Among iOS 8's many new features are some cool ways to let you interact with your apps without actually having to open them. Interactive notifications are one example, and another is the brand-new widgets available in Notification Center.

Developers have only started to roll out iOS 8-optimized updates, but here's a first look at that are putting the new software to great use.
Sunnycomb, the app that tries to predict how each day's weather will make you feel, is now available on Android.

Eight months after it rolled out an all-new Weather app for iPhone, Yahoo has announced that it’s now optimized for iPads too....
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…

Apple's new iOS 7, which the company unveiled last week at its Worldwide Developer Conference, says a lot about the future of mobile devices because Apple owns the future of mobile devices.
There’s a lot to be excited about after Monday’s announcement of iOS 7. Flashy new design! Panels! Automatic app updates! Voice calls over FaceTime!
