It has its own operating system, maps, browser, book reading app, book store, browser and a stack of other apps besides, but for some reason, Google has steered clear of note-making apps. Interesting, when you consider that almost every OS in town comes with its own app to allow users to key in those on-the-spur thoughts and points that cannot [...]
We have seen our share of apps over the past decade. Some of these have been good, some unworthy of attention, some being handy rather than spectacular, and well, there have been a few that just have made our jaws drop. One of our favourites in the last-mentioned category has been Bump, an app that let users exchange photographs by [...]
Geotagging has been around for donkey’s years now (well, in tech terms at least). The whole idea of being able to add information about the location where a picture was clicked to the picture itself was handy. The problem, of course, was that this information was not always obvious to the viewer. More often than not, you would have to [...]
It speaks volumes of the fame achieved by the game that for many people, Temple Run is pretty much synonymous with gaming on handsets and tablets. It has been almost a year and a half since Imangi studios (and Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova in particular) unleashed a game in which you controlled a character whose only job was to [...]
There was a time when cropping a photograph was considered the height of image editing on a handset. Then along came Instagram with its array of filters and suddenly everyone was editing every other picture they took by just a touch here and a tap there.

When it comes to football (or soccer as some tend to call it), most games based around the sport either putting you in charge of teams and players swapping passes and goals (FIFA 13 style), making you the boss of strategy (the [...]
The update to Google+ might have grabbed all the headlines, but Google has also served up a hefty update to its Google Currents app. Launched earlier as Google’s attempt at magazinifying news and RSS feeds – a la the likes of Flipboard – the initial version of the app received a lukewarm response, and when Google did not update it [...]
There are famous games, there are legendary games, and THEN there are games like ‘Baldur’s Gate’. Based on the Dungeons and Dragons rules, this party-based role-playing game (RPG) was originally released in 1998 on the PC and is considered one of the greatest titles of all time, as well as the inspiration behind subsequent cult titles like Neverwinter Nights. So [...]
‘Googe Maps‘ – those two words have been giving a certain fruity-named Cupertino company nightmares for the past few months. Ever since Google Maps were dropped from iOS (of which they had been an integral part since its inception), iOS users had been clamouring for their return, thanks in no small measure to the less-than-effective replacement mapping, which became the [...]
