I’m not sure how I feel about third-party keyboards. On one hand, I love the idea, it can create a more efficient way of typing. On the other hand, iOS handles third-party keyboards in a way that makes me not want to use it. The implementation is so buggy. Even in iOS 8.1 or the […]
On Thursday, Microsoft noted that Office for iPad will go free. This includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Furthermore, the long awaited iPhone version of Office is now available for download, free. The company has also revamped its entire iOS suite with Dropbox syncing support, and a ton of new features that “ensure a consistently beautiful and […]
iOS has always been about simplicity and ease of use. In the battery department, that meant showing or hiding the battery percentage. In iOS 8, Apple added a feature to show you which apps are draining your battery the most. This is cool, but what if you wanted to know what times you’re draining your […]

We all know Passbook wasn’t a huge success. It was a software implementation that was missing the hardware. With Passbook, vendors were required to have new hardware to accommodate the new software. Apple Pay, on the other hand is Apple’s second go at the mobile payment industry. Apple Pay utilizes the already popular NFC payment […]
iOS 8.1 is slated to land on Monday, October 20. iOS 8 is arguably the most buggiest public release ever. From the awfully buggy third-party keyboards, to your devices not being oriented correctly, there’s no debate that the OS needs some refinements. More than anything, we hope that iOS 8.1 brings bug fixes and stability improvements. So what exactly should we expect from Apple’s latest and greatest?
After several weeks, iOS developers have been updating their apps to run on Apple’s new operating system. One specific new feature in iOS 8 is Notification Center Widgets. Since it’s major release almost a month ago now, the widget market has blown up. With a ton of apps updated with widgets included, and several other standalone apps where their soul purpose is to install a widget on your device.
