to watch something.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/d9fc46eeeeb7cfb7c39439a80a25a3c9_original.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/d9fc46eeeeb7cfb7c39439a80a25a3c9_original.jpg)
The case itself is part plastic and part aluminium, so it should be pretty durable. It will add quite a bit of extra thickness to your device though. The VR lenses pop out and sit in place with a flip motion and locks in to place with two circular plastic tabs. The case is currently on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/quantumbakery/figment-vr-virtual-reality-in-your-pocket), looking to raise $75,000, which seems likely, as it has already raised close to $20,000 at the time of writing, with 56 days left to go.
The case itself will cost $89, though there is a limited supply of early bird deals. Right now, the case is being pitched for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+, though an Android version is also being worked on at the moment.

<header> QNAP Releases Qphoto Mobile App for iOS, Customizing User Interface for iPad and Supporting CloudLink for Easy Remote Access

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/qphoto_app_ios.jpg (http://www.hardwareheaven.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/qphoto_app_ios.jpg)
QNAP® Systems, Inc. today released the Qphoto mobile app for iOS®, allowing users to conveniently browse, upload, download and share photos stored on a QNAP NAS with their iPhone or iPad devices on the go.
Qphoto includes various ways for managing photo collections. Users can quickly search for photos by dates or tags, flexibly browse photos and videos via timeline, thumbnails, lists and folders, instantly upload/download media to/from a QNAP NAS, and easily share photos by email or social networks.
The new Qphoto for iOS uniquely provides a customized design for vertical and horizontal layouts on iPad. “It is convenient to use an iPad with the vertical display while being easy to browse content in a horizontal view,” said Cherry Chen, product manager of QNAP. “Qphoto’s customized user interface can bring the best browsing experience for users no matter what display orientation theyuse their iPad with.”
Qphoto for iOS adds support for the CloudLink remote access service, allowing users to easily browse photos and videos on their QNAP NAS when away from home or office.“We have received significant feedback from iOS users hoping to use the CloudLink service, and we are happy to add this feature when releasing the new Qphoto mobile app,” added Chen.
The new Qphoto supports iOS devices with iOS 7 (and newer). To fully enjoy Qphoto’s complete features, users must upgrade their QNAP NAS firmware to QTS 4.2 (or newer) and install Photo Station (version 5.0 or newer) from the QTS App Center.

Apple Is Working On A Support App For iOS – Leaked Screenshots

According to a leaked set of screenshots, Apple is apparently working on a dedicated support app for iOS, allowing users to get easy support from Apple staff on a number of issues.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Apple-Support-635x362.jpg
Apple provides the best support there is in the industry for its lineup of devices, and to take things even further, it appears as though the company is going to launch a dedicated support app for iOS powered devices, allowing users to get troubleshooting tips, chat with an Apple advisor and a whole lot more.
The leaked screenshots of the app, leaked by Sonny Dickson to uSwitch Tech are as follows:
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/126.jpg
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/214.jpg
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/316.jpg

The way the support app will work is no rocket science and is tied with a user’s Apple ID. Once you’re signed in, all your devices tied with that particular ID are then listed, giving you access to pre-defined set of troubleshooting tips.
Currently it’s not clear exactly when the app will be released, or whether or not the app will be a part of the Apple Store app. There’s also a possibility that the app could be a part of iOS itself, in other words – more bloatware. But given the amount of hate companies usually get when it comes to such things, it’s highly likely that Apple will pursue the route of incorporating the support functionality into its existing Apple Store app for iOS. But of course, that’s just speculation.
Speaking of bloatware, iOS 9 comes packed with a bunch of apps from the get-go which users cannot remove. But interestingly, Tim Cook hinted at the fact that his company is looking into (http://wccftech.com/tim-cook-apple-looking-at-letting-users-delete-stock-ios-apps/) allowing users to remove certain apps, specifically those that are not crucial to the functioning of iOS, such as Messages, Clock etc. When this notion will bear fruit is anyone’s guess, but given that iOS 10 is set for an announcement at WWDC in June, it’s likely that Apple will take the stage to announce such feature, hence don’t expect it to arrive as part of iOS 9 just yet.
Coming back to the support app, it’s absolutely great to learn that Apple is working to bring such a service right to an iOS device, allowing users to troubleshoot issues on the fly without having to go through much fuss. All that remains to be seen is when the app / feature will arrive to our iOS devices.
We’ll keep our readers updated on more news regarding this as it arrives so stay tuned to our round the clock coverage.

You Can Download Geekbench 3 For iOS Absolutely Free – Direct Link

Geekbench 3 by Primate Labs for iPhone and iPad has gone free over at the App Store and you can grab it right away.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store-635x371.jpg
The Ultimate iPhone, iPad Benchmarking App Has Gone Free For A Limited Period Of Time When it comes to benchmarking apps on the iPhone and iPad, the first name that comes to mind is Geekbench. Having been available on the iOS platform for a long, long time, Geekbench covers all the bases to give you a rating of a device when it comes to performance, battery life, and whatnot.
From the App Store:

Geekbench provides a comprehensive set of benchmarks engineered to quickly and accurately measure processor and memory performance. Designed to make benchmarks easy to run and easy to understand, Geekbench takes the guesswork out of producing robust and reliable benchmark results.

If you have an iOS device at hand and want to know detailed performance stats about it, then Geekbench is the way to go. From single to multi-core performance analysis to what sort of hardware your iOS device packs (processor name, RAM, memory etc.) you can rest assured that Geekbench won’t disappoint in any way possible.
The Geekbench 3 app is currently available for free for a limited period of time on iOS, which otherwise carries a price tag of $0.99 on a normal day. While the retail price of the app isn’t going to break your bank at all, but nothing beats the good old price of zero in any case.
There are two ways you can grab the app and download it onto your device. The first route involves firing up the App Store on your iPhone or iPad then search for ‘Geekbench 3.’ The second method is far more convenient, and it involves you simply tapping on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geekbench-3/id683676887?mt=8) to get the ball rolling.
Geekbench 3 is optimized for iPhone and iPad and runs on both devices absolutely natively, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues one bit. We highly recommend that you give the app a download, even if you don’t plan to use it, as it’s a great tool to benchmark your device and compare with other in terms of where it stands.
If you do happen to give Geekbench 3 a download, which we’re certain you would, then do not forget to let us know about it in the comments section below, and whether or not the app proved to be helpful in any way. We love to hear back from our awesome readers!

Fern Is A Simplistic App Launcher For Jailbroken iPhones

If you’re looking to tweak your iOS device, we suggest you start with an app launcher. Fern is a new jailbreak tweak with a simplistic design that does what every app launcher has in store. However, its minimalist design stands out above others.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Cydia-Jailbreak-Tweaks-635x382.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Cydia-Jailbreak-Tweaks.jpg)
Fern jailbreak tweak is compatible with iOS 8 and iOS 9 devices. It can be accessed via the Activator gesture which users would have to assign. There are two different views in the Fern app launcher, Favorites and App. Each view can be customized according to your preferences.
SO let’s dive in to see some additional details on the customization abilities of the jailbreak tweak and how can users make use of it.
Fern Lets You Hide Certain Apps From The Interface Once you have downloaded and installed the tweak, navigate to the Settings app to assign the Activator gesture. Assigning the Activator gesture will invoke the app launcher. Once you do this, open the Fern app launcher via your assigned gesture. Doing this would direct you to the aforementioned views. Performing the swipe gesture would allow you to switch between the Favorite and App view.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fern.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fern.jpg)
Advertisements

The next step narrows down to adding your desired apps in the Favorite view. To do that, go to the Apps view and press and hold the App that you want to add. Repeat the procedure to remove apps from the Favorite view. Adding and removing apps from the Favorite view is fairly simple. So you can add or remove any app at any time with ease in case your preferences change over time.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fern-2.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fern-2.jpg)
The best thing about the app launcher tweak is that you can change the way it looks. You can adjust the look of the tweak via the preferences found in the Fern’s settings. For both views you can change the interface look. You have the availability to change background darkness, enable or disable the blur effect and choose between a grid view or a list view.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fern-3.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Fern-3.jpg)
Fern also provides users with the ability to hide certain apps. This feature might come in handy if your device changes hands quite often. Therefore, the apps would not appear on the launcher interface. The Fern jailbreak tweak is charged at a mere $1.99. The tweak is totally worth it if you’re looking away from the stock iOS layout.
As for now, give the Fern jailbreak tweak a shot and share your experience in the comments.

Ofcom launches Wi-Fi checker app for Android and iOS

Ofcom has launched (http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/news/ofcom-launches-wifi-checker/) an app that will let you know if your Wi-Fi is at fault in slowing down your home broadband experience. The app, which has been made available for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samknows.InHomeTest&hl=en_GB) and iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ofcom-wi-fi-checker/id1041885941?mt=8), runs a series of performance tests and diagnostics then suggests broadband speed optimising tips.

<iframe width="700" height="394" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gz-v-hIezXk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

As the video above explains, while there are lots of variables that can affect the broadband speeds achievable to their property, many boradband customers don't get the optimal speeds within their property. Ofcom estimates (http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/news/ofcom-launches-wifi-checker/) that "wireless broadband may not be working as well as it could in nearly six million UK homes and offices". That's about one in five Wi-Fi broadband connection setups. A major contributor to the suboptimal in-home speeds is down to interference from other electrical devices in your home.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/12/4df804c8-c151-40a0-b95b-d146b894fd17.jpg
The app looks for a significant drop in performance between your broadband connection and your home Wi-Fi network and puts forward recommendations depending upon its test results. Suggestions will include the following:

Move your router away from electrical devices: Halogen lamps, electrical dimmer switches, stereo or computer speakers, fairy lights, TVs and monitors and AC power cords have all been known to cause interference to broadband routers. Keep your router as far away as possible from other electrical devices as well as those which emit wireless signals such as baby monitors etc.
Move your router to a different part of your home: The walls and furniture in your house act as an obstacle to the Wi-Fi radio frequencies. Ideally routers should be kept centrally within the home and placed on a table or shelf rather than on the floor
Try restarting your wireless router: This may automatically select a less busy Wi-Fi radio frequency.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect directly to your router: An Ethernet cable is a computer networking cable which should give you a faster, more reliable connection.

For thorough testing Ofcom recommends you go through your house room to room, at different times of day – as there are so many variables in what could impede or interfere with a Wi-Fi connection.

Apple Is Giving Away Afterlight iOS Photo Editing App For Free

There are plenty of photo editing apps on the App Store, and it’s a fact that we’ve made clear time and time again. But quite frankly, there are a very few apps which deserve a place on our home screen, and without a doubt, Afterlight for iOS is one of them.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store-635x371.jpg
For A Limited Time Only, Apple Is Giving Away Afterlight App For iOS Absolutely Free Commanding a price tag of $0.99 on a regular day, Afterlight is a very straightforward app and does what it intends to really very well. If you’re asking us, the app’s dollar price tag is worth the investment, but nothing can beat the all-time favorite price tag of ‘free.’ And luckily for us, Afterlight can be downloaded for free right on your iPhone or iPad.
But in today’s download there’s a small catch.
You cannot download Afterlight for free directly from the App Store itself. If you pick up your iPhone or iPad, launch the App Store, search for Afterlight, then you’ll come to realize that there’s a ‘$0.99’ price tag hanging next to the app’s name. Nothing to panic about as the app is available to download from another lesser known channel, which happens to be the official Apple Store app (download link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/id375380948?mt=8)).

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/5.jpg
Once you have downloaded and installed the Apple Store app onto your device, simply tap on the ‘Stores’ tab at the bottom of the display. You’ll be taken to a new screen at this point. Scroll all the way down and swipe all the way to the right until you see a carousel saying that you can download Afterlight for free. Tap on it, and then tap on ‘Download now for free.’ Simply follow the on-screen prompts and you’ll be downloading the app in no time.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IMG_0108-635x565.jpg
Keep in mind that the app might not be available everywhere for download, so don’t be surprised even if you install the Apple Store app and don’t find Afterlight or even the slightest trace of it. We’re quite certain that Afterlight will definitely go free at some point in the future, and if it does, we’ll let our readers know about it.
We encourage users to take Afterlight for a spin on their iOS devices to create some truly remarkable edited photos and images. While there are other apps out there that perform the same thing which Afterlight does, but hey, you don’t get to download a premium and ‘Essential’ app for free every other day.
Download away and let us know in the comments section what you think about it.

Slash Is An Extremely Powerful Third-Party Keyboard For iOS

With the announcement and subsequent release of iOS 8 last year, Apple finally allowed developers to craft third-party keyboards for its mobile operating system. While the move did spawn a boatload of keyboards, but there were only a few which we would deem ‘awesome’ to download. Slash, happens to be that keyboard which can proudly carry an ‘awesome’ tag with it, and what it is capable of doing is nothing short of amazing.
Slash Is A Third-Party iOS Keyboard On Steroids We Wish Apple Had Made Once downloaded and installed onto your device, Slash looks like a normal keyboard. But if you look closely, you’ll realize that there’s a ‘slash’ key next to the spacebar that really stands out from the crowd. Tapping that invokes what the keyboard is all about.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12-635x564.jpg
Once the ‘slash’ button is tapped, you can then search through anything that lives on the Web, such as YouTube videos, GIF images, locations in Foursquare and whatnot, and add them right into the text field where you’re typing through. This is the kind of power which should come as standard with any app of this nature.
The possibilities with Slash are absolutely endless, and it even lets you send images without ever having to open anything else. Just tap away and you’re done. The way it should be.

Emoji lovers will be pleased to learn that they can easily add in a character by simply searching for it on the keyboard. It might sound a little absurd at first, but if you give it a deep thought, then you’ll come to realize how much of a genius feature that actually is.
Advertisements

From the App Store:

Messages are about more than just words, so we think your keyboard should be about more than just letters. Slash gives you quick access to the things you share every day like photos, places, music, GIFs, stickers, emoji and more. Just tap “/” to unlock the magic! Our goal is to boost your productivity and make your conversations more fun. Slash works in your favorite messaging apps and social networks, including Messages, Email, WhatsApp, Twitter, Messenger, and Instagram.
If you think the features are dope, then you’ll be more surprised to learn that the keyboard doesn’t even cost a dime. That’s absolutely correct, Slash is free, and to top things off, there aren’t any in-app purchases either. Once you download it onto your device, you’re actually owning a complete experience and not a half-baked one.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/31-635x563.jpg
You can download Slash directly from the App Store, or by tapping on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slash-keyboard/id1020956821?mt=8). Lastly, Slash is compatible with both the iPhone and iPad, so you don’t have to worry about it not working on a specific device.
If you do take Slash for a spin, then be sure to let us know what you think about it in the comments section below.

