App of the week: Pocket
This week I take a look at Pocket, a beautifully designed and unashamedly simple app that allows you to quickly and easily save items on the web for later viewing on an iDevice.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at a large exhibition centre picking up my race number for my first ever half marathon. As I waited with my friends in the queue, I realised that the last time I was at this venue was in 1997, when my ... -
SloPro: Capture beautiful slow motion video at 60 FPS on your iPhone 4S
Slowing down video recorded on your iPhone at 30 frames per second (FPS) makes the playback appear jittery. With an iPhone 4S running SloPro, the frame rate is doubled. Your video is recorded at 60fps, so when you slow the video down, it looks as smooth as a video running at normal speed.
The result is stunning and it really works as advertised -- there are no software tricks, so no rendering delay -- although the resolution of your videos ... -
Nokia finally does something cool, releases City Lens for Lumia
The beta of the Lumia-only City Lens app is live and bursting to be downloaded. Sure, there was a Symbian version but that OS is older than Bill Gates' pick-up lines. Let's concentrate on the now. Open the app, point it a city and "selected points of interest" appear. Kind of like an augmented reality app, but rubbed in that minimalist Nokia finish. So what's it all about then? The camera viewfinder becomes an information porthole. Scan the app across a ... -
Marvel VS. Capcom 2 for iOS [Review]
Deep breath... Marvel VS. Capcom 2 is the best port of a fighting game on iOS, ever. The controls are spot on, the graphics are pixelated prettiness and the fighting is oceans-deep. Breath out a sigh of relief, this games a cracker. The zany goodness of MVC2 has been condensed into a tiny 150MB download that is well worth the time you invest into it. It's a full-on port of the PS2 version, respite with options such as Arcade Mode, a ... -
SnapNPlay for Android reads sheet music and plays it back to you
One of my earliest memories is sitting in front of a piano. Although I had a wonderfully patient teacher I just never made a deep connection with the piano. I love music though and have collected various instruments over the years including an electronic keyboard. Every now and again I’ve attempted to brush up on my sheet music, but like a language not spoken often, my grasp of musical notation waxes and wanes.
With SnapNPlay for Android, you to take a ... -
App of the Week — MoneyWiz
This week I take a look at MoneyWiz, an amazing new personal finance app available on both iPhone and iPad. "Really? Another damn expense app?" I hear you say. Yes, but I can promise you that this is the last one, I really have found what I've been looking for since I became so obsessive about recording my expenses. So before you click back to Pinterest, or continue importing your photos from Instagram before Facebook uses them without your permission, ... -
iOS 6, iTunes 11 edges closer to reality
We love nothing more than rumours which are all but guaranteed to come true. It begins with the mythical "sources" who say that Apple has begun pushing out iTunes 11, for developers only. Any new version of iTunes is usually accompanied with an updated iOS, in this case iOS 6. The picture here could have been easily photoshopped, but sources say that iTunes 11 is being worked on. There are two possible outcomes: Either iTunes 11 releases with iOS 6 compatibility, ... -
Waze: the app that saves you from traffic and fines [Review]
Let’s be honest: I drive a car. I hate traffic. I get lost a lot. So when I heard there was an app that combined GPS navigation with traffic updates, it was installed on my phone within the hour. I was willing to try anything. Fortunately, as it turned out, Waze is actually pretty darn good.
What is Waze?
Waze is an app for iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Symbian -- basically, pretty much everyone with a GPS function on their ... -
Instagram for Android says ‘Download me now!’
Android users can now join the ranks of old-school photography hipsters. Instagram for Android has just gone live and can be downloaded from the Google Play store.
What is Instagram? It's a 27-million user-strong social network of photo sharing but more importantly, it lets the user apply numerous vintage filters to smartphone photos. Instagram rocks a neat Timeline feature, letting the user view their friends photo activities. Users can share photos via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Foursquare, with Flickr "coming ... -
App of the Week — PressReader
This week, we look at PressReader, a dandy little offline newspaper reader available not only for iPhone, but practically every platform under the sun.
For my purposes, I tested it first on the iPhone, then the iPad. Despite the blisteringly clear screen of the iPhone 4S, magazine content seems trapped on the tiny screen. On the iPad however, the app opens up the user to a world of offline and online content. Let's get into into.
The every-man eReader
The issue of reading ...
