Just in time for the holidays, a new iOS app sale called App Santa is offering users deep discounts on some of the best paid iOS apps of this year. App Santa is a collaboration between ten indie iOS developers, with each offering up to a 60% discount on their respective iOS apps. The apps in the list include several of those highlighted in Apple's own Best of 2013 list, as well as some of Mashable's picks for apps that look great on iOS 7.
There's no shortage of apps that want to help you document your life, but there are none quite like Kennedy. The critically acclaimed app Day One has carved out a niche for itself as the go-to journalling app for iOS users, offering a selection of features that allow you to log your life in private and share what you want in public. Kennedy takes a different approach, stripping away much of the interface, preferences, and sharing options that make Day One so popular, and leaving you with a surprisingly...

Yahoo's new direction under Marissa Mayer is still coming together, but one thing they've unquestionably done right is the weather app for iPhone they debuted earlier this year. The iPad version has just been released, and it's about as close to a native iPad weather app as you can get, given the similarity in design choices between Apple's native iPhone weather app and that of Yahoo's third-party…
Weather apps have a depressing tendency to be iPhone-only, as if iPad owners have never idly wondered whether it was raining outside or not. Yahoo’s gorgeous, Flickr-integrated Weather app was one of these, but no longer: version 1.5 of the…

As Apple's App Store nears 50 billion downloads, the company reveals the all-time most popular apps for iPhone and iPad.
Sometimes an explanation requires more than just words. A new iPhone app called Shadow Puppet lets users generate narrated tutorial videos or photo slideshows straight from their phone.

There are many thousands of apps. Whatever your goal, as Apple’s erstwhile advertising campaign proclaimed, “There’s an app for that.” But some apps are simply must-haves—whether for their functionality, their interface brilliance, or just their entertainment factor. Here are ten apps your new iPhone shouldn’t be without....
While developers updated tried-and-true apps that let users listen to music, read and browse the Internet to coincide with the release of iOS 7, a brand new app from an established site helps users do something rather unusual on the iPhone -- buy art. Artsy, a website that features more than 50,000 works for users to browse and buy, launched its first app, which is designed for iOS 7, on Wednesday.
Apple released iOS 7 on Wednesday, and debuted a huge visual overhaul along with it. Heavily textured backgrounds and dark colors are out, while soft gradients, thin sans-serif fonts and bright, bold hues are in. After looking at apps designed for iOS 6, Apple's latest operating system immediately seems out of place. Fortunately, many developers spent the better part of the summer preparing their apps to look at home on iOS 7.

There are countless weather apps for the iPhone (and with iOS 7, a legitimately great built-in app), but that hasn't stopped developers from coming up with new ways to tell you when it's going to rain. The latest of these ambitious apps is Perfect Weather, the newest creation from Contrast, formerly App Cubby. Perfect Weather makes bold claims right in its name, but is it the be-all end-all for weather apps?...
WeatherSphere, a small Mountain View-based startup founded by former eBay engineer Raghav Gupta in fall 2012, is focusing on developing mobile applications that look at the weather space from the technology point of view. Today, the company has a handful of paid applications in the Apple App Store, which consistently rank in top charts in the Weather (paid) category.
Many apps are already adopting the new look of iOS 7 before it launches. You may find some new favorites as developers scramble to update.

Use these apps for weather to lock down accurate forecasts -- all in a user-friendly UI.
In San Francisco, it is often said that if you don’t like the weather, just walk a few blocks. Due to a marine layer and some incredibly varied topography, the temperatures here can vary remarkably within the length of a square mile, making it hard to know if you should bring an umbrella, or sunglasses. (So many people opt for both, which is…somewhat ridiculous to witness firsthand.)...
Mobile weather applications may be becoming the new playground for user interface designers, but few can also make claims as to advancing the technology behind the display of the weather on users’ smartphones, as well. But that’s the case with Minutely, a newly launched mobile weather application for iPhone and Android which not only offers the usual assortment of weather info, like temperatures…
