In an ideal world, every audible alarm would include a visual indication that something was wrong, so that the hearing impaired would immediately be notified too. Until that happens, a cheap $1 app called Deafalarm could serve as a viable alternative—keeping an ear out for alarms and alerting the user through text and vibrating alerts.

It made sense that BlackBerry would include BBM on its phones. After all it would be considered an exclusive feature and a reason for people to hop on board the BlackBerry bandwagon. However when the company released BBM for other platforms, many were wondering how they were going to monetize the app since it was released for free.
One of the ways BlackBerry went about doing it was with the Channels feature that would allows companies to sponsor posts and updates, and recently another way was to release stickers as in-app purchases for the app. (more…)

The Flipboard app was originally designed for iOS devices in mind and unlike other apps that curates the news, Flipboard was designed to look like a magazine which gave it a more colorful and more interesting way of consuming news.
It was later released onto Android and was first launched as an exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy S3, although the leaked APK basically put it up for grabs with anyone with a Android device. A release for Windows Phone has yet to be made but presumably it could be soon, thanks to a recent sighting at Microsoft’s BUILD conference. (more…)

For those who have been using computers for a long time now, you guys have probably heard of the software application called CCleaner. For those who haven’t, it’s basically a piece of software that has the ability to clean out your computer, remove unwanted files, free up space, and basically try to get your computer running as smoothly as possible with minimal clutter.
Back in 2013, the company teased the possibility that the program would be making its way onto mobile devices like Android, and about a year later, it looks like it has finally happened. Piriform, the company behind CCleaner, has recently announced that CCleaner for Android has been launched and is available for download via their beta community. (more…)

So the other day when Microsoft announced Office for iPad, it didn’t really come as a surprise to learn that the apps had shot to the top of the iTunes App Store charts. Perhaps there is genuine demand for the app, or perhaps people are just curious as to how Office for iPad would work on a tablet running on iOS.
Well according to a recent tweet by the Microsoft Office Twitter account, it seems that there have been more than 12 million downloads of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for the iPad from the iTunes App Store since its launch and given that it was about a week ago, we have to say that is pretty impressive.

The downside to using Windows Phone devices is that there is a lack of apps compared to iOS and Android. Of course we can say that 150,000 apps is a pretty big deal, but when you compare it against iOS and Android who number over half a million, that’s pretty insignificant.
One could also argue that we don’t need that many apps, but sometimes variety is nice, not to mention a lot of big name companies tend to release their apps on iOS and Android first, followed by Windows Phone if at all. (more…)
