The Apple Editor’s Choice App for Managing Your Money
Ever wondered how many applications are released in the App Store every day? How many of them are active, and how many are left dying in the Store without being updated? What about active apps by top 10 categories?
In what has to be the most beautiful and actually informative infographic since a long time, the guys over at Meet The Boss let you take a look at the data behind the App Store curtain. Check it out after the break. (and click for full size) Read more
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Much needed features.
Gameloft have announced today that they have sold more than 20 million games on the App Store and that they have 47 game releases so far this year. Read more
This is one of the games I grew up with, one of those that deeply contributed to building my (geek) passion for retro-gaming. The Secret of Monkey Island, adventure game released by Lucasfilm Games in 1990, is now available as “Special Edition HD” on the iPad. It’s time to be a pirate, again. Aye. Read more
As if providing a great app that sets new standards on the iPad wasn’t enough, Apple has now decided to feature Twitter in the App Store homepage by choosing it as App of the Week.
What’s interesting is that Apple usually doesn’t feature apps in that section is such a short time (the app was released two days ago), but I guess that they knew about the app and they knew that it would rock. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brichter chose some folks over at the App Review Team as beta testers.
Anyway, great job. Go download the app, it’s free. And now, let’s wait for Tweetie 2 for Mac - again.
The new iPod Touch is awesome. It’s got two cameras (even though the rear one isn’t the same of the iPhone’s), it’s got an all new sleek and thinner design, it’s got a Retina Display. Unlike many people said on Twitter today, it’s the same Retina Display you’re used to on the iPhone 4. The camera is different, the display’s the same. The new iPod Touch is one hell of a music player.
Or, it’s not a music player at all. It takes photos and HD videos, it’s got a state-of-the-art display perfect for reading and gaming - Steve Jobs himself said the iPod Touch outsells both Sony and Nintendo combined.
It’s time to stop thinking about the iPod Touch as an iPod.
I’m a firm believer that there must be something wrong with many developers who publish apps in the App Store. Creepy artworks and soundtracks, scary screenshots in the App Store page, insanely horrifying user interfaces.
Crapptastic is here to help you find the best of the worst in the App Store, in case you ever wanted to do that. Founded by @Digeratii (Josh Hellferich, also owner of popular website iPad Apps That Don’t Suck) Crapptastic “celebrates the hilarity that is the iTunes App Store”, and in a good way: while those screenshots piss me off when I see them in iTunes, Crapptastic somehow manages to make me laugh everytime.
I mean, Listen to the pig? Seriously?
With the recent announcement of Facebook Places, it seems like Apple thought it was about time to showcase location apps in the App Store. So here it is, an “On The Grid” section [iTunes link] that lists apps such as Facebook, Gowalla, Foursquare and Twitter. The only paid app in this new section is GeoFences.
Check out “On the Grid - Location-based Apps” here.