Microsoft’s Cortana digital assistant is now officially available for iOS and Android. After months of beta testing, the digital personal assistant can now be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play Store. Moreover, the company also released a brand new Cortana app for Windows 10 users that aims to provide a medium to share your data with iOS or Android smartphones.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Cortana-635x357.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Cortana.png)
Microsoft’s Cortana Is Free On The App Store And Google Play Store It’s good to see that Microsoft’s Cortana on iOS and Android is giving users some choice in terms of choosing the personal digital assistant. If you want to get it on your smartphone, go to the App Store or Google Play Store and download. Microsoft officials had shed light on the arrival of Cortana for iOS and Android back in 2014. In May 2015, it was confirmed that the digital assistant app would soon be directed to both platforms. Back in November, Microsoft selected 2,000 TestFlight members to test the app.
Moreover, if you’re interested in downloading Cortana to your iOS device, do take note that the it won’t be as feature-rich as it is on Windows Phones and Windows. Due to the high restrictions imposed by Apple, Microsoft’s Cortana app is not thoroughly integrated within the operating system. For starters, the ‘Hey Cortana’ feature would not be available, which is responsible for waking the digital assistant up. The digital assistant is limited to tracking your packages, flights, displaying relevant news pieces and also weather updates. However, you can ask questions from Cortana the same way you ask Siri.

Despite its limited integration with iOS, Microsoft’s Cortana is beneficial for those who use Windows products. If we compare the two mobile operating systems, iOS and Android, Cortana is far more superior on the latter. Cortana on Android is capable of sending text messages to the missed calls right from your Windows 10 PC. This is definitely an important update for Android users.

Cortana is available as a free download on both, iOS and Android. However, Microsoft’s digital assistant app requires iOS 8 to run and Android version 4.1.2. The Cortana app for iOS and Android have been limited to U.S and China for now. Hopefully, Microsoft will open the app to more regions in the coming days.
What do guys think about Microsoft’s personal digital assistant, Cortana? Are you guys willing to make a shift from Siri or Google Now? Share your thoughts about it in the comments.

Apple Pushing iPhone 6s Upgrade Popups To Older iPhone Users Via App Store

If you’re in the ownership of an iPhone 5s or an older device, then you’ll start to notice something strange on the App Store – Apple is pushing popups to users, prompting them to upgrade to the latest and greatest flagship, the iPhone 6s.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/iPhone-6s-2-635x280.png
Apple’s New Marketing Ploy For iPhone 6s Is Rather Annoying. Very, Very Annoying. While we do understand that having the latest and greatest piece of technology is the way to go, but a lot of users are more than content with what they have currently, be it an iPhone 5s or any older iPhone or smartphone for that matter. So keeping that in light, pushing popups through the App Store to upgrade is somewhat absurd, and there should be a way to opt out of the whole thing. After all, you came to the App Store to download an app, or fire off a few updates, not to be slapped with an ad asking you to upgrade to a new smartphone.
The ad, which you can see below, features the iPhone 6s itself, with the tagline ‘Ridiculously Powerful.’ Once you tap on the ‘Upgrade now’ button, you’ll be taken straight to the Apple Store app, so you can buy the iPhone 6s straight away. It’s also worth mentioning here that the code for these popups come as part and parcel of the iOS 9.2 update (http://wccftech.com/ios-9-2-update-download-for-iphone-ipad-ipod-touch-ipsw-links/), hence if you’re on an older version of Cupertino’s mobile operating system then you’re absolutely golden and won’t see these popups.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/image.png
Advertisements

We’re quite certain that there will be a backlash from the older iPhone community regarding these popups. After all, they’re annoying and if a user is content with the device they have at hand, then annoyance levels are taken to a whole new extreme.
There’s no doubt that the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are both mighty powerful handsets. This time around Apple saw it fit to bump up the RAM count to 2GB, significantly enhancing the fluidity of iOS on a smartphone level. To top things off, Apple implemented a 12-megapixel rear facing iSight camera, allowing users to shoot photos in a much more sharper resolution that before, and of course, allow everyone to reel in videos in 4K.
While we do suggest users to upgrade to the latest tech from Apple, but if an older smartphone in your pocket is getting the job done, then there’s no need to go overboard with things whatsoever. Now please, Apple, remove these popups from the App Store.

iTunes 12.3.2 Released – How To Download & Changelog

iTunes 12.3.2 has been released and is now immediately available to download. Here’s what is new in this update.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/iTunes-main-635x363.png
iTunes 12.3.2 Brings With It A Bunch Of Bug Fixes, Improved Classical Music Browsing In Apple Music Apple is pushing out updates to its software like wildfire, and today it’s iTunes’ turn to grab the limelight, as version 12.3.2 has been pushed hot out of the oven. While the changes in this update are somewhat slim, and of course, don’t bring anything noticeably new to the table, we still highly recommend that users go ahead and install the update onto their PCs and Macs.
The full changelog of the update is as follows:

This update allows you to see works, composers, and performers while browsing Classical music in the Apple Music catalog. It also includes stability and performance improvements.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Screen-Shot-2015-12-12-at-12.27.12-AM-635x117.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Screen-Shot-2015-12-12-at-12.27.12-AM.png)
Advertisements

As you can see from the changelog itself, not much has changed, but the stability and performance improvement bit got our attention the most here. Therefore we highly recommend that you fire up your computer straight away and update iTunes. And if you’re a fan of Apple Music and happen to listen to classical music on it a lot, then the changes might be right up your alley.
How To Download And Install iTunes 12.3.2 In order to download and install the latest update on your Mac, simply launch the Mac App Store, click on the ‘Updates’ tab and the new iTunes 12.3.2 update will be presented to you, immediately available for download. If you’re a Windows PC user, then launch he Apple Software Update tool, and let it refresh for a few seconds. Once done, the tool will present to you the latest available download.
The software will take no more than a few minutes to download and install, depending on the speed of your Internet connection and of course, the age of your Mac. It’s highly recommend that you waste no time to install iTunes 12.3.2 right away, because there’s a high chance that it might’ve fixed a lingering bug which you might have been coming across for quite a while now.
It’s been a while since iTunes got its last update, dropping an impression that Apple might either be letting go of iTunes altogether, or the company has a big surprise in store for us in the form of a major revamp. It seems as though that wasn’t the case and we were straight up treated to a nifty little update. Besides, it’s better than no update at all, right?
We really wish Apple takes the profound liberty to break Apple Music away from iTunes and gives it its very own dedicated app. After all, managing Apple Music through a dedicated hub is something we direly need at this point. Do you agree?

Outlook For iOS Updated With Limited 3D Touch Support On iPhone 6s

It’s been quite a while since the 3D Touch made its debut alongside the iPhone 6s. Enumerable apps have gained support for the feature, which have proven out to be a great help for some people. However, not all apps were updated instantly, such as Microsoft’s Outlook for iOS. Nonetheless, the update is finally here, bragging 3D Touch support and much more, which we will be telling you later on.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/microsoft_outlook-780x439-635x357.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/microsoft_outlook-780x439.jpg)
Outlook For iOS Gains 3D Touch Support And Improved Printing Options Microsoft’s email client for iOS has been updated with support for 3D Touch. Moreover, the app now allows users to print conversations and messages with ease. Since we’re all well familiar with the works of 3D Touch, users now have the ability to create new events and emails by firmly pressing the app icon. Furthermore, users can also get direct access to their Outlook calendar right from the Home screen.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-11.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-11.jpeg)
Outlook for iOS is one of the most popular email clients and users have been waiting for the 3D Touch supported update for a long while. While 3D Touch offers ample controls and operations within the app, it seems that Outlook for iOS is missing quite a few 3D Touch tricks up its sleeves. Henceforth, the update might not be as useful as some had expected it to be.

The 3D Touch support in the update does not extend its control within the app. This means pressing on links within emails and messages does not do anything. It does not mean that Microsoft is against the provision of this feature. It is just a matter of time when the company decides to update the app for more playable features.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x5721.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x5721.jpeg)
Right now, the update enables users to use 3D Touch in order to create new event, new email and view calendar right from their Home screen. Moreover, there are other big enhancements part of the update as well. Outlook for iOS is now updated with improved printing. Users can now print messages and conversations directly from the email view. You can do this by tapping the options button located at the top of the email view and select ‘Print Conversation’ option. This is an easy one step way to print conversations from the email view.
You can download the Outlook for iOS app from the link provided below. As for now, let us know your views about the update in the comments.
Download Outlook (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-outlook-email-calendar/id951937596) For iOS.

Google Maps’s Offline Navigation Begins Rolling Out To iOS Users

As per yesterday’s Google Maps update for iOS, offline navigation is now beginning to roll out to users. The entire changelog that accompanied with the update did not contain any slightest hint about the feature. However, it was later confirmed to VentureBeat that the crucial feature is part of the update.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/goo-635x358.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/goo.jpg)
Navigate To Your Destination Without An Internet Connection With Google Map’s Offline Navigation Google confirms that offline maps have started to roll out for users with Google Maps on iOS. By the look of it, it seems that the feature is being updated in selected regions. Judging by the remarks of Google’s spokesperson, we will soon be able to download specific area of the world from the Google Maps. So any time we do not have an internet connection, we can easily navigate our desired location.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-4.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-4.jpeg)
Offline navigation is one a handy feature for users, since not many of us have an outdoor internet connection. Whether it be a country road or a parking lot, Google Maps will assist seamlessly in giving directions. Offline navigation also supports turn by turn driving directions which will prove out to be an important handy tool for drivers and travelers. Users would also have the ability to search specific locations and destinations along with finding relevant information about businesses and other locations. All this will be done seamlessly, without an internet connection.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-3.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-3.jpeg)
Previously, iOS users were only delegated with viewing maps offline by typing ‘OK Maps’ in the search bar. This promoted Google Maps to download specific portions of the map to your iOS device. It’s uncanny how Google missed out on mentioning such an important feature in its latest update. There were only two things mentioned as part of the Google Maps update, petrol prices for gas stations in Canada and the United States and business hours for enumerable points of interests.

The offline navigation functionality first arrived on Android last month. Google did mention that the equivalent service would move to iOS ”soon”. Now that it’s here, iOS users would definitely be guided every time they wish to drive to their desired destination, without an internet connection.
Google Maps can be downloaded on all iOS devices that includes the iPhone, iPad and the fifth generation iPod Touch. Although the app does require iOS 7.0 or later. It also features an extension for the Apple Watch with navigational options.
This is it for now, folks. What do you guys think about Google Map’s offline navigation? Share your views in the comments section below.

Apple And IBM Partnership Resulted In A Bevy Of MobileFirst iOS Enterprise Apps

GTA: Liberty City Stories Debuts on iOS, Runs at 60FPS And Has 3D Touch

GTA: Liberty City Stories came out on the PSP and PS2 back in 2005, and it was one of the better interim episodes of Grand Theft Auto. It had more indoor environments and featured a city that was familiar, though with a lot more to do. The PSP version even had multiplayer.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/479e804cc86d72bd2493762564345216611-635x397.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/479e804cc86d72bd2493762564345216611.jpg)
GTA: Liberty City Stories is calling your name again in iOS. And now with moar 60FPS. And now you can enjoy it on iOS devices, running at 60FPS with 3D touch enabled for better control than you might have guessed.
Of course the new port fully supports the retina displays found in all iOS devices and has enhanced textures and art to make use of the higher resolution. It wouldn’t be very much fun if the resolution was increased but everything else stayed in the PS2 era.
Also supported is 3D touch, which allows you to use that novel feature for driving, targeting and making use of the drive-by mode as well. And if you didn’t quite enjoy the original soundtrack (it’s a GTA soundtrack, so why wouldn’t you enjoy it?) then you can create your own mix based on your own music. Just select the Mix Tape radio station.
Of course you won’t be able to play at 60FPS on all devices, as that’s only available on the latest 6 and 6S with the sweet (and powerful) newest series of PowerVR GPU’s.
Right now GTA: Liberty City Stories is $7 in the app store, and an Android version is theoretically coming soon.

Microsoft Translator smartphone / wearable pairing for conversation

Microsoft has updated the Microsoft Translator app for iOS (http://www.aka.ms/iOSConversationFeatureDownload) and Android (http://www.aka.ms/AndroidConversationFeatureDownload) to provide improved communications between folk speaking different languages. The updated tool is powered by the same technology behind Skype Translator and Office programs. Microsoft's latest innovation is to provide faster, more fluid communication (https://blogs.office.com/2015/12/17/microsoft-translator-bring-natural-translation-to-wearables/) by pairing a device with a wearable (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/apps.aspx).

<iframe width="700" height="394" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z4GHVfT4EAg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

To see how the paired handheld device and wearable work, to facilitate multi-language real-time communications, you can watch Microsoft's promotional video above. In brief, a user runs the Microsoft translator app on both a smartphone and wearable then pairs them. Handing over the smartphone to the conversational partner, anything said into one's wearable gets translated into the target language on the smartphone display. The smartphone holder can read and respond in natural language which gets displayed in your language on the wearable device display (in the video example; a smartwatch).
Languages supported by the software include; English, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Other than conversational use Microsoft Translator can be used to translate text, documents, webpages, and even restaurant menus and street signs. The tool can be used offline.
http://hexus.net/media/uploaded/2015/12/54f00dad-056c-4d5a-901e-45b53111c1aa.jpg
Microsoft says that it has also implemented this translation engine into Word Online plus the Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Publisher and Visio desktop apps.

Kim Kardashian’s Kimoji App Broke The App Store

As crazy it may seem, we have a new Kim Kardashian emoji app on the App Store. The app is called ‘Kimoji’ and the name makes perfect sense. The app does what every emoji app does, provide extra emojis if the stock ones aren’t enough to keep the conversation going. However, Kim’s emojis are something I would not let be part of the conversation due to obvious reasons.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-12.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x572-12.jpeg)
Kim Kardashian Broke The App Store With Her Kimoji App Initially, Kimoji offers numerous Kim-centered emoji and stickers which users can use in the messaging app of their choice like the stock Messages app, WhatsApp and many more on the App Store. The app layout is extremely simplistic that also has a custom iOS keyboard support included within the app. This makes it easier for users to get a little bit of Kim in any app which has support for third party keyboards. Overall, the app is really easy to set up.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x5722.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/screen322x5722.jpeg)
However, what really annoyed me is the fact that a surge of users attempted to download the Kimoji app that ultimately resulted in breaking the App Store. The technical difficulties kicked in due to Kimoji’s immediate shoot to the top of Apple’s gigantic app repository. So forget about breaking the internet, Kim just broke Apple’s App Store. In this regard, Kim tweeted, “Apple, I’m so sorry I broke your App Store!! I can’t believe so many people downloaded my KIMOJI app that it affected the entire app store!”. Then soon after in another message, she wrote, “Ahhhhhhhh I still can’t believe we broke the entire App Store!!!!”

The technical difficulties were soon covered by Apple and the App Store returned to its normal state. Call it a negative reaction or the hefty downloads, apparently Kim did break the App Store. The app will cost you a mere $2 from the outset and more content is said to be coming soon. However, do mark that the new content would not be free! So if you want to hand in a few extra dollars to Kim Kardashian or her husband, download the Kimoji emoji app from the App Store to your heart’s content. If you’re a Kardashian fan, what are you waiting for, get it right away!
This is it for now, folks. What do you think about Kim Kardashian’s new emoji app on the App Store? Are you willing to give the new emoji pack a try? Let us know in the comments.

