Apple has really been upping its game with curated app collections, and today a slew of amazing productivity apps were put on sale as part of a new “Get Productive” roundup in the App Store. It’s the most impressive roundup of app…

Firaxis has released Mac and iPad versions of Sid Meier's Starships, an anticipated turn-based strategy game, while 6 Wunderkinder has updated the Mac and iOS editions of its popular to-do list app, Wunderlist, with folders and a revised design.

An iOS developer has built what he reckons is the first browser app for Apple Watch — and managed to get it approved by Apple. It’s called Cufflink.

Apple in a rare overnight update on Tuesday issued critical accessibility fixes for all three iOS iWork apps, returning full VoiceOver navigation and editing functionality to Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

Google Keep is by no means an Evernote killer, but it's proven very handy on Android for those times when you need to jot something down, put together a quick checklist, or save an image or voice memo recording. And today, Google has announced it's finally making the move to iOS — a full two and a half years after debuting on Android. The iPhone and iPad version is basically identical to the experience that's presently on the web and Android, allowing you to search your notes, label them (with colors)...

You're now able to find files by file owner, email address, and take advantage of tools specific to each mobile platform.

A new application called Slidebox aims to help Android users clean up their photo library by swiping to delete unwanted photos, as well as use other tools to more easily organize photos into albums. It’s sort of like a “Tinder for Photos” with a few extra features, in fact.The app is now one of many utilities arriving to address a longtime challenge smartphone users…

Dropbox Paper is now available on iOS and Android, allowing users to collaborate on documents in real-time. The software first launched in private beta last year as Dropbox's answer to Google Docs, but is now available for anyone to try. You can join the beta at dropbox.com/paper and download the app from the App Store or the Play Store....

Despite months of speculation, many doubted Google would ever bring its terrific Chrome browser to iOS. But the search giant has put an end to the rumors by finally releasing it, and it’s kicking off this week’s must-have apps roundup. We also have a new weather app for those who like to keep it simple, arguably the best Google Analytics client for iOS, and more.

One of our favorite applications this week is a great new photography app called Simply Postcards that lets you turn any photo into a real postcard that you can have printed with a personal message and mailed to friends and family. Printer Pro is Readdle’s latest application for iOS, and one of the most impressive applications in our favorites this week. It allows you to wirelessly print a whole range of documents direct from your iPad, including email attachments, web pages, and iWork documents. Also f...

As August nights get cooler, we begin begrudgingly counting down the remaining summer days. Once Labor Day passes, it's back to school time for millions. The best part of...

CloudMagic, the personal search service that indexes your Gmail, documents, contacts, calendar and Twitter updates, is now available as a mobile app. The release follows a major update for the service this past fall, which added the ability to search Twitter and a move to host your personal index in the cloud. This switch is what enables CloudMagic to work across multiple devices, including now, iPhone and Android smartphones. Using the new mobile app, CloudMagic is surprisingly fast – and far more usef...

Priorities is the latest app in the productivity field and it may very well be an easy-to-use yet powerful way for iPhone and iPod Touch users to get things done….

As you some of you may have seen, we recently asked our Twitter and Facebook followers to name their favorite Mac desktop apps of the year so far – thanks…

I don't care about 99% of browser functions. Plug-ins are nice, but what I use most on a daily basis are tabs. And that one feature makes the Atomic Web Browser ($1) better than Safari/iCab browsers on the iPad/iPhone. It's a revelation. iPad Safari, despite its plentiful screen real estate, still uses the iPhone's technique of handling multiple tabs—you go to a separate page that lists all of your windows as thumbnails, then choose what you need. It's not horrible; it's just slower than browsing...

There's no shortage of note-taking apps in the App Store but Post-It's new PopNotes app lets you pretend your notes are digital post-its. Fitting, right? The way it works is that you can write notes and digitally "stick" it to that location. Those notes can be just for yourself or can be shared with your friends. The notes can be set up to appear at certain times and locations too.

Like Tapose, which made its debut on the iPad yesterday, Paper is a place to store ideas. But unlike the former—which is backed by former Microsoft honcho J. Allard—the latter is more sketchbook than scrapbook, and comes from a group of individuals who once worked on the now-defunct Courier project. Paper is not only brimming with ideas on how an app like this should be used on an iPad, it's full of ideas on how we should interact with the iPad in general. In this regard, it's much like the to-do...

The Daily App Deals post is a round-up of the best app discounts of the day, as well as some notable mentions for ones that are on sale. Remoter: Remote Desktop (VNC) (iTunes) Previously $1.99, now 99¢. Remoter: Remote Desktop (VNC) is not our favorite VNC client for the iPhone as we like Screens best. However, we have featured Remoter before and noted that it's feature-rich and dead simple to set up. It is compatible with Mac Screen Sharing, UltraVNC for Windows, and LInux VNC servers. There is also...

The Daily App Deals post is a round-up of the best app discounts of the day, as well as some notable mentions for ones that are on sale. Starting a Business with Venture Capital (iTunes) Previously $9.99, now Free. Starting a Business with Venture Capital for iOS is an app that showcases over 40 videos that instruct entrepreneurs how to pursue funding for their company (without giving up a large portion of their company in the process). Covering the protection of an idea, to planning and pitching, to...

Nearly six months after launching Paper for iPad to much praise and fanfare, George Petschnigg still can't stop smiling. Our interview hasn't even begun and he's already spouting off the various ways his team has tightened up Paper to be easier and more intuitive for users. It's typical startup founder talk, except Petschnigg leads an unusual startup that has thus far delivered on its promises to build a great product. Ask him about money, and his tail drops between his legs as if he's ashamed, or...

November is National Novel Writing Month. But even if you're more into blogging than longform, you could still use a little writing push, am I right? SEE ALSO: 7 Mobile...

When you first open the Easilydo app, it suggests connecting with your Facebook account and your iPhone Address Book.
