Let’s be clear about this: you’ll have to remember to load QLOCKTWO up when you want to see it, but it’s still a gorgeous way to make use of your iPhone or iPad while it’s not in use. If you’re the type of person to keep your iPhone or iPad …

If your iOS device is decidedly lacking in stories of girls dressing up as boys in order to charm other girls; fox ninjas with nine tails and frogs in tow; or unbelievably clumsy students who just really want to get into Tokyo University already, then you’ll want to download a …

The Worldwide Developers Conference will take place in early June, and with it will likely come a preview of iOS 6. As such, we’ve put together a team list (organized by author) of the improvements we’d like to see in the next iteration of iOS. The wishes here are varied, …

Due is one of my favourite apps on iOS. It’s consistently on my iPhone’s first home screen and I end up finding uses for it every single day. Even if you’ve already got great apps for timing things and setting quick alerts or tasks, you’ll likely still find a good use …

Diablo III – the latest, clickiest demon-slaying action RPG from Blizzard – launched earlier today at 3 AM EST and is available for the Mac. The release of D3 basically spells the end of the world for everyone’s free time, and the fact that a single $60 license works on …

There’s a fair amount of congratulating to be done when it comes to the release of Instapaper 4.2. Not only did Marco Arment manage to improve upon the reading experience of his best-in-class app, but he did so while welcoming a new member into his family. There’s a lot to …

I still use Alfred on a daily basis as a Spotlight replacement and file launcher. Now Alfred 1.2 is here, bringing with it a pretty significant new feature: 1Password support (Power Pack only). This new level of app integration means that it’s even easier to access your keychain of stored …

Manga Rock has always been my favourite manga reader for iOS, so I’m happy to announce that the newest release of the app, Manga Rock 2, is now available as a universal download for iPhone and iPad. MR2 is a completely new app (and therefore a separate download and purchase) …
