Hands-On: Facebook Camera

Hands-On: Facebook Camera

Facebook’s continuing quest to touch all areas of our life (and be the place to share it) is getting bigger today with the company’s new camera specific app, “Facebook Camera”. The app, as the name suggests, is built entirely for quickly snapping photos, applying filters, and sharing them online. How does it work and is a separate app outside of the Facebook app for taking/sharing photos really necessary? GS investigates… User Interface Upon...

Google+ App Updated For Android. New Photo Centric UI And Features Abound.

The recent Google+ iOS update that saw the company pushing out sweeping UI and design changes, not to mention a handful of new features, has finally hit Google’s own in-house OS. Google+ v2.6 for Android brings a brand new, photo-centric UI as well as redesigned +1 buttons in an effort to make the app easier to use/share content, and of course to simply look nicer. Under the hood, Google has brought several new features to the table including: improvements to video...

“Unfold” iOS Lockscreen Tweak Now Available For Free In Cydia App Store.

“Unfold” iOS Lockscreen Tweak Now Available For Free In Cydia App Store.

Remember that awesome Unfold iOS lockscreen tweak we showed you just last week? Well, the jailbreak community (specifically, German developer Jonas Gessner) apparently loved the concept too as they’ve already whipped something up and shot it onto the Cydia App Store. As the concept depicted, the tweak itself is pretty basic; you unlock your screen by sliding across as normal. Though, instead the usual sliding button at the bottom, the screen folds in on itself into a...

[Update] Reveal For iOS Makes Reading Full SMS/iMessages Anywhere Incredibly Easy.

There are many things (large and small) that we’d like Apple to change in iOS with iOS 6 and beyond. More often, however, it is the tiny things that we interact with on a daily basis that usually go unnoticed that matter the most. Case in point: SMS/iMessage previews. As it works now, SMS/iMessage previews show a simple 1-line preview in dropdown banner when in app, and a multi-line preview when on the lockscreen. After a few seconds, the alert goes away and is...

Racing Themed “Angry Birds Heikki” Coming June 18th.

Angry Birds may be old news (and frankly, a bit long in the beak) but that doesn’t mean Rovio Mobile is going 100% with their latest hit, “Amazing Alex”, and leaving their original hit in the dust. According to The Next Web, Rovio Mobile will be launching another specially themed Angry Birds game dubbed “Angry Birds Heikki”. The only thing we know at this point is that there is an (obvious) heavy emphasis on racing as well as some kind of...

Social Discovery App “Roamz” Comes To Android.

Social Discovery App “Roamz” Comes To Android.

The popular social networking/discovery app, “Roamz”, that we looked at back in March is coming to Android! Beginning right now, Android users can enjoy finding and sharing (Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare) the world in which they live. The local-specific Roamz iOS app was pretty entertaining for us and think the Android version will no doubt win over a loyal following, too. Besides the great social/local discovery features, we have to give the Roamz team...
