Hasta La Gadget!

We’re sure there are some people in your life that you would want to avoid, maybe just for that particular day or maybe for good. It could be an ex-partner whom you’ve had a nasty breakup with, or a former boss that fired you, or it could be a friend you’re trying to avoid because you’re planning their surprise party.

Well it seems that if you wanted to avoid those people, there is an app for that and it is called Split. Now we know that it’s April Fools day and the premise of the app certainly sounds ripe for an April Fools prank, but the app itself is very real and is free for download via the iTunes App Store.

For our friends and readers from other parts of the world, here’s some bad news for you guys. According to an iTunes Connect letter that Apple has been sending out to developers, it seems that Apple will be raising the prices in its iTunes App Store in order to account for the changes in foreign exchange rates.

As it stands only five regions are affected by these changes which includes Australia, India, Indonesia, Turkey, and South Africa. Apple will also be raising the retail prices for Israel while decreasing some price tiers for New Zealand. For the most part it seems that purchasing from these countries’ App Stores will now be more expensive although we’re not sure by exactly how much. (more…)

While the Google Play app store isn’t exactly chock full of pornographic apps, there are some apps like the one pictured above that will deliver photos of sexy girls onto your phone, which some users might choose to use for wallpapers or other purposes.

Those photos aren’t exactly explicit but it seems that in an effort to make the Google Play Store safe and open to people of all ages, Google has recently updated their Developer Program policies which will essentially ban apps like the one pictured above. (more…)

Facebook Messenger is the social network’s standalone app for people who prefer to chat with their friends and family through Facebook. While its possible to chat through the main Facebook app as well, Messenger aims to offer a much better experience. The Facebook Messenger for iOS has now been updated, and it comes with a couple of new features.

Users can now create chat groups within the app. They can essentially put together people that they want to message in a single thread and even assign them a name, such as “Family” or “Colleagues.” This feature keeps often contacted people all in one place, which makes it easier for the user to chat with them. Group photos can also be set, just to add a bit of color to the whole arrangement.

The app also includes a forwarding feature now. This allows users to send conversations or images to their Facebook contacts, even if those contacts weren’t a part of the original message thread. To forward, all users need to do is a simple tap, and its done. Other improvements have also been made to make the app faster and more reliable.

Facebook Messenger for iOS is available as a free download from the App Store.