Microsoft Releases Superfluous Selfie App For iOS While Windows 10 Mobile Universal Apps Flounder

Microsoft's (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) been spending time and resources releasing mobile applications for competing platforms, and while there's a certain logic in that, its latest app for iOS (http://hothardware.com/tags/ios) is, well, an interesting submission, to put it nicely. Called "Microsoft Selfie," it's essentially a version of its Lumia Selfie app, except for iPhone users.

"Microsoft Selfie is a selfie and portrait enhancement application. The app takes age, gender, skin tone, lighting, and many other variables into account, applies different models automatically and finishes enhancement with just a single click," the app's description reads. "Users can transform average photos into more presentable portraits in seconds. Key features of this application are noise reduction, intelligent enhancement, automatic exposure and color theme."

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36111/content/Microsoft_Selfie.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36111/content/Microsoft_Selfie.jpg

It's off to a positive start in the App Store with 4.5 star rating based on a little over 30 user reviews, so it has that going for it. But at the same time, we can't help but think Microsoft would be better served by focusing its full attention on beefing up its app catalog for Windows 10 Mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10-mobile).

That is one of the goals of a having a universal ecosystem in Windows 10, after all. Microsoft's trying hard to sell users on the idea of buying into the Windows 10 platform across multiple device categories, and mobile is the area that needs the most attention -- Windows accounts for less than 3 percent (http://hothardware.com/news/idc-forecasts-uphill-sales-climb-for-windows-10-mobile) of the mobile smartphone market, and it's been dropping (http://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-already-dismal-us-smartphone-market-share-falls-to-just-3-percent) the past few quarters, not going up.

In any event, that's all for Microsoft to figure out. In the meantime, if taking a better selfie on your iPhone is what you're after, you can grab the Microsoft Selfie app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-selfie/id1064676206?mt=8) for free in the App Store.

Apple Cleans Up During Holiday Season, Collects Record $1.1 Billion In App Purchases

It was a ho-ho-hot holiday season for Apple (http://hothardware.com/tags/apple) and its App Store (http://hothardware.com/tags/app-store), which set new records in the two weeks covering Christmas and New Year's. In the two-week time period leading up to January 3, iOS (http://hothardware.com/tags/ios) and Mac OS X (http://hothardware.com/tags/mac-os-x) users spent a combined $1.1 billion on apps and in-app purchases, setting back-to-back weekly records for both traffic and money spent.

Customers also set a single-day record on January 1, 2016, by forking over $144 million, besting the record that was set just a week earlier on Christmas Day, Apple said. While Apple keeps a percentage of purchases, developers to date have pocketed nearly $40 billion since 2008, and a third of that has come in the last year alone.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36169/content/Apple_iTunes.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36169/content/Apple_iTunes.jpg

"The App Store had a holiday season for the record books. We are excited that our customers downloaded and enjoyed so many incredible apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV, spending over $20 billion on the App Store last year alone," said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "We're grateful to all the developers who have created the most innovative and exciting apps in the world for our customers. We can't wait for what's to come in 2016."

This is no small thing. In large part because of its App Store and iOS ecosystem, Apple claims it's now responsible for creating and supporting 1.9 million jobs n the U.S., with 1.4 million attributable to the community of app creators, software engineers, and entrepreneurs building apps for iOS. That figure also includes non-IT jobs supported through the app economy, both directly and indirectly.

The kind of revenue Apple is pulling in through a thriving app economy is exactly why Microsoft is pushing so hard to get users to adopt a single, unified ecosystem in Windows 10. It also showcases how important the software side of things is -- Android has a much bigger share of the hardware market, but Apple's still managing to generate billions of dollars through its App Store.

A fake Minecraft sequel is selling quite well on the App Store (http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/apps-software/matthew-wilson/a-fake-minecraft-sequel-is-selling-quite-well-on-the-app-store/)

There are quite a few examples of bad apps on Apple’s App Store. However, once in a while, we come across an outright scam, which is the case here with Minecraft: Pocket Edition 2, a fake sequel to Minecraft being sold for £4.99 and topping the App Store charts.
The app’s description (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/minecraft-pocket-edition-2/id1030615681?mt=8) reads: “Finally, Minecraft II has come to the App Store this Christmas, exclusively”. The game officially launched back on the 21st of December and has already likely made quite a bit of money at this point.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen640x640.jpeg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen640x640.jpeg)
However, the game itself can’t even be considered a Minecraft clone, as it uses a sprite of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat and requires you to swipe across the screen to stop zombies. The developer website, in this case, links to Mojang.net and the customer support link also points to Mojang.
The developer ‘Scott Cawthorn’ is responsible for several other scam titles also available on the App Store and has been criticised in reviews for other games. However, it looks like Apple has yet to pick up on this and put a stop to it.

Apple reportedly developing an app that makes it easy to switch from iOS to Android

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/01/2016-01-11-image-10.jpg

Update: Apple has been forced to deny rumors and make a statement to Buzzfeed (http://www.buzzfeed.com/johnpaczkowski/apple-says-it-is-not-working-on-an-iphone-to-android-switchi) clarifying that they are not developing an iPhone to Android switching tool. "There is no truth to this rumor,” according to Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller. “We are entirely focused on switching users from Android to iPhone, and that is going great."
For 95 percent (http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp) of smartphone owners, the operating system on their device will either be Android or iOS. And anyone who wants to move from one OS to the other may find that transferring all their files, contacts, photos, and music such as hassle that they’ll decide not to bother. Last year, however, Apple made the process of moving from Android to its OS a lot easier with the Move to iOS (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.movetoios&hl=en_GB) app. Now, possibly due to pressure from European telecoms operators, the company has agreed to develop a similar app that easily transfers iOS user data to Android, according to the Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/12090949/Apples-Android-switching-plan.html).
European telcos are reportedly concerned that so few people ever move away from iPhones, partly because of the technical problems that come with transferring data from iOS to Android. The iPhone’s popularity means that operators are heavily dependent on Apple’s products, and they fear that the lack of switching weakens their hand in commercial negotiations with the Cupertino company.
It’s not clear if any of the telecoms operators has made a specific complaint against Apple, or if the company thought making this app would be in its best interests; Apple has previously faced allegations (http://www.dailytech.com/European+Commission+Objects+to+Apple+iTunes+Busine ss+Practices/article6764.htm) of anti-competitive business practices in Europe and doubtlessly wants to avoid any further charges of unfairness.
Apple’s never been a company that’s wanted to make leaving its ecosystem easy. In a 2010 email (http://qz.com/196005/the-steve-jobs-email-that-outlined-apples-strategy-a-year-before-his-death/) outlining his itinerary for his company's annual Top 100 meeting, then-CEO Steve Jobs wrote that he wanted to "Tie all of our products together, so we further lock customers into our ecosystem."
Apple has not commented on whether it is working on the app.

Researcher Circumvents Patched OS X Gatekeeper Malware Prevention Software In Minutes

In an effort to thwart malicious software from wreaking havoc on Mac (http://hothardware.com/tags/mac) computers, Apple (http://hothardware.com/tags/apple) introduced Gatekeeper in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491) and was also integrated into its predecessor, OS X (http://hothardware.com/tags/os-x) 10.7.5 Lion. Apple maintains that the most secure way to download apps for your Mac is to go through the App Store (http://hothardware.com/tags/app-store), but for apps downloaded outside of Apple’s walled garden, Gatekeeper is supposed to be the big, brawny bouncer tossing malicious apps into the street. This is how Apple describes Gatekeeper’s duties in a support document:
Developers can get a unique Developer ID from Apple and use it to digitally sign their apps. The Developer ID allows Gatekeeper to block apps created by malware developers and verify that apps haven't been tampered with since they were signed. If an app was developed by an unknown developer—one with no Developer ID—or tampered with, Gatekeeper can block the app from being installed.

In late September 2015, Synack researcher Patrick Wardle disclosed a rather debilitating vulnerability in Gatekeeper. Wardle was able to modify signed software packages (placing malicious payloads inside “trusted” software) so that it could surreptitiously bypass Gatekeeper, allowing unsigned code to execute on user’s computer. As Wardle indicated at the time, “architectural limitations of Gatekeeper can be abused to execute malicious unsigned binaries.”

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36263/content/gatekeeper.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36263/content/gatekeeper.jpg
Gatekeeper within OS X
For its part, Apple did address Wardle’s concerns and released a security update to patch Gatekeeper. In a perfect world, this would have been the end of the story, and OS X users could take solace in the fact that Apple reacted quickly to a known vulnerability. However, this isn’t a perfect world, and Apple’s patch was by all accounts imperfect.
As it turns out, Apple didn’t actually fix the underlying problem that was causing unsigned code to pass through Gatekeeper. What the company did, however, was blacklist the binaries used by Wardle to prove the worthiness of the attack vector.
Not content with Apple’s seemingly “shortcut” method of addressing the matter, Wardle reached out to Apple again to express his concerns and show that he was still able to pass unsigned code with additional apps. Apple issued a new security update, and like the time before, it simply backlisted the apps that Wardle had used as a proof of concept.
“[The] patch they released was incredibly weak,” said Wardle in an interview with Motherboard. “It literally took me five minutes to completely bypass. They mitigated my specific attack, but it’s trivial, trivial to bypass.”
Apple contends that it is constantly making changes to Gatekeeper in order to mitigate attacks like the one that Wardle has demonstrated, but it’s obviously a work in progress. So in the mean time, Wardle suggests that OS X users simply avoid download apps outside of the App Store. And if you do have to leave the confines of the App Store to download software, only so from trust vendors using HTTPS (http://hothardware.com/tags/https).

Microsoft (http://hothardware.com/tags/microsoft) is porting yet another app over to iOS (http://hothardware.com/tags/ios), this latest one called Word Flow, a smartphone keyboard app that's similar to Swype. Word Flow allows you to type without lifting your finger off of the keyboard -- you start by touching the first letter in the word you want to type an then slide your finger to each subsequent one.

It's the latest app or service to make the migration over to a competing platform. This has been part of Microsoft's strategy for quite some time now, one that it's ramped up rather aggressively since introducing Windows 10 (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10). You can find services like Microsoft's Cortana (http://hothardware.com/tags/cortana) digital assistant and Office (http://hothardware.com/tags/office) on both Android and iOS, and while Word Flow isn't as big as either of those, it's an app Microsoft thinks highly of.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36264/content/Word_Flow.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36264/content/Word_Flow.jpg

"Word Flow keyboard has long been one of the highly praised features on Windows Phone and was used to break the Guinness World Record for fastest texting. We are now working on extending this keyboard to other platforms, starting with iOS," Microsoft stated.

Microsoft is offering Insiders a preview of the app before releasing it publicly to Apple's App Store. Wording of the email suggests it will require an iPhone 5s model or later.

Why bother with Android and iOS? The most recent data from market tracking firm comScore pegs Microsoft's Windows platform accounting for just 2.8 percent (http://hothardware.com/news/microsofts-us-smartphone-share-settles-in-at-mere-28-percent) of all smartphones in the U.S. By comparison, Android and iOS combined account for over 96 percent of smartphones.

By making its services available on those platforms, it can still reap some rewards while simultaneously familiarizing Android and iOS users with Windows 10 Mobile components, should they decide to ever make a switch.

Apple to raise App prices in seven countries (http://www.kitguru.net/apple/matthew-wilson/apple-to-raise-app-prices-in-seven-countries/)

Apple is set to raise the price of apps on its store in seven countries this month. While exchange rates typically rise and fall from time to time, Apple seems to think that due to the current position of particular currencies, it is time to raise prices a bit. The countries affected by this include Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Israel, Mexico and Russia.
As an example, in Canada, apps used to cost CAD$1.19 but will now cost $1.39 for base tier apps. The more expensive apps will have prices raised from $2.29 to $2.79.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/App-Store-e1453217360903.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/App-Store-e1453217360903.jpg)
Apple has informed developers of these changes to pricing tiers and they should be in place by Thursday this week according to reports. On top of that, the prices for in-app purchases will also increase as well, which means if you happen to subscribe to an app, like a monthly magazine on iOS, then you will need to re-subscribe under the new pricing.

Apple Releases New ‘Music Memos’ App For Songwriters And Musicians

Apple has released a brand new app that continues the company’s focus on music and artists. Music Memos is an extension of Voice Memos with a slight bend towards the people who make music. Since ideas can strike at random times and unfortunately your memory is not always there to support you, artists need a medium to save their thoughts to be reviewed at a later time. Obviously, many musicians and song writer must be using Apple’s stock Voice Memos app, but to think that they would be given separate tools is remarkable.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Capture31-635x459.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Capture31.jpg)
Record And Share High Quality Audio With Apple Memos According to Apple, the Music Memos app is optimized for acoustic guitars and pianos, but nonetheless other instruments work efficiently as well. The Music Memo app is an effective tool for songwriters and musicians that lets them do more than just record sound. The Music Memo works in a similar manner to that of Voice Memos as it too uses the iPhone’s microphone to record audio. However, one major benefit that this app has over Voice Momos is that it records in a high quality and uncompressed format.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Capture5-635x432.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Capture5.jpg)
Once you have your audio recorded, you have several options available. You can name the recorded audio, tag and even rate your clip. Musicians can also keep track of their favorite clip and organize what they have created. You can also share your created content with your friends as well as other Mac applications.
Advertisements

“To build in additional tracks and instruments for a professional-sounding mix, move your recordings into GarageBand on your iOS device, or GarageBand or Logic Pro X on your Mac. You can also email your song ideas to a friend or band member, add tracks to your iTunes library, or post them to Apple Music Connect*, SoundCloud, and YouTube — all right from Music Memos.”
Moreover, the app also adds a digital backing band for the clip that you have created. According to Apple’s statement, Apple Memos “can analyze rhythm and chords of acoustic guitar and piano recordings, and instantly add drums and a bass line to provide a virtual, customizable backing band that plays along to match the feel of your song.” This is a pretty handy tool for musicians to display the chords that were being played.

Music Memos comes with iCloud support, so that all of your music creations or clips can be accessed by other iOS devices that you own. This is it for now, folks. What do you think about the app? Let us know i the comments.

The best thing about these apps is that they are absolutely free to download and install on a new iOS device, and we highly recommend that you install them straight away given that you’ll be using your gadget for some serious creativity or productivity tasks.
The complete list of Apple iOS apps, along with download links are as follows:

Pages (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8)
Numbers (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/numbers/id361304891?mt=8)
Keynote (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keynote/id361285480?mt=8)
iMovie (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id377298193?mt=8)
Music Memos (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/music-memos/id1036437162?mt=8)
GarageBand (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id408709785?mt=8)
iTunes U (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-u/id490217893?mt=8)
Apple Store (https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id375380948?mt=8)
iTunes Movie Trailers (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-movie-trailers/id471966214?mt=8)
Remote (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remote/id284417350?mt=8)
AirPort Utility (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/airport-utility/id427276530?mt=8)

The above listed apps are the latest in the lineup of software which Apple has put for download over at the App Store. The latest to join this entire list is Music Memos (http://wccftech.com/apple-releases-new-music-memos-app-for-songwriters-and-musicians/), which is essentially aimed at musicians, and turns your iOS device into a mini studio for recording stuff on the go. We’re quite certain that Apple will eventually expand its portfolio and bring more apps to the fold to help users be as creative and productive as possible.

