LatinPost goes hands-on to bring you the two best Black Friday 2014 apps for iPhone and Android. These days, Black Friday is as much a technologically assisted event as the now throwback-sounding "Cyber Monday" that follows.
Facebook's Creative Labs have come up with an app that's very un-Facebook: anonymous (technically, pseudonymous) chat, in Rooms. For iOS only at the moment, Rooms seeks to rekindle the early Internet phenomenon of strangers on forums, chat rooms, and message boards connecting with each other over common interests.
While most Android users will have to wait a long time to get the new Android 5.0 Lollipop system, there are already some apps available -- redesigned based on Google's new "Material Design" user interface guidelines. Most notably, so far, is a little-known music player that reappeared on the Google Play store last week with a new beautiful minimalist Android L design, called NexMusic.
In honor of football season, in this week's Tap That App, we look at theScore, probably the only sports app you'll ever need to track your favorite sports, teams, and players.
In this week's Tap That App, we take a look at a new video capture app from Instagram called Hyperlapse. You might be understandably skeptical if you haven't heard of it yet, because who needs yet another image capture app from Instagram? Trust us: you and everyone you know will want Hyperlapse.
This week's Tap That App is all about your life online, and how quickly to protect it from all crashing down at once. It's Tap That App's password manager special!
Foursquare has finally released its upgraded namesake app, after announcing earlier this summer it was splitting its popular location-based social media service into two separate apps. The new Foursquare comes with a completely new look, and some cool new features, provided you trust the company to protect a lot more of your location data.
Sure, ads are annoying when your visiting websites, but have you ever been playing a game or using an app on your iPhone and tried hitting a part of the screen, only to have that bit of real estate taken over by an ad, which you just accidentally clicked? There's no way to eliminate ads from inside apps, right?
Amazon's Prime Music service and its accompanying apps were released recently, after a long buildup of rumors that the company was interested in launching a Spotify-like streaming service for Amazon Prime members. Those rumors were right about the music service but wrong that it would be like Spotify. This week, we look at Amazon Music — specifically the Android app — a mobile and web music service that can truly be described as "very Amazon-y."
When was the last time Yahoo released a product on par with Apple and Google? When was the last time you wanted to replace your Android home screen with a third-party application? Remarkable things happen sometimes, and with Yahoo's recent release of the incredibly smart Android launcher Aviate, it just did.
Last Tuesday's keynote at Google I/O 2014 -- the company's developers conference -- introduced a lot of changes coming to Android, Google Cloud, and, importantly, Google Drive. Now Google Drive and its suite of productivity apps are more powerful than ever, and worth downloading, especially for the price. It's free.
Facebook has been trying to capture some of Snapchat's magic for a while now. While Facebook has been losing its appeal with young, active teens (an incredibly important demographic) over the past few years, Snapchat has caught fire with the same crowd. Now, in its third attempt at regaining that audience, Facebook has released "Slingshot," a Snapchat clone with a twist, which will either be the app's forte, or its fatal flaw.
Apple iPhone and iPad users have had a great selection of calendar apps to choose from -- starting from square one with Apple's own built-in Calendar app. But what may be the best iOS calendar has recently been released for Android. Sunrise for Android will simplify your life, starting with making it easy to use a calendar.
