  • iPhone app review: Checkmark

    iOS’s built-in Reminders app is pretty good, but not great. The location-based reminders are a bit time-consuming to set up and the whole app is pretty basic and doesn’t offer up a whole lot of features. Checkmark, on the other hand, is an extremely intuitive reminders app that takes location-based reminders to a completely new…

  • Cubby: a simple way to share files across multiple devices

    Cubby: a simple way to share files across multiple devices

    When I first heard about Cubby’s unlimited storage, my immediate reaction was “I must have it.” When I found out that “unlimited storage” meant computer-to-computer syncing I was less enthused. I forgave them, however, because I concede that offering unlimited cloud storage through a free service is foolish at best. And it wasn’t long before…

  • Ask the readers: What are your favorite Android apps and games?

    We’re back again with another request in the same vein as our previous Ask The Readers where all of you shared your favorite iOS apps and games with us. But we don’t want to stop there — not with so many Android users unrepresented. So it is only natural to revisit our app list and…

  • How to identify planes and planets with your mobile phone

    Last Saturday found our family sitting outside on a warm evening, relaxing after a barbecue. The sky was so clear that we were able to clearly make out two contrails and the shape of an aircraft. This was way above our heads and clearly not a plane using the local airport. While my relatives discussed…

  • Ask The Readers: What Are Your Favorite iOS Apps and Games?

    We know “Top 10 Apps” lists have been done to death, but their proliferation in tech-based media doesn’t dilute their usefulness, especially in a frequently changing market like mobile apps. We had planned to exclusively poll the writers and editors of Techerator for an upcoming article series, but realized we’d be cutting out a hugely knowledgeable…

  • Need a Taxi? There’s an App for That

    Forgive me for sounding like a fanboy, but my iPhone is one gadget that has continued to wow me long beyond the initial honeymoon period. I have come to take many features for granted – reliable email synchronization, decent Facebook and Twitter apps and a really good camera being just three. It’s the new apps…

The updated applications feature some improvements to the user interface (there were some apps that really needed it), a unified app settings bar,…

  • Is using Apple’s Cards app too impersonal?

    Apple recently came out with Cards, an iOS app that allows you to create and customize real greeting cards and send them out to your loved ones for only $2.99 per card, all of which happens through the app. Apple completely takes care of the postage, prints the cards out, and then snail-mails them for…