If you’re a new iOS device user, then we highly recommend that you download Pages, Numbers and Keynote straight away. If you also happen to have a Mac at home, then don’t even give it a second thought, as iWork on iOS ties in really very well with its desktop counterpart, and you can pick up on your mobile device where you left off on your desktop and vice versa. Same goes for iMove and GarageBand, as both apps tie in nicely with their desktop counterparts.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/iLife-635x389.png
If you have an Apple TV at home, then we recommend that you download the Remote app for iOS, which essentially makes on-screen navigation a breeze. And since the Remote app also supports the new Apple TV 4, then it’s a must download app if you have the new set-top box from Cupertino.
We will keep on updating this post with more apps as Apple releases them, so be sure to check back on an occasional basis to find out what Cupertino has in store for download.

Apple’s Free App Of The Week: MarcoPolo Ocean ($2.99 Regular)

Apple has taken wraps off its free App of the Week and the honor goes to ‘MarcoPolo Ocean.’
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/1-635x357.jpg
MarcoPolo Ocean Is Apple’s Free App Of The Week, Priced At $2.99 On A Regular Day MarcoPolo Ocean is a game aimed towards children, allowing them to “Build a coral reef. Explore the deep sea. Create your own aquarium.” While the main aspect of the game is to allow children to build and explore but it actually aims to enhance their vocabulary thanks to the game’s carefully narrated structure.
From the App Store:

Make dolphins jump. Build a coral reef. Explore the deep sea. Create your own aquarium. These are just some of the fun things you can do with MarcoPolo Ocean, a “digital sandbox” for kids to play in that sparks their interest in the most unexplored part of our planet – the ocean.
Advertisements

Six build-and-play activities bring the language and the images of the ocean to life. Ocean is playfully narrated and animated to reinforce vocabulary, physical attributes and ocean concepts.
While there are games out there on the App Store that have little or less resemblance to MarcoPolo Ocean, but this particular title is a very refined offering in a lot of ways, making it swiftly fall in the ‘premium’ category. Thankfully, Apple is giving everyone a chance to download MarcoPolo Ocean absolutely free, by putting it up as its ‘App of the Week.’ This in turn means that you can bypass the title’s usual $2.99 price tag and snag the title up for free. Do keep in mind that this offer is only valid for one week only, after which the game will come back to its original price. But there is a chance that the title might stay free forever, provided the developer behind it decides to take that route.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/5-635x357.jpg

Regarding compatibility, MarcoPolo Ocean is made to work across devices of any screen size, which means it will seamlessly work on an iPhone or iPad. In other words, MarcoPolo Ocean is a universal title, meaning one download to rule them all. The way it should be!
You can download MarcoPolo Ocean directly from the App Store, or by tapping on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/marcopolo-ocean/id797157312?mt=8). We suggest that you take the latter route as it will save you a lot of trouble. And oh, if you do happen to take MarcoPolo Ocean for a spin on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then be sure to let us know about it in the comments section below what you think about it.

Facebook is bringing more 3D Touch features to its iOS app

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/01/2016-01-22-image-4.jpg

One of the most popular features of the iPhone 6s (http://www.techspot.com/products/smartphones/apple-iphone-6s.122727/) and 6s Plus (http://www.techspot.com/review/1072-apple-phone-6s-plus/) is their 3D Touch functions. With a light press, users can preview all kinds of content and even act on it without having to actually open it up. Facebook introduced 3D Touch support to its iOS app last October, but it was only used to access some quick actions from the homescreen. Now, however, the social network is bringing Peek and Pop controls into the app itself.

Facebook said that 3D Touch will work with “web links, profiles, pages, groups, events, photos, profile pictures and cover photos.” The idea is that previewing content in this way should let users know whether or not something is worth opening.
Facebook is also adding another quick action shortcut to the homescreen icon. Right now, the quick actions are mostly used to perform tasks such as writing a post and uploading or taking photos/videos, but the company is introducing a new action that will take users directly to their timeline.
Facebook says it’ll be rolling out these new features today, but only to a “small group of people.” All other iPhone 6s and 6s Plus users won’t get the updated 3D Touch support for a few more months.
It’s heavily rumored (http://www.techspot.com/news/63126-rumor-suggests-samsung-galaxy-s7-have-pressure-sensitive.html) that Samsung’s next flagship Galaxy smartphone – the S7 – will have a pressure sensitive screen to give it the same functionality as the latest iPhones.
At the start of last month, it was reported (http://www.techspot.com/news/63080-instagram-tests-3d-touch-feature-android-app.html) that Instagram briefly tested a feature on the Android platform that imitated 3D Touch. By holding down on a thumbnail, it was possible to preview a photo without having to open the image up to the entire screen.

Exploding Kittens Claws Way To Top Spot In Apple's App Store In 24 Hours

Exploding Kittens (http://hothardware.com/news/say-what-exploding-kittens-game-scores-record-kickstarter-support), at one time the most monetarily funded project on Kickstarter (http://hothardware.com/tags/kickstarter) and still the record holder for attracting the most backers, is now available to purchase as an app in Apple's (http://hothardware.com/tags/apple) App Store. It's proving just as popular in app form, having risen to the top spot after just one day, leapfrogging Minecraft: Pocket (No. 2) to get there.

From the humorously warped mind of Matthew Inman of the hugely popular The Oatmeal comic, he and co-creators Eland Lee (Xbox, ARGs) and Shane Small (Xbox, Marvel) conceived the card game, offering backers a regular deck and a Not Safe For Work (NSFW) edition. The object is to be the last person standing, which you accomplish by avoiding or defusing a limited number of Exploding Kitten cards that are shuffled into the deck. It's a simple premise with a bit of strategy and a lot of laughs.

image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36331/content/Exploding_Kittens.jpg
http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36331/content/Exploding_Kittens.jpg

The conversion to an iOS app was done by developer Substantial. It's a 2-5 player game synced to phones in the same room for local multiplayer action. It's not clear if a future update will add remote multiplayer to the mix, but for now, it's essentially a local replacement for the physical cards.

"Our app is one of the first games to use a combination of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to communicate with players around you, so we don't have to rely on the Internet or Gamecenter to play," the Exploding Kittens team explans. "You just stand near your friends and connect. Since there aren't many of us out there doing this yet and the technology is super new, it's got some bugs and doesn't always work perfectly, but we're hoping with your help we can keep making the game better."

The app is $1.99 in the App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/exploding-kittens-official/id1040227414?mt=8) and as a launch special, all in-app purchases are free for the next couple of days, those being a trio of card expansion packs. A version for Android is in the works.

CornerTube Brings Picture-in-Picture Mode To YouTube Videos On iPad

With the release of iOS 9 last year, Apple brought true multitasking features to the iPad. While not all features are available on Cupertino’s older tablet models, but thankfully, there’s one which is available across the board: Picture-in-Picture mode. With said feature at hand, you can detach a video from the app it’s playing inside and float it anywhere within iOS. But there’s a small problem though: developers must enable the feature within their apps in order to take advantage of it. Case in point, the official YouTube app for iOS doesn’t support Picture-in-Picture mode just yet, and only God knows the reason why. Luckily, an app exists over at the App Store that aims to change everything.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/YouTube-635x357.jpg
CornerTube App Brings Picture-In-Picture Mode To YouTube Videos On iPad Previously, you could enable Picture-in-Picture mode for a YouTube video, but the workaround (http://wccftech.com/enable-ios-9-picture-in-picture-mode-for-youtube-ipad/) was a little cumbersome, and we’re certain users would not get the proper experience as they would hope. But thankfully, we can push all of that noise to the side and make use of an app, available on the App Store, which goes by the name CornerTube.
Once downloaded and installed from the App Store, you can simply detach a video and float it around as if magic. And quite frankly, we really wish the official YouTube app graced Picture-in-Picture support, after all, Google’s video platform will become even more useful if we can work with it side-by-side along with a document that we’re working on.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/32.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/42.jpg

CornerTube has other features under the hood as well, which are explained below, according to the app’s official description over at the App Store:

Watch your YouTube videos in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode from anywhere.
Advertisements

• Today Widget: CornerTube comes with a Today Widget that detects YouTube link in your clipboard, your favorite YouTube video is just a tap away from your Notification Center.
• Action Extension: CornerTube also has an Action Extension to let you watch YouTube videos from any app. Simple tap and hold on a YouTube link and select “Open in CornerTube” from the list, it couldn’t be easier.
• Split View multitasking: CornerTube works in Split View multitasking too. Swipe from the right side to activate Split View. Note: Split View multitasking only works on iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4 and iPad Pro.
• In-app Search: Search for your favorite YouTube videos right inside the app.
Since CornerTube brings a ‘premium’ feature to the iPad, therefore it commands a small price of $1.99 over at the App Store. Given the fact that the official YouTube app doesn’t have PiP mode just yet, therefore it’s safe to say that the cost is somewhat justified.
You can download CornerTube by heading over to this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cornertube-pip-player-for/id1073199994).

‘Orby Widgets’ Has All The Tools To Make Your Notification Center More Productive

When Apple first added widget support on iOS, we all had mixed feelings for what they would look like. Moreover, we were used to widgets directly on the Home screen like Google’s Android platform. Nonetheless, Apple chose its Notification Center to be the stage for all widgets, confining them to a specific location from where they can be accessed. This meant that all widgets would remain inactive until or unless the user decides to swipe down the Notification Center. However, we’re glad Apple made this bold move since there are definitely pros to the approach like saving battery life and more.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x5721.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x5721.jpeg)
Orby Widgets For All Your Essential Needs From that day forward, we have seen innumerable widget apps popping on the App Store each of which had their own set of functionalities. Installing different apps for a specific type of widget might take up a lot of your storage space, especially if your iOS device is one of the 16GB variant. That takes us to ‘Orby Widgets’ that provides users with all sorts of widgets in the Notification Center. All of these widgets show various aspects of your device which we will be telling you guys later on.
Orby Widgets provide some basic widgets like calculator, battery life, Network information and more. The battery is indicated in a circular form and its drain time is mentioned underneath, which might vary as per use. The calculator is simplistic and can handle all day to day calculations like a champ. The network details are listed for both Wi-Fi and Cellular, each of which shows the amount of data transfer. Further extensions to the network information extends to IP Address and Mac Address. These are some of the most basic widgets that Orby Widgets provide.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-3.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-3.jpeg)
Moreover, Orby also provides widgets for Speed Call, which is similar to the speed dial feature that was available on older devices or is still available on some devices. What speed call does is simple, it lets you select a contact whom you can call anytime without searching through your contact list. Moreover, Orby also allows you to share a Facebook status or Tweet right from the Notification Center, so all social media fanatics can utilize it by bypassing the longer direct route.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-4.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-4.jpeg)
Personally, I really liked the Orby interface and widget arrangements with simplistic design but maximum utility. One of the best widgets in Orby Widget are the App Launcher, Conversation, CPU and Memory. All of these widgets are contributing to how you use your device.
Advertisements

The CPU widget shows the total capacity of usage and how much of it is being used. This might act as an indicator if you forgot to close your apps. In the end closing apps do result in improved battery performance. The Memory widget displays all kinds of memory information. It ranges from wired to free and active to inactive memory. Overall system memory is also displayed that shows variations in real time. If not everyone, tech savvy folks would know how to make use of it, either directly or indirectly.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-1.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-1.jpeg)
The App Launcher widget lets you select specific applications that you frequently visit, which is pretty handy if you have a cluster of apps on your iPhone or iPad. The conversation widget is really helpful when it comes to chatting with the most often contact. All you have to do is select the person and the platform where you want to chat and it will be available right in the Notification Center, which will directly take you to that specific conversation.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-2.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/screen322x572-2.jpeg)
Personally, I really liked the widget layout and how they are positioned. It definitely eases access and provides abundant information to get you through your needs. Orby Widgets is available on the App Store, charged at a mere $1.99. If you’re into widgets, we would totally recommend Orby Widgets.
This is it for now, folks. How often do you use widgets on iOS? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Samsung Plans To Bring Almost All Of Its Apps To iOS

Apple and Samsung have been in a state of rivalry for a long while. However, the latter has planned to release almost all of its apps on iOS later this year. The almighty reason for this move is to bring an enhanced cross-platform appeal of its devices that constitutes fitness trackers, speakers and tablets. Samsung already has quite a few apps on on iOS and earlier this month, we did hear that the company is looking forward to adding Gear S2 support on iOS.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/free-apps-635x306.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/free-apps-e1431708369460.jpg)
Samsung Will Deliver Health, Entertainment And Camera Apps On iOS According to the accumulated information by SamMobile, the company is said to be working on Gear Fit Manager for iOS. This will allow users with Gear Fit to pair it with their iPhone. Other complimentary apps that will go alongside the Gear Fit Manager includes the company’s S Health app that can record workouts, activity, food intake and even sleep. All of this falls under the health and fitness category which will open new dimensions for iOS users, rather than just relying on Apple’s stock health app or the Apple Watch.
Samsung is also said to be working on a new Smart Camera app for iPhone. The app will adhere to a complete UI redesign and probably additional features will also be added. The Smart Camera app can also be used as a remote for the company’s list of smart cameras. The app can be used to copy videos and photos and can also be used with connected tablets and other smartphones as a viewfinder.
Advertisements

Moreover, you’re wrong if you think Samsung has not covered the entertainment category. iOS support for Galaxy View is on the way and to control it, the company is also developing Four Square and Remote Control. This will allow various iPhone users to stream content on movable displays. In terms of audio, the company also plans to release the Level app for its audio devices. This will again delegate iPhone users to control and use Samsung’s audio devices.
Samsung’s move to introduce its apps on iOS is a bold one. Since the iPhone caters a wide range of users, it might as well be beneficial for Samsung to use them for their own connected devices. Ultimately, this might raise the adoption rate of those products.
This is it for now, folks. What do you think about Samsung bringing its apps on one of its biggest rival’s platform? Let us know in the comments.

Microsoft's iPhone keyboard has unique one-handed mode

Microsoft isn't holding back anything from their upcoming Word Flow iPhone keyboard app. The new app is going to be a replica of the Windows smartphone keyboard, but it'll feature a unique one-handed mode that's different and very usable compared even to the Windows 10 Mobile version of the same.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/9/49936_35_microsofts-iphone-keyboard-unique-one-handed-mode.jpg (http://www.tweaktown.com/image.php?image=imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/4/9/49936_35_microsofts-iphone-keyboard-unique-one-handed-mode_full.jpg)
Photo credit: The Verge

The one handed mode on the Windows 10 Mobile version has been an unbridled success for Microsoft. People love it and it's surprisingly useful. As phones become larger in size, one-handed convenience is sacrificed. The Windows version just makes a compact keyboard on either side, which is effective yet still somewhat limited.

