You may not need a pilot’s licence to take the controls of a remote control toy plane, but that doesn’t mean that keeping it in the air is easy. And to ensure that this iPhone-controlled RC SmartPlane spends more time flying than careening towards the ground, it features special software that automatically (and secretly) makes adjustments and corrections on your behalf.

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with the virtual QWERTY keyboard on iOS devices, making mistakes while typing is inevitable. Accidently place your finger on an alphabet you don’t want to enter and the touchscreen registers it as a tap, which results in a typo. The App Store’s search engine used to be very specific, making a spelling mistake when searching for an app’s would result in that app not being displayed in the search results. TechCrunch claims to have learnt that Apple tweaked the search engine a few weeks ago and it now disregards misspelled queries.
This obviously results into better search results. Apparently the App Store search engine can now also show relevant results even if the user doesn’t know if the app’s name has a space in it or not. Searching for the QuizUp game with a space in between would previously have resulted in the app not being displayed, but search for Quiz Up now and the app does come up in results. Developers who make apps with titles that are lengthy or hard to spell might see increased downloads now that the search engine isn’t so specific about app titles. For users, it is now much more easier to search the App Store for apps that they’re not sure how to spell or if they make “fat finger” mistakes frequently.

Apple quietly massaged its App Store search algorithms so that poor spelling, fat-finger mistakes, and confusion over software names is less of a barrier to finding the right title, sources claim.

Have you ever noticed that how you drive is often based on what you’re listening to? Softer music can make you a more cautious driver, while loud upbeat tunes make you more aggressive. But with this new app from VW it’s the other way around. It generates music in real-time based on how you already drive, so your habits behind the wheel affect what’s being played on your sound system.

Heads up Assassin’s Creed fans, if you enjoyed Ubisoft’s latest swashbuckling adventure in the form of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, you might be interested to learn that Ubisoft will be bringing the pirate adventure onto your mobile devices (both iOS and Android) in the form of Assassin’s Cred Pirates. Unfortunately this is not an extension of the game for console, but will instead just share a similar play setting, which we guess could be fun in its own right as well. The game will focus on naval battles and will star naval captain Alonzo Batilla.
The game will require players to enlist a crew for the ship and will battle for treasure, with the ultimate goal being La Buse’s treasure. Along the way they will encounter other pirates, assassins, and Templars. Originally announced back in September this year, The game will be seeing a release on the 5th of December and will be priced at $4.99 for both iOS and Android devices. In the meantime if you’re wondering what sort of game you will be getting your hands on, be sure to check out the trailer above for an idea of what to expect.
