The founders of Instagram, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, are very lucky guys. As I’m sure you all know, last Monday Facebook announced their acquisition of Instagram. Now, the blogosphere is ripe with chatter of Facebook outbidding Twitter for the photo sharing company. And, not only that, but Twitter founder Jack Dorsey stopped using Instagram [...]
A while back, we asked for help creating AppsGoneFree in Japanese and Chinese. As I’m sure you all know, AppsGoneFree is a huge part of AppAdvice. So huge, in fact, that we’re looking to expand in other timezones to share the wonderful, awesome free apps with everyone … and we need your help! We got [...]
We really love our community here at AppAdvice. We wouldn’t be anything without our readers. And the best part about this community is how active you guys are in the comments. We love seeing great discussion, debate, and laughs being shared by everyone. However, there are times that it gets out of hand. Although we [...]

So, we had some fun yesterday. In case you didn’t know, yesterday was April 1, and you know what that means: Man, are we glad that you were all angry when you thought we were ditching iOS for Android (well, most of you anyway). If most of you were pro-Android, we weren’t sure what we’d [...]

We also have an iPad app that allows you to play guitar while on the go, and a photography app that will help you fix underexposed photos.

Things have been getting a little crazy over here at AppAdvice. There are many changes coming to the site — and its direction as a whole — and we wanted to keep you all in the loop. We have obviously been huge proponents of Apple over the years. It’s the core of what we do: [...]
Earlier this morning, we posted about how we didn’t like Readability’s sharing practices. We didn’t like that they were seemingly “stealing” attribution from the sources that originally gave us these articles we’ve sent to their service. Within hours of our post, Readability has responded. And we’re blown away with how quickly this was addressed. They [...]
AppAdvice has teamed up with IK Multimedia in order to offer you a chance to win one of five promo codes for DJ Rig (0:500.99) for iPhone and iPod touch. DJ Rig is a full-featured DJ mixing app that finally allows you to ditch all of that expensive equipment and get right down to making [...]
Opuss, the social app that makes sharing words simple, has finally arrived on the iPad. The free app is now universal. First released in November for the iPhone/iPod touch, Opuss lets you read and share words with others. But, unlike Twitter with its 140 character limit, Opuss lets you post as many words that are [...]
Last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing this amazing game called Connectrode. It was beautifully done, down to the last pixel and tranquil music. Shay Pierce made this game for his wife; and you can tell. It’s carefully crafted, and a lot of love was put into it. I still play the game, in [...]
If you’re like me, OmniFocus is your everything. It keeps your hectic schedules and things to do and deepest, darkest secrets (okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration) all in one place, all flawlessly synced across all of your devices. But, oh no! OmniFocus for iPhone was recently plagued by a nasty iCloud bug [...]
So, it’s almost that time. It’s almost new iPad day. I bet you can’t wait to put your hands all over your new iPad and download some awesome apps that take advantage of that beautiful Retina display. I know I can’t wait. But how are you going to make that happen- Did you preorder- Are [...]
Do you guys know what tomorrow is- Friday. But more importantly, I get my new iPad tomorrow. What was that- You’re getting a new iPad too- What do you mean this isn’t just about me- Well, you’re right. Tomorrow is all about the iPad. The new iPad. The third generation iPad. The iPad that will [...]
Up to one million new iPads may be delivered tomorrow, when the third generation tablet makes its debut in 12 countries. How does Apple guarantee all those deliveries actually take place- Through a fantastic supply chain, according to ZDNet Mobile. The Apple supply chain is considered one of the best in the world, which should [...]
What happens when you’re a bit obsessive compulsive, have been working for 10 hours straight, and you’re an Apple blogger- That’s right. You start to find tiny things that are wrong with — or even missing from — your favorite iDevice. And then you write about them. I must admit, most of you probably haven’t [...]
We’re all wondering exactly what this new iPad thing will do — you know, the one being announced next week. And, unless you’ve been living under a rock (a really heavy, tech rumor-proof rock), I’m sure you have your own speculations lined up. But while you all wait impatiently for Wednesday to happen, you may [...]
AT&T today announced it is retooling its unpopular throttling policy for those users on a legacy unlimited data plan. Unfortunately, even the revised policy calls into question whether the company even knows what the word “unlimited” means. According to news first reported by The Verge, AT&T is resetting the caps it places on unlimited smartphone [...]
It’s been a slow news week, but that hasn’t stopped the iPad rumor mill. With the official announcement of the iPad event, all of the tech bloggers are going nuts. They’re grasping at straws in anticipation for what the third generation iPad will actually be like. Not all of these rumors are worth posting. In [...]
Last month, we demonstrated how horrible AT&T data throttling actually was is. We’ve been keeping all of you up to date on these ridiculous antics, and have been getting a lot of feedback from all of you as well. The overall consensus- Everyone wants to ditch the jerks. But is there hope of AT&T changing [...]
Apps are a big deal. And, no, I’m not just saying that because I work here at AppAdvice. The App Store itself has become not only a thriving economy, but a big part of what we do everyday. But there are so many apps, sometimes it’s hard to find exactly what you want, even with [...]
I was minding my own business on Twitter last night — just kidding, I never mind my own business on Twitter — when this popped up in my feed. I can’t remember who tweeted it first, but I was amazed and delighted, so I had to share.
More iPad 3 rumors- Yes. But at least we have pictures! Today, M.I.C. Gadget posted some photos in their own iPad 3 rumor roundup post, showcasing what is supposed to be the iPad 2 and iPad 3 side by side. The iPad 3 camera is purportedly bigger As you can see from both photos, it [...]
With the ever-growing number of “fake” apps and more ripoffs popping up in our App Store space, we feel it’s our job to warn you guys of those trying to take advantage of you, and your money. What is it this time- Pokemon! You may had noticed that a new Pokemon app, Pokemon Yellow, was [...]