The iPhone Word Flow app will morph into a fanned layout (http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/25/10829594/microsoft-iphone-keyboard-word-flow-features), that the developers have noticed is much easier to work with. You should be able to type one handed just as fast, if not faster, than when the iPhone enjoyed a 3.5" screen. And you'll be able to access word suggestions, emoji and, of course, swipe words all from the compact fan arrangement. What a unique way to solve a problem. It actually looks useful, but we'll see once we actually go hands-on.

Google Chrome For iOS Given The Speed Boost That We Always Wanted

Google Chrome is one of the best browser for mobile as well as desktop. However, the annoying part was that it failed to deliver its performance on iOS. Now, Google is finally delegating more speed and dependency on its Chrome for iOS app through several improvements that us users have wanted for a long time. Google has finally decided to update its Chrome for iOS app with a brand new rendering engine: WKWebView. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it is the same engine that powers Apple’s in-house Safari browser.

Chrome Is Now Speedy And Crashes 70 Percent Less Even though the look and feel of the browser may remain the same, it might be the most important update that Chrome for iOS has received to date. The major update in the app includes a gigantic speed jump from the prior update. Chrome is now significantly faster with a much more stable build. Previously, the app usually crashed or misbehaved in terms of webpages, but now you don’t need to worry about all these problems.
Judging by a series of tests on the latest Chrome update for iOS, it now has 70 percent less crashes and the JavaScript execution is also faster. The update will start hitting iOS users starting today. However, if you’re eager to try the upgrade as soon as possible, you can get a glance on updated Chrome for iOS on the Chromium blog (http://blog.chromium.org/2016/01/a-faster-more-stable-chrome-on-ios.html).

There might have not been a better day for Google to release the Chrome for iOS update. This is because on the same day, a pretty vile bug has been discovered in Safari, which is leading Apple’s stock browser on iOS to crash for a lot of users. So if Chrome has intersected with Safari in terms of speed and security, why not let people choose their own default browser, Apple?
According to tests conducted by Google itself, the results are so far at par with iOS’s Safari browser. However, the drawbacks associated with the update adhere to a limited audience. This states that only users running iOS 9 have been accounted for and previous OS versions cannot make use of the speed and reliability, as per the Chromium team. The update is available for both iPhone and iPad users running iOS 9.
Today is a very good day for all Chrome fans out there. Update the app if you haven’t set automatic app updates. If it’s not showing then wait till hits your region. As for now, what do you guys think about Chrome for iOS? Will you be giving it a try since it’s now way faster and relaiable than before? Let us know in the comments.

Apple’s Free App Of The Week Is Piloteer ($1.99 Regular)

Apple has announced its App of the Week, and the honor goes to ‘Piloteer’ for iOS. For more details and download link, hop right in.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/PIloteer-635x318.png
Piloteer Is A Challenging Physics-Based Game About Learning To Fly It’s great to see that Apple has made it its habit to bring forward a premium app or game to iOS users, and offer it up for download absolutely free. This time around, the Cupertino giant has brought forward Piloteer, which is a “challenging physics-based game about learning to fly.”
From the App Store:

In Piloteer, a whimsical and serenely challenging physics-based game about learning to fly, a renowned inventor is determined to overcome the stigma associated with flying a jetpack and convince the world that jetpacks should be revered by all.
Blending elements of both physics and trick-based games, players will need to maneuver their state-of-the-art jetpack through the skies while completing a myriad of increasingly difficult missions to change public perceptions.
Advertisements

Players will find themselves immersed in a wholly integrated physics simulation, making the beautiful world around them feel dynamic, unpredictable, and alive.
Ridiculous failure is imminent in Piloteer, making the accomplishments along the way feel all the more rewarding. Put on your jetpack and take to the skies!

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/52-635x357.jpg

If you’re looking for some physics-based action on your mobile or tablet, then look no further than Piloteer. And given that the game is universal, meaning that the title will work on iPhone and iPad, the entire ‘free deal’ is sweetened to a great extent.
There are two routes you can take to download Piloteer onto your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch – the first one involves you launching the App Store on your device and then doing a search for Piloteer, subsequently downloading it. The second route is a rather simple one – simply tap on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/piloteer/id932248553?mt=8) directly from your device and you’re good to go. We’re quite certain that you’ll take the latter route for obvious reasons.
Having taken Piloteer for a spin on our iPhone here, we have to admit that the title is quite fun and addictive. We’re pretty sure that users won’t treat this particular game as a ‘quick fix title’ as it offers a lot of entertainment for an extended period of time.
We recommend that every user give Piloteer a shot, after all, it’s absolutely free for one whole week, and there’s no harm in trying out a premium game on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, that too courtesy from Apple itself.

Airmail For iOS – The Best And Most Powerful Email Client For Mac Has Arrived On iPhone

There are numerous email clients available on iOS and almost all of them get the basic task of sending and receiving emails done. But while that’s the only thing one would expect from an email client, there are users who prefer to have more control handed to them over how their emails are being handled. Keeping that in mind, Airmail for OS X is the most feature rich and complete email client we have ever come across, and all the great features we have come to expect from it are taking a mighty leap forward today, with the iPhone version having launched on this date and ready for download.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Airmail-635x457.png
The Best And Most Powerful Email Client For Mac Has Arrived On iPhone On the desktop level, Airmail is a mighty powerful email client that supports multiple inboxes as well as other features such as iCloud sync and whatnot.

From the App Store:

Airmail is a powerful mail client for Mac, now available for iPhone.

Since Airmail is a premium email client on the Mac, therefore it commands a price tag on the iPhone as well. And quite frankly the $4.99 price is completely justified if you look at the features it grants the user.

Top 5 Photo Backup Services For iPhone And iPad

Here’s a list of the top 5 photo backup services for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch users.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Photo-backup-635x350.png
Photo Backup Services Are Aplenty, But Here Are Top 5 Best Ones

The day and age of keeping a point-and-shoot camera in our pockets is long gone, and we all rely on our smartphones (and tablets, at times) to snap images when we’re out and about. After all, the best camera is the one which is always with you right? We agree to that wholeheartedly. But the thing is, there might come a point during using our smartphone or tablet where things might hit a roadblock and we are forced to let go of all our data in our devices, and this can happen due to a variety of reasons – device got lost, damaged or something unforeseen. In that case, you’d wish you had taken a back up of everything in the cloud, more specifically of your photos, so that things aren’t lost given any condition.
Keeping that in mind, today we will highlight the top 5 photo backup services which you can utilize on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and keep your snaps well secured in the cloud.
Google Photos

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Google-Photos-635x560.jpg
Google Photos is absolutely amazing in terms of features, and it gets the job done in a very swift manner. It even organizes your photos based on a bunch of different parameters. To cut the long story short, Google Photos, if used wisely, can end up replacing your stock Photos app on your iPhone, iPad for good.
Google Photos stores unlimited number of photos in the cloud in high-quality, and if you’re opting for full quality uploads, then things are dependent on how much storage you are left with on Google Drive.
You can download Google Photos from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-photos-store-search/id962194608?mt=8).
Flickr

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Flickr-635x564.jpg
Flickr is a massive community for photographers, and luckily gives users 1000GB of cloud storage in which they can store all of their snaps. Of course, your photos will remain private, until or unless you choose to share them with someone else at any given time. And lastly, organizing photos is a breeze with Flickr, and things are topped off with editing and filtering features.
As we mentioned above, Flickr gives users 1000GB of free cloud storage.
You can download Flickr from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flickr/id328407587?mt=8).

Dropbox

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Dropbox-635x564.jpg
A service that is at the forefront when it comes to cloud storage, Dropbox allows users to create a backup of photos whenever required. It’s absolutely easy to set up and use, and given that most of us already have a Dropbox account already, therefore getting to grips with it is an absolutely easy affair.
While Dropbox does offer 2GB of free storage, but you have to shell out $9.99 if you wish to opt for 1TB of storage.
You can download Dropbox from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8).
Amazon Photos

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Amazon-Photos-635x558.jpg
If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, then Amazon Photos is the way to go for all your photo backup needs. It features absolutely free unlimited storage, given that you’re a Prime subscriber, and it features a relatively easy to understand interface.
As we mentioned above, cloud storage on Amazon Photos is free if you’re a Prime subscriber, and you’ll be required to shell out some money if you aren’t.
You can download Amazon Photos from here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-photos-cloud-drive/id621574163?mt=8).
iCloud Photo Library

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/iCloud-Photo-Library-635x352.png
Last but not the least, iCloud Photo Library, Apple’s very own photo backup service gets the job done in a brilliant fashion. The best part about it is that you do not have to install anything on your device and it works like magic. Backups are made whenever you plug your iPhone or iPad into a power outlet.
iCloud Photo Library comes with 5GB of free storage and you have to shell out $0.99 a month for 50GB, $2.99 for 200GB and $9.99 for 1TB of storage a month.
And that concludes our list. If you believe we have missed out on something big, then be sure to let us know about it in the comments section below.

Many users have reported issues regarding Apple services and the company have officially updated its service status page in contrast to those complaints. A lot of users have dropped complaints against failure to purchase digital products from the company’s various stores, including the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes and more. In the service status page (https://www.apple.com/au/support/systemstatus/), Apple clearly notifies users that ”services may be unavailable for some users”.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Capture3-635x544.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Capture3.jpg)
App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes And Other Services Down The outage is preventing users from making online purchases of various digital products. In some cases even streaming music from iTunes in the cloud is being difficult or impossible. Apple’s system status page lists Apple TV, App Store, iTunes in the cloud, iBook Store, iTunes Match, iTunes Store, Volume Purchase Program and the Mac App Store as the potential victims of outage, which might not be available for some users. All of the aforementioned Apple services report in the yellow, stating that some users have no access to them.
Users first started facing issues before 7:00 a.m Pacific. The issue seems to have dispersed, affecting a huge customer line in some regions. Some of the regions include Canada, United States, Europe and other areas as well. According to Apple, the issue prevailed just over an hour ago and for some users, purchase of digital content or products might not be possible at the moment.

“All Store Services – Some users are affected
Users may be unable to access the above stores/services or make purchases.”
It also appears to be that some iCloud services have also been a victim to these outages last evening. We are keeping an eye out for any improvements in the situation. Apple cautions customers, “Users may also have been unable to use multiple services at iCloud.com.” It could be that these are minor issues in Apple’s services and might be fixed soon. It is just a matter of time when Apple steps forward and removes any hiccup from the system and normalize its service stores.
Are you experiencing any service store issue at your end? Have you been a victim of the iCloud issues this morning as well? If you are, then you can report to Apple through their support page (https://www.apple.com/au/support/contact/). Do mention if you have any other issues regarding the mater as well, so the whole community can benefit from it.
This is it for now, folks. What are your thoughts on the matter? Vent your frustration in the comments section below.

Instagram Finally Brings Multiple Account Support – Available to Some iOS Users

After rolling out super-annoying 60-second long video ads, Instagram (http://wccftech.com/download-instagram-boomerang-for-iphone-android/) is finally giving users something that they have wanted for a long time. Here comes the support for multiple accounts!
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/instagrammultipleaccounts-800x473-635x375.jpg
Instagram multiple account support:

Acquired by Facebook (http://wccftech.com/whatsapp-to-get-end-to-end-encryption-and-facebook-integration-soon/), Instagram is testing the feature of multiple account support on its iOS app. According to a few reports today, the photo sharing social networking app has already started rolling out the feature to some users. We aren’t one of those lucky first users, but if you are, don’t forget to brag in the comments.
Advertisements

Users are reporting having this ability to log into more than one account in Instagram on their iOS (http://wccftech.com/instagram-7-5-download-for-iphone-android/) devices. For those who have access to this feature, you will find a new option Add Account in the Settings menu. Similar to Twitter, you will now be able to use multiple accounts on Instagram, and switching between them will be an easy feat too. With the choice of logging into Instagram with multiple accounts, notifications for Likes, Follows and Comments will also have a header letting you know which account received a particular alert.
Whew! No longer signing in and out of Instagram to keep track of multiple accounts. It took Instagram so long, but at least it’s showing some signs of coming to us now. Remember, the photo and video sharing app showed some similar signs on Instagram for Android (http://wccftech.com/save-instagram-photos-how-to/) earlier in 2015, when it started testing the feature. However, the feature wasn’t released to the public. Let’s hope this is not one of those dead ends and Instagram does finally roll out multiple account support.
Again, don’t forget to let us know if you have received this most-wanted feature in Instagram.

The Binding of Isaac rejected from App Store due to violence (http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/apps-software/matthew-wilson/the-binding-of-isaac-rejected-from-app-store-due-to-violence/)

The Binding of Issac: Rebirth won’t be coming to the iOS App Store it seems as the game has been rejected by Apple due to what the company perceives as violence towards children. This isn’t the first time that this game has faced some trouble launching on a platform, having been initially blocked by Nintendo on the 3DS due to “questionable religious content”.
For those who aren’t aware, The Binding of Issac is a game that sees you take control of Issac as you make your way through dungeons, finding items and power-ups to fight bosses. The final boss of the game is Issac’s mother.
http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/binding-of-isaac-2-e1454941363747.jpg (http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/binding-of-isaac-2-e1454941363747.jpg)
The game’s producer, Tyrone Rodriguez tweeted out (https://twitter.com/tyronerodriguez/status/696129241696509952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Apple’s rejection notice over the weekend, which reads: “Your app contains content or features that depict violence towards, or abuse of, children, which is not allowed on the App Store”.
The Binding of Issac: Rebirth is currently available on plenty of platforms including the PC, 3DS, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4 and PlayStation Vita. A dedicated iOS version of the game had not been previously announced though the idea was being openly explored.

A Severe Security Flaw Affects A Ton Of Mac Apps, Here’s Why

The last couple of years haven’t been great for Apple in security stakes. We saw a numerous amount of security flaws and loopholes on both mobile and desktop, which despite being patched over time, put a serious question mark over Cupertino’s watertight claims in this department. Now it seems things are about to take a new turn on Cupertino’s desktop platform – OS X – as a new security flaw has emerged, and it puts an alarming amount of Mac apps in the affected region.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Mac-Security-635x360.png
A Third-Party Updater In A Ton Of Mac Apps Has A Major Security Flaw The apps in question are affected due to a security flaw in a third-party updater (Sparkle Updater) which apps use to update themselves over the air. And surprisingly a lot of big name apps are in the crossfire, such as Sketch, uTorrent etc.
The security flaw, if utilized, allows a potential hacker to initiate a man in the middle attack, allowing them to install malicious code on a Mac, subsequently snooping through personal data if they so desire. Not pretty at all if you’re asking us.
The discovery of this flaw was made by a security researcher who goes by the name Radek, reports Ars Technica:

The vulnerability is the result of apps that use a vulnerable version of Sparkle along with an unencrypted HTTP channel to receive data from update servers. It involves the way Sparkle interacts with functions built into the WebKit rendering engine to allow JavaScript execution. As a result, attackers with the ability to manipulate the traffic passing between the end user and the server—say, an adversary on the same Wi-Fi network—can inject malicious code into the communication. A security engineer who goes by the name Radek said that the attack is viable on both the current El Capitan Mac platform and its predecessor Yosemite.

