A day late this week (sorry) but here’s our favourite app for the last week in February. It’s a system that’s actually been available for Android devices for quite some time now, but has only recently been made available for iOS. It’s called SwiftKey Note, the SwiftKey system on Android taps into users Facebook, Twitter…
Never shy of a company acquisition, this week Facebook bought direct messaging application WhatsApp for reportedly up to $19bn. This is the third purchase from Facebook this year (the other two being American firm Branch and Indian company Little Eye Labs) but the largest by far, to date. As always after any big merger such…
Our app of the week comes from ex-Facebook designer, Nicholas Felton. It’s called Reporter and as the name suggests, it’s a journaling app for reporting on things you do on a daily basis. In 2012, Felton spent almost 100 hours documenting his life, then on New Years Day 2013 he made a book of his…
It’s the biggest event in the mobile industry’s calendar, the annual Mobile World Congress takes place again in Barcelona this year in just over a week. The world of technology trade shows has dipped in recent years, with major manufacturers shunning them in favour of their own big product launch events. At Mobile World Congress…
This Friday is Valentines Day, love it or hate it – there’s generally no avoiding it. I thought it would be appropriate then to take a look at a relevant Valentines app which even if you’re not a fan of the 14th of February every year, you might still find quite useful. We went for…
Considering we’re a mobile app development firm, you may think it’s a bit weird how we’re taking a look at something which is decidedly old-school. Laptops? Who uses laptops these days? Well as it turns out 316 million people last year bought a personal computer (that’s laptops and towers) which is 10% less people than…
When we look for the app of the week, a lot of things come into consideration. We always like to see if there’s anything happening during the week that would make the app particularly relevant (Just see our review for the FIFA and Wimbledon apps). This week is, of course, the start of the 2014…
In an announcement made today, Facebook has revealed that it will be launching an app on February 3rd (in the U.S) to rival news aggregator service Flipboard. The paper app is a slick, gesture driven piece which strips away the clutter of your standard news feed and looks set to completely revolutionise the way you…
Our app of the week is actually one that we’ve been using for quite a while now, but it’s made its way up onto the App Store’s Best New Apps section this week so I thought we should take the time to do a little feature on it. CamScanner is, as the name sort of…
Mobile payments are a thing which has always struggled to take off. It could be because people are set in their ways and generally don’t like change, contactless payment has had quite a slow take-up and that by all accounts is simpler and easier than traditional payment methods. Convincing people that they should pay with…