Use the many weapons at your disposal to rid the world of the undead monsters: flame throwers, sniper rifles, and 24 other brain-splattering tools to help you along the way. This game has [...]
We were already disappointed with AT&T’s data throttling, which we demonstrated last month, and the hits just keep on coming. Yep. They’ve done it again. AT&T keeps sticking their customers with data rates and other fees, and now there’s yet another reason you may want to find a different carrier. In a letter obtained by [...]
We’re going to play a little game … As some of you know — at least we think you do, I’m not sure we’ve seen enough comments or emails about it — the AppAdvice app has been crashing for many users and has had some bugs for a while. When we said we were working [...]
Ever since the iPhone 4S came out, we have been bombarded with many Siri spoofs, including some horror clips. Do they ever get old- Maybe. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want to keep sharing them with you. We saw this over at The Next Web and had to show you guys. “Psycho Siri” is [...]

Once downloaded and installed, users have the option of adding e-books inside the iBooks app to a collection marked “Bookstand.” Items in this collection will be available to access via a shortcut in the Newsstand folder: touching a “bookmarked” [...]
I know I can’t enough of role-playing games (RPGs) on iOS. The problem is, though, is that sometimes they’re not done … well. Games like Battleheart were awesome to play, but lacked that something special. Crescent Moon, creators of games like Siegecraft and Pocket RPG, are set to release the new Raid Leader game on [...]
What is the deal with our innate urge to show people what we’re going to eat- And, even worse, we like to show people what we’ve eaten (ew!), or partially eaten. When will we learn- Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been known to spot some noms here and there myself. I use Foodspotting often. I [...]
Photojojo has some amazing photography accessories, not to mention they send you a dinosaur with each purchase, and who doesn’t love dinosaurs- Here at AppAdvice, our favorite photography items are the products they sell that make us iPhoneographers shout for joy: specifically, lenses. We reviewed some of their awesome lenses previously, including this telephoto lens, [...]
A few months ago, we reviewed Collage Pro for the iPhone, a digital scrapbook creator. Collage Pro allows you to create collages from your very own photos, as well as images from the app’s photo libraries. One of the things I had mentioned in the review was that I wished there were an iPad version. Although [...]
I know, I know. There are plenty of alarm clock apps in the App Store. But every so often we come across a few that we like, and guess what- Yes, sometimes we get some extra promo codes to give to you guys. Recently, we told you about Alarm Clock Connect by McLean Mobile Solutions. [...]
Doxie — an amazing document scanner made for digitizing and organizing papers, photos, and receipts — just got a little better. At MacWorld on Thursday, Apparent Corporation unveiled the new Doxie Go + Wi-Fi. It’s a new model that scans anywhere. You don’t need a computer to use it either: it sends directly to the [...]

So, let’s dive right in, shall we- XMG Studio is an independent developer of many mobile games like Drag Racer Pro Tuner and Cows vs. Aliens. They’re launching some new games this year for both iOS [...]
One of the most difficult tasks is, organizing tasks. Good productivity tools can be very hard to come by. As our workflow is a very important aspect of how we manage our life, we don’t want to come up short. The wonderful people from 6 Wunderkinder have been creating for months, working on a suite [...]
In our Internet space, in this World Wide Web of information and news curation, we can’t help but be overwhelmed. Most of us can neither narrow down the amount of news apps we have, nor can we seem to get a handle on how many RSS feeds we subscribe to. But will that change- Twitter [...]
Summify is a social summarizing tool. It connects to all of your feeds — currently only Google (including blogs), Facebook, and Twitter — and automatically summarizes which stories, news, and updates are the most important and relevant to you. This then gives you a personalized newspaper-like result. The company even had an iPhone app, which [...]
I was sent a unique, and simple, iPhone stand to check out, and I wanted to tell you, our readers, what I liked and what I didn’t like about it. This stand is called the iKliK. It is a multi-angle stand for the iPhone, and it is currently nine days away from being funded on [...]
Just when you think they have thought of everything as far as iDevice cases go, something like this comes out of nowhere. These iPhone cases are designed to, well, redesign part of your face — your ear! The product is actually just one case, with a set of six different ear designs. From a pointy [...]
This morning, the Apple education event was live in New York, and we were introduced to iBooks 2 and iBooks Textbooks. Apple just posted an education video on their website, in order to tell us more about this new connection with education and show us how amazing it really is.