If you think that is alarming enough, here’s a demo of the flaw in action. It’s a proof of concept, though.

<iframe width="635" height="388" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/16acap5hep4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The interesting thing here is that Sparkle Updater has already received an update itself, which of course, patches the security flaw. But the thing is, developers have to integrate that update within their apps in order to make things right again. And given that many apps utilize Sparkle, therefore it’s very tough to gauge exactly how many apps are affected by this flaw. But if the report is to be believed, then a ‘huge’ number of apps are affected.

Let’s just hope app developers are swift enough to incorporate the update in order to fix things right away. VLC did, at least.

Here’s How You Can Clear App Store Cache On iPhone, iPad

I’m sure many of us have been a victim of problems resulting in the App Store. Have you ever visited the App Store anticipates an update, but found that it has not yet appeared? We’ve all been lured in the situation. You might have noticed that the App Store has no refresh button to clear all the cache memory that’s piling up. Some users might experience the App Store is slowing down, not loading apps in a jiffy like it used to. Well, we’ve got a neat little trick up our sleeves that would allow you to refresh and clear App Store cache spontaneously.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store-635x371.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store.jpg)
Clear App Store Cache With This Simple Trick The trick emerged with iOS 8 and allows the App Store to be refreshed. Since then, it has been working for us and is available on all new iOS versions too. However, on lesser version of iOS, the trick has no effect. We have prepared step-by-step instructions, which will allow you to clear App Store cache. So let’s begin.
Step 1
The first thing that you need to do is open the App Store app on your device.
Step 2
Once the app is opened, you will see five tabs resting at the bottom of the display. Tap any tap 10 times.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12721927_10201322165292776_647925120_n.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12721927_10201322165292776_647925120_n.jpg)
Advertisements

Step 3
Now you will see that the App Store refreshed, loaded all of the apps again.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12736145_10201322165332777_895074639_n.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12736145_10201322165332777_895074639_n.jpg)
This is it, you have just refreshed the App Store. It’s this simple. However, do take a note of a few points before you begin. The tap that you used to shift to a tab also counts as one tap, so basically you have to tap 9 more times, excluding the one when you shifted to a tab.
This trick is not solely associated with the App Store. You can adopt the same trick if you’re encountering problems in iBook Store and the iTunes Store. Eerily, the iBook Store only requires 5 taps in total and we have no idea why. Nonetheless, if your specific store is being refreshed, who cares about how much time you have to tap it.
This is a neat little trick that can solve all your problems associated with the App Store. The trick has always worked for me and probably it will be helpful in your respective device as well. You will eventually see all your apps to be updated in the Update tab once you perform the trick.
This is it for now, folks. Did you try the trick? Let us know in the comments if it worked for you.

Microsoft’s New App Can Identify Dog Breeds Using iPhone Camera

Microsoft has released a brand new app for iPhone that lets a user identify a dog breed using the device’s onboard camera.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Fetch-dog-635x376.jpg
Identifying A Dog Breed Is Now A Simple Case Of Pointing Your iPhone’s Camera At A Dog Itself It’s absolutely mind boggling what apps are capable of doing these days. From simple note-takers to apps like GarageBand that transform your iPhone or iPad into a mini music studio, it’s inevitable that the ball will keep on rolling and innovation will keep on pouring in, thanks to the hard work of developers. Now, Microsoft is taking things up a notch a little by releasing a new app for iPhone users, called Fetch!, which lets you simply point your iPhone’s camera at a dog, and the app in turn will tell you details regarding what breed it is.
From the App Store:

Fetch!, a Microsoft Garage project, recognizes dogs and classifies them by their breed.
Just for fun we include a mode that lets you find out what dog breeds you and your friends are.
There’s also an extension collection of breeds that contains information such as disposition, size, coat and what types of families are best suited for each.
Advertisements

This is the kind of app you’re going to take out when you’re with your friends. You’ll make fun of each other, comparing which breeds you look like, and posting the tagged photos.
If you’re a person looking to find yourself a pet, or more specifically a dog, then we highly recommend that you give this app a download on your iPhone. After all, we’re pretty sure that you saw that one particular dog somewhere and just wish if there was a way to know more about it. With Fetch! on your iPhone, you can rest assured things will be on the right track.
Screenshots On the pricing end, Fetch! for iPhone is absolutely free to download and use. Also keep in mind that the app is optimized to work on the iPhone, with no support for the iPad. Even if you do install it on the iPad, however, expect to see scaled up graphics, nothing more, nothing less.
Fetch! is available to download today right from the App Store. And if you don’t want to go through the trouble of finding the app yourself, then simply tap on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fetch%21-microsoft-garage-project/id1050367912?mt=8) to go straight to the App Store page of the app.
Also be sure to check out the demo video of the app below to see how it works.

If you’re into puzzle games and you want to save some extra bucks, download The Mesh from the App Store right now. Previously, the game has also been selected in Apple’s Editors’ Choice category. Normally, the game is priced at $1.99, which you can now get it for free.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12.jpeg)
Lose Yourself In The Immersive Gameplay Of The Mesh Developed by the Creatiu Lab, the game is not like other puzzle games on iOS platform. The Mesh deems to provide an immersive gameplay experience with a unique design and layout, which will hook players for good. The abstract puzzle title will offer a ”new original concept and innovative gameplay” which you might have not experienced before. Moreover, playing the game is relatively simpler than others of its kind.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/22.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/22.jpeg)
Play with your friends and rank yourself by making high scores. Your primary motive will be to conjoin the numbered tiles in order to achieve or maintain the highest score. However, that’s not it, the game features a twist. Every move you make in order to combine the numbered tiles, the mesh loses a tile until it runs out. Once there are no more tiles to lose in the mesh, consider the game over. This is by word one of the most indulging games which will clasp your interest to the next level.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/screen322x5721.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/screen322x5721.jpeg)

To further wallow in your interest, the game boasts impressive visuals which is definitely a treat. Moreover, the soundtrack will yield you in for a much more pleasant gameplay experience. There are many other pros of the game that might catch your eye as well. For instance, The Mesh features no in-app purchases, which means you don’t have to worry about unlocking additional content.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/32.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/32.jpeg)
“The interactions with the mesh have been designed to be an experience on its own,” adds Creatiu Lab. “Every reaction, animation, and detail have been crafted with an organic behaviour, making it a joy just to play with it.”
The most important aspect of the game is that it is a universal title, which means that you will be able to install it on your iPhone, iPad as well as the iPod Touch. So lets just not wait for the grass to grow, head to the App Store and grab your share.
This is it for now, folks. Do you like playing puzzle games on your iOS device? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Here’s How To Schedule Messages Without Jailbreaking Your iPhone

Scheduling messages to be sent at a later time is a really helpful tool. However, the stock Messages app on iOS does not allow you to do that. While there are many jailbreak (http://wccftech.com/ios-9-2-1-jailbreak-status-update/) tweaks on Cydia that lets you do exactly that, but a lot of iPhone users do not possess a jailbroken status. Moreover, restrictions imposed on third-party apps also disallow them to schedule messages. However, there is an app that helps users schedule their SMS text messages.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/13.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/13.jpeg)
Schedule Messages, Facebook Status, Tweets And Emails With Delayd Delayd is a third-party app that will allow users to schedule messages to be sent at a later time by bypassing Apple’s app restrictions. By devising a specific time in Delayd, you can pend your text messages. The app does exactly what its name suggests, it simply delays the messages until the specific time set by the user. The messages would be automatically sent and unlike other apps, it would not prompt any confirmation notifications.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/23.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/23.jpeg)
However, due to restrictions imposed by Apple, the app cannot operate using your iPhone’s default network. Instead, Delayd uses its own servers to send messages. The caveat associated is that the recipient cannot reply back directly. Moreover, the recipient cannot see your real number as well. However, you can always add your number, name or email address in the message to make it more recognizable for the recipient. Since Delayd uses its own servers, you will have to pay for credits to operate the app. The first 50 credits after you have installed the app are free. If you need more, you can purchase 50 more for $0.99 and 500 credits for $3.99 as in-app purchases.
Advertisements

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/33.jpeg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/33.jpeg)
If you want to send a certain message to someone at a specific time, all you have to do is simply set a date and time which will be adjusted by 15 minutes. Then hit the schedule button and that’s it. Once the message has been delivered at the other end, you will be notified.
Furthermore, Delayd also lets you schedule messages periodically. This states that you can send various messages at different intervals. Delayd is a neat app with a clean layout and all tabs, Schedule, Recurruring and Sent are placed on the main screen of the app. You’re wrong if you think Delayd only schedule messages. The app has the capability to schedule status updates on Facebook, Tweets on Twitter as well as sending emails. Henceforth, it is a very useful app indeed that would minimize the risk of your forgetfulness.
This is it for now, folks. Do give this app a whirl and share your views about it in the comments.

Disable Auto Renewal Of In-App Subscriptions On iPhone, iPad – How To

Here’s how you can manage or cancel service in-app subscriptions on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in a few easy steps.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store-635x371.jpg
As we keep on using our iPhones, iPads or iPod touches, we will eventually stumble upon some golden content that is bound to keep us busy in one way or the other. Such as a subscription to a music service, or maybe some Netflix or Hulu to pass the time. But there will come a point during usage where you might change your mind and would want to cancel the subscription of a particular service, provided that you signed up for it using your on-file iTunes credit card, or maybe just your App Store credit.
For a lot of people, it’s a tough task to follow, because managing subscriptions or just cancelling them can be a huge pain in the rear on iOS, given the fact that the option for it is hidden in a place where it’s least accessible for a lot of people. But fret not, we’ll help you in today’s guide and show you how you can manage your in-app subscriptions as well as cancel them if the need arises.
Manage Or Cancel Auto Renewal Of In-App Subscriptions On iOS Pick up your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and do let’s this!
1. Launch the App Store app from your home screen.
2. Scroll all the way down and tap on your Apple ID.
3. Tap on ‘View Apple ID’ when prompted for it. You’ll be required to sign in with your password so be sure to enter the credentials when asked for it.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Photo-Feb-18-6-09-16-PM.png

4. You’ll see a button labelled ‘Manage’ under the ‘Subscriptions’ section. Tap on it to open.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Photo-Feb-18-6-10-23-PM.png
5. Over here you’ll be presented wth the subscriptions that are ongoing, have expired in the past, or are active. Tap on any one which you want to manage.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Photo-Feb-18-6-10-30-PM.png
6. See that ‘Automatic Renewal’ button at the bottom? Tap on it to disable the auto renewal of that particular subscription. Or if you so wish, you can alter your subscription plan from here. Make your choices and tap on ‘Done’ to make things permanent.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Photo-Feb-18-6-12-13-PM.png
If you have an Apple Music, Spotify, Hulu, Netflix etc. subscription and want to manage it, or just want to cancel it for good, now you know how to go about business. And you have to admit that the process is actually quite easy once you get to know about it. But we really wished Apple made things more obvious in the first place, rather than leaving it all on the user to discover.

Apple’s Free App Of The Week: Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch – Tyranid Invasion

Apple has taken the wraps off its free App of the Week, and the honor goes to a super high quality title which goes by the name of Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch – Tyranid Invasion.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1-2-635x357.jpg
Warhammer 40,000 Features Killer Graphics, Insane Gameplay, And It’s Free For A Limited Time! There’s an entirely different category of games available on the App Store that, apart from commanding a price tag, also offer graphics that come pretty close to what we see on consoles these days. Warhammer 40,000 happens to be one of those games, in that it features high-quality graphics, topped off with gameplay that’s massively entertaining, as well as thrilling.
From the App Store:

Command your ultimate team of elite Space Marines.
Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch: Tyranid Invasion is a turn-based strategy game, set on the edge of Imperial space, where your Space Marines will take on the Tyranids in a series of tactical engagements. From war ravaged cities, to the insides of Tyranid bio-ships, the missions will see your Kill Team rise in strength and skill as you face ever greater threats and peril.
FIGHT: Embark on a journey to save the sector from the alien threat. Battle through 40 missions and smash your enemies.

COLLECT: 38 unique Deathwatch Space Marines available to collect. Customise them with over 150 different weapons and wargear items.
LEVEL UP: Gain experience points on missions and spend them on your Space Marines to unlock powerful skills and abilities.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2-1-635x357.jpg

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1-3-635x357.jpg The game features in-app purchases as well if you want to level up and finish things off quickly than anyone else. But it’s also worth mentioning here that you can still complete the game without ever having to nab yourself an in-app purchase, so big props to the developers for that.
Warhammer 40,000 is usually available to download for a small price of just $1.99, but thanks to Apple, you can grab the game absolutely free of cost till next Thursday, so hurry up before it regains its original price tag.
You can either download the game directly from the App Store itself by doing a search from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Or you can take the easier route of by simply tapping on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/warhammer-40-000-deathwatch/id791134629?mt=8) from your mobile device and get downloading immediately.
Since Warhammer 40,000 is a high quality title, therefore it won’t run on low-end hardware. The developer recommends that you at least have an iPhone 5, iPad 4, iPad mini 2 or the iPod touch 6 to get the ball rolling. With that out of the way, jump right into action and let us know what you think about the game itself!

Down Or Up? Check Apple Services, Stores, iCloud Status Online – How To

Here’s how you can check iMessage, iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Pay, and more up or down status online.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Apple-cloud-635x381.jpg
Checking Status Of Apple Services Is A Breeze Using The Official Online Status Page Apple offers a bunch of services for its customer base that they utilize on a daily basis. And like any other service that is dependent on ‘The Cloud,’ all what Apple offers – from the App Store to iMessage – is prone to see some sort of downtime at one point in time. After all, nothing runs on top of magic, and faults can lead to a service being completely inaccessible for users.
But there are times where a service might be inaccessible due to a fault at your ISP’s end. If that’s the case, then you’ll be pleased to learn that you can actually check the overall status of an Apple service online, such as iMessage, App Store, Apple Pay and whatnot, allowing you to identify whether or not a particular Cupertino offering is down.
Simply point your Web browser to this link (https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) and you’ll be taken straight to Apple’s System Status website. Over here you’ll see a bunch of indicators showing you the status of that particular service.
If everything is in green, then it means that things are ticking along nicely and there is no issue whatsoever with that service. Yellow and red mean that services are either partially down or completely down, respectively.
Advertisements

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Apple-Services-635x390.png (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Apple-Services.png)
In the case of you seeing green indicators throughout with the service still not being accessible then it’s highly likely that there’s a problem at your end, or your ISP. In that case you might want to go through certain steps to make sure why the problem is happening in the first place.
It’s very relieving to note that this System Status page can be accessed by anyone at all, and you don’t have to be a paying developer or enrolled in some program to just get a glimpse of it.
There are times when certain Apple services hit a roadblock, with iMessage being one of them. While we are led to believe that Cupertino’s IM service is bulletproof to the fullest extent, but hey, it’s a service that is bound to take a hit at times, or when Apple decides to give it a quick maintenance for some reason.
If you found the above little nugget useful, then be sure to let us know about it in the comments section below.

