Evi is your new digital friend who is here to help you with your everyday information needs. Need to know where the nearest place is to buy milk? She can help. Going … [Read more...]
Sure, Mobile Safari got lots of great upgrades when iOS 5 dropped. Reading List is nice, even if it's really just a quick, temporary bookmark list. Reader is where the real action is, stripping all the extraneous Internet out of the way. Private Browsing? Welcome to 2005's version of Safari on your iMac running Tiger. Tabbed browsing? Not so fast, little guy. Unless you're playing with the big dogs on the iPad, you iPhone users are still rocking … [Read more...]
GarageBand for iPad is one of the most impressive apps we've ever seen. It's simultaneously able to cut almost nothing from its computer counterpart, but also added never before seen features to the iPad—like pressurized keys on pianos that knew how hard you were pressing them down (we still have absolutely no idea how they programmed this, and have yet to see it in another app). But what if you don't have an iPad—or worse—what if you … [Read more...]
With the release of the iPhone 4S, shooting 1080p video has never been easier. Simply open the Camera app, flip the switch—and voila—you're ready to start shooting some pretty impressive video. But the video camera app (if you can call it that) is very light on features. You can turn the flash on or off, but it's more or less press record and see what happens. You can import that video into Apple's notorious iMovie app, add all sorts of … [Read more...]
The wonderful YouTube app has been around since the very first iteration of iOS, a staple in the handful of apps that Apple chose to include on their very first iPhone and every iOS device that followed. Since then it has helped us watch countless funny sketches, lyric videos of unreleased songs, and (of course) home videos of kittens sneezing. With the millions of videos online and hundreds of thousands of users, you can almost always find a … [Read more...]
When Reminders App was announced as a stock app for iOS 5, the world collectively scratched their heads. Isn't the App Store already littered with To-Do lists? Don't most people already have a favorite? After all, what could Apple possibly add to the noise that would be worth sticking it dead center on our iPhones and iPads? The answer turned out to be a little bit of everything. Reminders has location-aware reminders, iCal integration, … [Read more...]
Ever Wondered If You’re A Sleep Talker? Do you talk in your sleep? If so, what do you say? Sleep Talk Recorder does exactly what the title suggests and offers a window into the subconscious which isn't something you'd imagine you could buy for roughly the same price as a bag of crisps. The App is easy to use and all you need to do is place it next to your bed (or the bed of someone else if you're that way inclined - apparently 50% of children … [Read more...]
iPad 2 To PC With Only A Few Taps Of Your Touch Screen. Many apps explore how an iPad could be used as a portal into and onto other computer platforms. LogMeln Ignition remote access software gives iPad that ability. I found LogMeln's tag line "One touch access to all of your information," to be almost spot on. After proper setup I was/am able to remotely access my computers with just two touches. Sending a tweet was my first test of the LogMeln … [Read more...]
This App Keeps You On Time, No Matter What The Weather May Bring! There are a wealth of applications on the shelves of the App Store offering to turn your iPad into a dock and those promising to give you accurate weather forecasts via your Apple tablet. And yes there are those that do both, yet there are few that do it as well as Living Earth HD-World Clock and Weather. This app gives you a frankly stunning live HD 3D simulation of our planet at … [Read more...]
A Detailed And Free Image Editing And Sharing Application That Is Fun And Simple To Use There are a number of different photo modification programs out for the iPad and this is by no means the best nor is it particularly astounding. Yet it is one of the first photo editing programs I have ever put on my iPad simply because I never thought the quality of images was ever worth editing. Adobe Photoshop Express may have been the first to change my … [Read more...]
