The new Sonos Controller app for Android and iOS has been announced today. This brand new app experience is based on whatever Sonos has been learning for the past ten years, as it tooks to secure its growth for the next ten years. The app has been designed for multiple dimensions, keeping three major aspects in mind. How music services are used now and how they will be used over time, the possibility that the user might not be the only listener in their home and the number of rooms a user wants to play their music in.

If there is one feature that we love about smartwatches is the ability to display information such as notifications and alerts whenever we receive a message, a call, an email, and so on. It saves us time from having to take our phones from our pockets or bags, and it also lets us know we have notifications for those times when the phone is on silent.
Well the good news is that if you’re a Pebble owner and you use BBM as one of your main apps for messaging friends, family, or co-workers, you might be interested to learn that your Pebble will be able to get BBM alerts thanks to a BlackBerry 10 app called Talk2Watch Pro. (more…)

A couple of weeks ago, Rovio teased an upcoming Angry Birds game. Not much was known at that time but it showed one of the Angry Birds inside a suit of armor, suggesting that we might be able to look forward to some kind of medieval theme.
It was later revealed that the game is none other than Angry Birds Epic, a RPG version of the Angry Birds franchise that will adopt the turn based combat system. There is no word on when the game will be officially released but in the meantime according to reports, the game has since been soft launched in countries such as New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.

No platform is perfect. Whether it be iOS, Android, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry, there are bound to be flaws, bugs, security holes, and so on that needs addressing over the course of time. There are also instances where apps on any of these platforms are bound to crash, but hopefully with each update, the respective companies will work towards making their platform a bit more stable.
However as far as Apple is concerned, they have managed to achieve this with iOS 7.1. According to performance monitoring from Crittercism, they have found that crash rates of apps running on iOS 7 is under 1.6%. This is versus the rates of 2% and above on apps running on older versions of iOS such as iOS 7, iOS 6.1, and iOS 6. (more…)

We have been hearing rumors that Microsoft could be working on a version of Office for the iPad. Given the iPad’s ubiquity, it makes sense that Microsoft would want to release an iPad version to help cover as much ground as possible.
Last week we heard rumors suggesting that Office for iPad could be launched pretty soon and that the app was ready to go and was just awaiting a release date from Microsoft’s CEO. Now according to a new Microsoft event that has been scheduled for the 27th of March, it has many speculating that could be when Microsoft will launch the app. (more…)

Virtual pets are a natural fit for the wrist-borne Pebble smartwatch, and it was only a matter of time before a Tamagotchi-inspired app made its way to the platform. One of the new games debuting for Pebble at GDC this year is Hatchi, which is exactly that. The app originally appeared on iPhone, and on both platforms it features a pixelated pet for you to play with, though on the watch the… Read More
Twitter users can already create lists of people or accounts that they want to follow. Lists don’t show up in the main timeline, so that is left uncluttered, and when lists are opened users only see relevant tweets there. While this works, its not exactly the epitome of a user-friendly feature. Which is presumably why Twitter is testing a new timeline called “Fave People.” From the looks of things, tweets from favorite accounts and people will show up in this timeline, which will be placed right next to the main timeline on the Android app.
This feature has so far only popped up in the alpha version of Twitter’s Android app, it hasn’t even made it to the beta version. So its too soon to say if Fave People timeline is also going to be rolled out for iOS and other platforms, that might happen if Twitter decides to make it a permanent fixture in its mobile apps. In the alpha version, users need to swipe left from the main timeline to open Fave People.
Those who follow a lot of people might find it hard to go through their entire list and star people they want in the Fave People timeline, though it would be much easier to include anyone followed after this feature goes live. Fact remains that Twitter might not let it pass alpha stage if testers believe it isn’t engaging enough. We’ll have to wait and see if it makes the cut.