SoundCloud’s ‘Pulse’ App For Creators Is Now Available For iPhone

Back in November of last year, SoundCloud launched its Pulse app on Android that allowed users to manage and control their content. Now, after quite a while, SoundCloud has decided to bring its app on the iOS platform. The Pulse is a dedicated app for creators that allows easy uploaded content management as well as separate user profile from the main SoundCloud (http://wccftech.com/soundcloud-added-new-stations-feature-for-consistent-music-experience-on-ios/) app on mobile devices. This suggests that the music listening app would be isolated for all content management controls.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1-1.jpeg

Control And Manage Content On SoundCloud With Pulse Pulse is just the app you need for your creations, whether it be a podcast, a track or any other audio. Work around the app and manage your content with ease. Previously, iOS users were not bestowed with a separate, dedicated app to manage their content. Now that SoundCloud has launched its subsequent app for iPhone, administrating your content on SoundCloud has never been more easier.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/3-1.jpeg
Apart from all the managing tools integrated within the app, Pulse also allows you to do a bit more. You have the ability to interact with your fans by replying to their comments made on your tracks. Moreover, you can also view your profile stats and share your content publicly or privately. The stats available are up-to-date according to the performance of your content.
Advertisements

Other management controls offer admin features and the option available to block or follow specific users. On the other hand, if you dislike a comment posted by a fellow listener, you can always delete it. Signing up for the app is the easiest part of all. All you have to do is download the Pulse app on your iPhone and sign in with your SoundCloud account. Once you do that, all of your profile details would be available to you.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/3-1.jpeg
As perfect as the app sounds for creators, there is a slight hindrance in between. You do not have the availability to upload your content through the Pulse app. However, the feature is not so far away and will be part of the app soon. Since this is a first release, more features would be added to Pulse in the coming days. So lets just not wait for the grass to grow, head to the App Store and download your share.
This is it for now, folks. What are your thoughts on the app for iOS? Do you upload content on SoundCloud? Share your experience with us in the comments.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/screen480x480.jpeg
The thing that makes Spark great is its unique ”Smart Inbox” that shows you the most important unread messages first. There’s a reason Spark’s inbox is smart, it can identify emails as a notification, personal emails or a newsletter and operates it accordingly.

So missing out on important emails is unlikely to be the case with Spark. Now that the update has extended Spark’s reach to the iPad, it will take full advantage of the big screen real estate. Whether it’s your 9.7-inch iPad Air or the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the Spark email client has been designed to show you the most important email at a glance.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/screen480x480-1.jpeg
The interactive controls in the Spark email app are fairly common with respect to other iOS email clients. This suggests that the app uses swipe gestures to archive or delete emails. It also includes a pinning feature, that kind of act as a bookmark for the tasks that needs to be completed as soon as possible. Moreover, the Snooze option allows you to put off emails, which can be viewed at a later day.
The revamped design of the Spark email app allows it to take advantage of all screen sizes. There is also a Mac version of the app under development, which might take some time to make it to the public eye, according to Readdle.

This clever functionality does not solely contribute to people who love recording their pets, it can be used for security and many other purposes as well. The app simply lets you capture the right moment on camera the moment it happens.

Here’s One Big Reason Why You Should Use Google Photos On iOS

Google has just updated its Google Photos for iOS app on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, giving us a huge reason why we should try the Big G’s photo service.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/iPhone-6s-live-photos-635x412.png
Google Photos For iOS Now Lets You Backup Live Photos To The Cloud If you’re an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus user, then we’re pretty sure that you’re well aware about Live Photos, Apple’s marque feature on its newest flagship handsets. The feature essentially allows you to add life to your photos by recording a small video alongside the still image. Simply hard press on the display with the photo in view, and it will come to life.
Today, you’ll be pleased to learn that Google Photos has added support for backing up Live Photos as well, and view them right from the app itself without much fuss. Previously, it wasn’t possible, and the app was limited to uploading plain photos and videos.
The great thing about this update is that you don’t have to set up anything at all. Simply update the Google Photos for iOS app from the App Store, and you’re good to go. The app will automatically start to backup Live Photos once you’re done.

Apart from Live Photos, the Google Photos for iOS app has added support for Split View on the iPad, and to top things off, iPad Pro support has also been added to the roster, so you can rest assured that you’re covered across the board.

Performance improvements are also the order of the day, and we’re pretty sure that Google has thrown in the usual bug fixes under the hood as well, so that’s reason enough to update the Google Photos for iOS app right away.
The complete changelog is as follows:

• Improved app navigation, so you can spend less time flipping hamburger menus
• Back up and view Live Photos
• Reduced cache usage when your device is low on space
• iPad Split View and iPad Pro support
• Performance improvements
If you already have Google Photos for iOS installed on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, and also happen to have automatic app updates enabled, then we’re pretty sure you have the latest update installed. If not, then simply launch the App Store from your home screen, tap on the ‘Updates’ tab at the bottom and update right away. If you’re a fresh user, then you can download Google Photos for iOS by clicking on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-photos-store-search/id962194608?mt=8).
The service is absolutely free to use, and we’re certain that you’ll find it more zippy compared to a lot of offerings out there.

Apple Confirms: Closing Apps From App Switcher Doesn’t Help Save Battery Life

It’s widely believed by a huge portion of the iOS using community that closing apps from the app switcher on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch helps preserve battery life. Well guess what? It’s a myth, and one that’s been completely busted by none other than Apple itself.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ios-multitasking-635x349.jpg
Force Closing iOS Apps Do Not Help In Saving Battery Life – Says Apple iOS is designed in such a way that it handles backgrounded apps and tasks perfectly, ultimately giving users the most battery retention from their device. But a lot of users believe that killing apps from running in the background is a good idea to save battery life. The thing is: when you remove an app from the app switcher on an iOS device, it’s removed from memory, and when said app is launched again, everything is kicked off from the ground up, pushing it to the device’s memory once again, using up a fair amount of battery during the process. Not exactly a battery life saving technique by any means. Therefore, leaving an app running in the background is the ideal way to go. Simply press the Home button and let it rest.
The fact was confirmed by Apple’s very own Crag Federighi who is the Senior Vice President of Software Engineering in an email to 9to5Mac’s (http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/10/should-you-quit-ios-apps-answer/) Caleb.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ios-email-635x416.jpg (http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ios-email.jpg)
Advertisements

So there you have it; don’t waste time force closing apps from the app switcher in the hope of saving battery life. It’s totally not worth it, and iOS has you well covered in terms of battery life.
If you do want to save battery life however, then you’re better off turning off some features on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, such as Background App Refresh from Settings > General > Background App Refresh. In fact, we have a bunch of techniques you can opt for to save battery life on iOS 9, and you can check them all out here (http://wccftech.com/fix-ios-9-battery-drainage-issue/).
The myth regarding force closing apps and saving battery life has been around for a long time, but Apple hasn’t stated officially what’s the best route one should take regarding it when it comes to saving battery life. Now that it has been confirmed by Cupertino’s software head, we really hope users do not end up force closing apps from here on in.
Do you believe force closing still does wonders for you in terms of battery life? Be sure to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

oneSafe Is Apple’s Free App Of The Week – Download Now As It’s Free For A Limited Time With the passage of time, the App Store has managed to gather up multiple apps for the same genre, but very few out of them attempt to do something as advertised on the description page. For instance, there are a lot of password managing apps on the App Store, but all of them have their shortcomings or flaws. But oneSafe, Apple’s current App of the Week, is one app that covers most of the checkboxes and does password managing as good as the high-end apps such as 1Password.
As per the App Store:

oneSafe is like Fort Knox in your pocket! oneSafe provides advanced security for your passwords with features like Touch ID, auto-lock, decoy safe, intrusion detection, self-destruct mode and double protection for your most sensitive data.

oneSafe protects your confidential information with AES-256 encryption; the highest level of encryption on mobile devices. Passwords, documents, photos, credit card numbers, bank account details, PIN codes and much more can all be locked away securely inside your safe – and at the same time be accessible whenever you need them. Plus, oneSafe adapts to your preferences allowing you to change the colors and images of your safe for maximum customization.
All in all, oneSafe is a brilliant little app that carries a price tag on a regular day and has gone free for a limited period of time. And since the app is free right now, we highly recommend that you give it a download and try it on your iOS device. There’s a high chance that you had your eyes set on some other app, but there’s a possibility that oneSafe might end up to be the perfect app for you. It’s free after all, so there’s no harm in trying it out!

Just download and install and it will fit right into your device’s display like a charm.

If you do happen to take the app for a spin, then be sure to let us know what you think about it in the comments section below.

Apple About To Run News Ads But They Look Awfully Familiar

Looks like Apple has brought in a new ad format for sponsored posts, and they will start to appear in users’ news feeds alongside articles.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Apple-635x397.jpg
Apple News App Will Be Displaying These Ads, And Will Be Available For The Mobile Versions Of The Company’s OS Apple’s in-house mobile-advertising platform that is updated this month will feature sponsored content and will display directly in the content feeds. This particular format is available for iOS, translating into the latest addition being available for iPhones and iPads. The tech giant is yet to confirm if the same format is going to be branched out to its OS X platform.
The ads will be set in the same font as other articles in the News app, with the exception that there is going to be a tiny ‘sponsored’ tag to notify you on whether the content has been sponsored or not. These ads have been intended to merge with the surroundings, suggesting that they should not interfere with the reading experience of the smartphone or tablet user, but that remains to be seen.
Currently, publishers can upload sponsored content to Apple News, but they must flag those stories as native content in metadata, or publishers could find their Apple News access suspended.
According to Kunal Gupta, CEO of advertising-tech firm Polar told a source the following:
Advertisements

“Publishers that participate in Apple News put an RSS feed into Apple News. That feed is essentially a feed of content and some of those pieces of content might be branded content. The onus is on the publisher in that case to very clearly label and title that content.”
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/screen-shot-2016-03-14-at-4.43.41-pm-635x157.png
While this new way will definitely provide a gateway for publishers to sell and promote sponsored posts, it will definitely come at a cost, because Apple will be keeping 30 percent of these revenues. These updates are another sign that Apple is working on providing ways for publishers and advertisers to monetize the new content platform.
Apple News will be updated as part of the latest version of iOS, and you can bet that it is going to be rolled out next week. For those thinking that Apple News is fairly unpopular should take a look at the latest metric from The Wall Street Journal, because it stated that 40 million people had used the Apple News app during the month of January, 2016.
Do you guys think that this will provide a new way for publishers to steamroll sponsored content? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Wondering What Happens to the Apps After They Die? They Keep Exposing User Data

A now-defunct iOS app has resulted in leaking data of over 198,000 users of the app. Users have started caring (http://wccftech.com/users-are-more-worried-about-privacy-than-losing-their-income/) about how a certain app accesses and stores their data, but what happens to the data when a certain app dies seems to be even more dangerous.
“Post-mortem breaches can be just as harmful as live production leaks” An iOS app named Kinotopic allowed users to create and share animated pictures and cinemagraphs. The app discontinued in 2013, however, its database storing user info wasn’t deleted.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/iphone-635x334.jpg
Kinotopic iOS app leaks data of its 198,000 users According a researcher, a MongoDB database connected to the app is available “on the open internet with no protection whatsoever.” The database contains usernames, email addresses (http://wccftech.com/mackeeper-security-breach/), hashed passwords, and other data belonging to over 198,000 Kinotopic users.
This misconfigured MongoDB database associated with the app was discovered by Chris Vickery (https://mackeeper.com/blog/post/197-the-danger-of-apps-that-die), a security researcher. Vickery discovered the unprotected database during a regular review of search results on the Shodan search engine. He claims that since it’s easier to access, the database could have already been found by others. Writing in an email to SecurityWeek (http://www.securityweek.com/defunct-iphone-app-exposes-details-198000-users), Vickery said, “I would say there’s a good chance someone else has already found it. I’d put the odds at about 80% – 90% chance it’s already been found and plundered, especially with all the news MongoDB databases have been making recently.”
After failing to reach out to the app’s creators, Vickery also tried contacting Apple to get their help in reaching the developers.

I figured that Apple might have some way to contact the developers of a prior iPhone app. After all, doesn’t it make Apple look bad if an app, that had gained Apple’s official seal of approval, then later exposes its user database to the entire world?
Advertisements

When I contacted Apple, they had this to say via email:
“Chris, if you believe that this issue affects the security of an iOS device or the iTunes Store, you may report it to product-security@apple.com. […]
On the other hand, if this security issue only affects the application itself, I’m afraid you will need to continue getting in touch with the app developer for assistance.”
[…] I was expecting a little more assistance in tracking down the makers of this software that was, until recently, officially supported and offered in the iPhone App Store.
MacKeeper (http://wccftech.com/mackeeper-security-breach/)‘s researcher has now made his findings public and is asking for help if anyone knows the developers or database administrators of the app.
If you were a user of the Kinotopic iOS app and you use the same password for multiple accounts (try not to, please!), it’s time to change your passwords (http://wccftech.com/want-to-hack-facebook-accounts-a-hacker-reveals-his-trick/).

Other than its seamless purpose to send and receive emails, the app offers end-to-end encryption. This states that upon sending an email to your friend, associate or a colleague, your privacy would be even more secure than the conventional email clients. Let’s see some more details on the app and how does it function in contrast to other email services.

ProtonMail Provides Absolute Privacy For Your Emails Privacy concerns have been amplified in the recent years. Users want their conversations and data to be secured with another layer of privacy. ProtonMail has done just that – providing end-to-end encryption on emails that are now way more secure than other services in the herd. Through PGP, ProtonMail ensures that both ends of the conversation are secure.

PGP have been around for a long time, however, no other company has made use of it the way ProtonMail has implemented it in its app. You can simply ensure that your emails are private and cannot be intercepted by anyone. All of the messages are stored in encrypted format, which means that not even ProtonMail itself can read them. This provides absolutely zero access to your private emails so no one can disclose them. The app is hosted in Switzerland under the strongest privacy laws of the world.

Google Keyboard For iPhone Is On Its Way – Report

The official Google Keyboard for iPhone is in the works, and will feature a dedicated search button.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Google-Keyboard-iPhone-main-635x351.png
Official Google Keyboard For iPhone Has Been In The Works For Months, Release Timeframe Unknown According to a report published by The Verge, Google has been testing an official Google Keyboard for iPhone amongst its employees for several months now. The report goes on to further suggest that the Google Keyboard for iPhone will pack a bunch of search related features off the bat. But it’s unclear at this point when Google will ever release the keyboard publicly.
According to The Verge:

Google has been developing a third-party keyboard for iOS that would put the company’s search engine in a highly used part of the interface, The Verge has learned. The keyboard, which incorporates a variety of search options, has been in development for months, according to people familiar with the matter. It’s unclear whether or when Google plans to release it. The company declined to comment.
Regarding the features, the report goes on further as well:
Advertisements

The Google keyboard incorporates a number of features meant to distinguish it from the stock iOS keyboard. Like its Android counterpart, the Google keyboard for iOS employs gesture-based typing, so you can slide your finger from one letter to the next and let Google guess your intended word. Tap the Google logo and you can access traditional web search. It also appears to have distinct buttons for pictures and GIF searches, both presumably powered by Google image search. The keyboard is visually distinct from the standard Android keyboard, which incorporates voice search but no text or image-based searching.
Third-party keyboards made their way to the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch with the release of iOS 8. As soon as Apple opened the floodgates, big names such as SwiftKey and Swype hopped onboard, ready to be downloaded at a moment’s notice. And while we thought for a bit that Google will never bring its keyboard to iOS, today’s report suggests otherwise.
READ Give Your Apple Watch A Fresh Look With Supercharged Watch Faces
(http://wccftech.com/give-your-apple-watch-a-fresh-look-with-supercharged-watch-faces/)
It will be interesting to see whether or not the Google Keyboard will be able to sway diehard iOS keyboard using fans. And having used Google’s offering on Android, I have to admit that it’s one of the finest on-screen keyboards I’ve ever come across, so there’s a chance that Google could be onto an instant hit for iOS here.
Let’s just hope the keyboard drops on the iPhone soon rather than later. And also let us know in the comments section what you think about today’s report.

So kids will see their own faces on the animations, which will allow them to bring the story to life.

As great as it sounds, this is not the only feature that’s available for your playful kid.

‘CHOMP’ combines playful, humorous, and lovingly hand-drawn animations with live video, enabling children and adults alike to slip into a variety of comical roles. From a virtuous pianist, to a spaghetti-slurping dog, or a living cuckoo-clock, anything is possible!

Transfer Photos And Videos Across Platforms Without Any Hustle

iOS and Android are two different operating systems that work fluidly in their own respective ecosystem. With iOS, you have AirDrop to transfer photos and videos on another iOS device. On the other hand, Android uses Android Beam to send and receive photos from another device. However, it is really cumbersome and annoying to transfer photos from an iOS device to an Android device or vice versa. If you’re someone like me who uses both of these operating systems, there’s an easy way to swipe your photos from one OS to another.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/FotoSwipe-1-635x357.jpeg
Transfer Photos From iOS To Android With FotoSwipe FotoSwipe is a brand new app for both, iOS and Android that transfers your photos from one device to another. While there may be plenty of other apps on the market for this specific functionality, FotoSwipe does it way better with a wee bit of intuitiveness. The app is not restricted to the mobile platform, it can also send and receive photos from a computer.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/FotoSwipe-2-635x357.jpeg
For now, let’s just focus on FotoSwipe for iOS and Android. Once you install the app on your iOS and Android device. The procedure to send and receive photos is relatively simple and fun. Once the app is installed, launch it and let it access your photos. Simply swipe your photo to the right edge of the screen to send it. On the other phone, you must tap on the ”Tap to Receive” button to get it. This is it. You can send videos as well as multiple files using the same procedure. Check out the video below for more details.

If you wish to send files to a computer from your smartphone, head to the FotoSwipe website (http://fotoswipe.com/) on your PC and launch the app on your device. You will be prompted with a Pairing Code once you swipe your photo to share. The Pairing Code will mark the authentication of the device that you’re sending a file to. After a short while, your file will appear on your computer in the browser’s download folder. It’s this simple.
Sending and receiving photos across different devices has never been this simple. If you have your location enabled on both of your phones, you will not be prompted a Pairing Code otherwise it will. FotoSwipe requires minimum setup and the procedure is fairly simple. At times of need, the app does a wonderful job in transferring photos across devices. FotoSwipe is available as a free download for both iOS and Android.
Have you ever felt the need to transfer photos from iOS to Android? If yes, will you be giving this app a whirl? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Chrome will finally support native notifications on OS X

http://www.techspot.com/images2/news/bigimage/2016/04/2016-04-06-image-24.jpg

The Mac OS X notification center has been available to developers for some time, but Google's Chrome browser has historically ignored it in favor of a custom solution that's both clunky and lacklustre.
It seems Google has realized this isn't the best way to deliver notifications to users, and has implemented a new, experimental feature (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2016/04/06/chrome-finally-getting-native-push-notifications-mac/) in the latest builds of Chrome that uses the OS X notification center instead. This is the first time Chrome has been able to push notifications to users through Apple's native solution, and it certainly improves the user experience.
With Chrome using native push notifications, you'll no longer run into issues like Chrome popping up over other apps when you receive a message, even if the window is hidden or in another workspace. It also makes Chrome's notifications cohere with the rest of OS X's design.
Google hasn't enabled native OS X notifications by default yet, but there is an experimental flag you can enable if you really want to try it out. To get native notifications, head to about:flags, turn on 'enable native notifications', and restart your browser.

Apple’s Free App Of The Week Is A Stunning Cut The Rope Title – $2 Value

Every week on Thursday, Apple updates its App of the Week (http://wccftech.com/apples-free-app-of-the-week-is-a-fantastic-kids-app-2-value/) promotion in iTunes. This week, the company’s in-house editors have selected Cut the Rope: Time Travel, which will be available to users absolutely for free.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Cut-The-Rope.jpeg
Cut The Rope: Time Travel Goes Free As Apple’s App Of The Week Cut The Rope: Time Travel is one of the many titles of the game. Players are advised to cut the rope (obviously) and feed Om Nom candy as the journey continues across various locations. The theme of the game has been set in different locations like Middle Ages, Egypt, Pirate Ships, Renaissance, Stone Age, Greece, Disco Era, Wild West, Industrial Revolution and many others.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Cut-The-Rope-5.jpeg
The App Store Editors’ Note:

If we had a time machine, we’d probably use it to zip back to last week and buy that winning lottery ticket. But in this centuries-hopping Cut the Rope sequel, Om Nom just wants to hang out with his ancestors and eat candy. Whether we’re flipping ancient switches, deflecting laser beams with ’80s disco balls, or lassoing tasty treats in the Wild West, we love the new elements of brain-twisting challenge. Completing each set of sugar-seeking puzzles is nearly as satisfying as hitting the jackpot–and definitely sweeter.

Microsoft’s Hub Keyboard Is Now Available For iPhone

The stock iOS keyboard is great and all, but it does not seem to offer as much services as other third party keyboards on the App Store. Living in the hype for a long time, Microsoft’s Hub keyboard debuted on Android (http://wccftech.com/android-developer-preview-longer-exclusive-nexus-devices/) in February. Now, the Keyboard has finally landed on iOS. To be sure, it’s not the same keyboard as you would find in a Windows phone (http://wccftech.com/windows-10-build-14316-the-biggest-insider-preview-yet/). The ported keyboard has been altered a little to match the working of iOS (http://wccftech.com/download-official-reddit-app-ios-android/). Let’s see Microsoft’s keyboard in a little more detail and what makes it different than other keyboard apps on the market.

Hub Keyboard For iPhone Let’s You Accomplice Tasks From Within The Keyboard Microsoft’s keyboard for iPhone is designed to minimize the efforts of switching between apps as to get the job done.

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Hub-Keyboard-2.jpeg

You will be able to quickly share URLs that are collected from the Office 365 documents stored within OneDrive or PowerPoint. Moreover, copy pasting text into messages have never been this easy. Contact information can also be shared very quickly. However, be sure that the information is stored in your office 365 account or the device itself. This is the functionality that not all third party keyboards offer.

Isn’t it painful to switch between apps just to complete your routine on-the-go tasks?
Hub Keyboard, a Microsoft Garage project, lets you stay in context by bringing information from different services to your fingertips and help complete your tasks faster. Sign in with your Office 365 work or school account to unlock access to more information.

The Hub keyboard can be easily installed on your iPhone, just like any other third party keyboard. Simply head to Settings > General > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard and then select Hub from the given list.

But for an extremely limited period of time you can grab all of these titles for free, so pick up your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and hit that download button before the developer changes their mind!

Plum-O-Meter Allows iPhone 6s' 3D Touch To Weight Objects - Video

(http://wccftech.com/plum-o-meter-allows-iphone-6s-3d-touch-to-weight-objects-video/)
It’s worth noting at this point that these offers might not be available in every region, so make sure the app / game is not carrying a price tag before you tap that download button. If there’s a price tag right next to the app’s name instead of ‘Get’ then the offer is not available to you and you have to pay for that specific title.
There’s also a possibility that the app and game will regain its original price tag without any prior notice, so be vigilant when you go ahead with your downloading spree. Also be on a lookout for more offers like these, so stay tuned to our coverage in the future.
Which app or game did you download first from the bunch? Be sure to let us know about it in the comments section below.

This Mac App Lets You Drag And Drop Videos To Instantly Create GIFs

If you’re a GIF fanatic and happen to have a Mac with you, then you’ll be pleased to learn that there exists an app in the wild that lets you drag and drop videos into it to instantly create GIF files.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/demo_app-635x357.png
Creating GIFs On A Mac Has Become A Drag & Drop Affair With Drop To GIF App Given the current state of the Internet, it’s safe to assume that GIFs have finally taken over and have become the go-to luxury to express one’s feeling in the most elaborate manner possible. But while there are hundreds of millions of GIF images floating in the wild which you can make use of, wouldn’t it be great if you could create your own in the simplest way ever? Sure you can with the likes of GIF Brewery (http://wccftech.com/how-to-convert-videos-to-gif-images-on-mac/), but the process is a tad bit complicated, given you like to keep things as simple as possible.
Enter Drop to GIF app for the Mac which allows to simply drag and drop a video file and it will be instantly turned into a GIF image. It absolutely doesn’t get any more easier than this and we’re sure many of you out there are going to have a ton of fun getting to grips with it as well.

Once downloaded and installed from GitHub (https://github.com/mortenjust/dropt.gif) for free, simply launch it and you’re ready to convert videos into GIF files. And in case you’re wondering, you do get a bunch of settings to play around with, allowing you to alter the frame rate as well as the quality of the GIF.
Parallels Desktop 11 With Windows 10 Support, El Capitan, Always-On Cortana Released

(http://wccftech.com/download-parallels-desktop-11/)
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/demo_dragon-635x437.gif
We recommend that you experiment with short video clips at first before you make the giant leap of converting something big. You want the right blend of frame rates and quality before signing off the GIF. After all, you don’t want to end up something that’s either too big to send, or a complete mess in terms of quality. You need to get things ‘just right.’
As we mentioned before, Drop to GIF is absolutely free to download and is available over at GitHub. While the app does have some tradeoffs, but its ease of use is absolutely an icing on the cake. But, if you’re looking for something a bit more kick and something that’s loaded with features and whatnot, then look no further than GIF Brewery on the Mac App Store, which currently commands a price tag of $4.99.
The choice is extremely yours which app you want to stick with. But since Drag to Gif is free, therefore look into its prowess first before going ahead with anything else.

Apple pulls multiple Reddit apps from App Store, dislikes NSFW options

Apple recently pulled multiple Reddit apps from the App Store, apparently due to its wariness of not safe for work (NSFW) content. Narwhal, Eggplant, and Antenna -- among many other apps -- were pulled.

http://imagescdn.tweaktown.com/news/5/1/51586_1_apple-pulls-multiple-reddit-apps-app-store-dislikes-nsfw-options.jpg

Many apps have since been restored after removing their NSFW options; the official Reddit app doesn't seem to have ever been removed, although it was required to axe its "Safe for Work Browsing" toggle. With this, it's clear Apple wants Reddit app makers to avoid custom options on that front and to leave it up to Reddit account settings instead, possibly because having such a toggle implies said NSFW content exists.

"This is a feature we previously refined with Apple's help. We were surprised by the notice," said a Reddit employee under the username ggAlex. "We just resubmitted our build. We were not informed that Apple would be removing other apps. We were very upset to see that they did. Honestly, if we were interested in getting rid of 3rd party apps (which we're not), this would be the stupidest possible way to accomplish it."

"We suggest all 3rd party apps similarly remove settings for safe for work browsing."

Apple App Store To Get A Massive Revamp, Paid Search Results In Tow As Well

The App Store is somewhat of a mess right now, specially when it comes to search. But this whole fiasco could become a thing of the past, as a new report has surfaced, claiming that the Cupertino outfit is working tirelessly behind the scenes to revamp the App Store while also bringing other features to the table that will benefit developers.
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App-Store-635x371.jpg
Apple Is Working To Revamp The Search Capabilities Of The App Store

According to a report published by Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-14/apple-said-to-pursue-new-search-features-for-crowded-app-store), Apple has a secret team of 100 people, headed by Apple Vice President Todd Teresi, who used to lead the iAd initiative from Cupertino itself. The team is working to enhance the search capabilities of the App Store giving users more relevant results when they type certain keywords.
But that’s not all, the company is even looking into the possibility of allowing developers to buy certain keywords so that their apps or games are more prominent in search results whenever a user types in a certain keyword. For example, Instagram could buy the keyword ‘image editing’ and their app would come out on top every time a user searches for it on the App Store.
It’s absolutely unknown at this time when these changes will be made live for everyone to use. But if the amount of effort Apple is putting into this is anything to go by, then our gut feeling tells us we should see it roll out with the introduction of iOS 10 at WWDC 2016.

Feedly for iPhone Brings RSS Loveliness To Apple Watch

While we do support the idea, we really wish Apple works on revamping the search feature of the App Store in such a way that new and latest iOS supporting apps come out on top every single time when a search is kicked off. At this point in time there are hundreds of thousands of apps in the App Store that haven’t been updated to even support the newer iPhones or iPads. Heck, they haven’t been updated to support even iOS 7, but they still come out on top whenever a search is initiated in a lot of cases. This is something which Apple should be working on the most.
We have a good feeling that Apple will eventually listen to our cry for help in the days and months to come, but till then we have this good news of the incoming search feature of the App Store to drool over.
Do leave your thoughts and opinions about this report in the comments section below.

This is the first time ever Space Marshals has ever gone free on the App Store, and it’s the right time to grab it and take it for a spin on your iOS device to see what the hype is all about. And having given the app a spin on one of our iPhones here ourselves, we have to admit that we’re absolutely hooked to what’s on offer. The graphics are superb, the gameplay is intense, and best of all, it’s free for a limited time, which adds way too much value than we originally hoped for.
Space Marshals is a universal game, and it will fit your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch screen without any fuss at all, so you don’t have to worry about forceful upscaling when running the title on a tablet. Furthermore, the game is free for a limited time, as we mentioned above, and will come back to its usual price next Thursday, so hurry up grabbing this title!
If you want to grab Space Marshals right now, then simply head over to the App Store, do a quick search for ‘Space Marshals,’ and follow the on-screen prompts for installation. But of course, we don’t want you to go through that much trouble, hence click on this link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/space-marshals/id834315918?mt=8) which will will take you straight to the Space Marshals download page on the App Store.
If you did install this game on any of your iOS devices you may have, then be sure to let us know in the comments section what you think about it. Meanwhile we will return to playing Space Marshals on our iPhone!
