Doppi — A Great Offline Music App for iPhone
One of my biggest annoyances with iOS is just how terrible the stock music app has become over the last few years. It was fine and bearable before the launch of Apple Music, but the state of the app for offline music playback has become dismal after Apple shoved Apple Music functionality into it.

Reeder 4 for macOS Gets a Public Beta
Reeder 4 for macOS Gets a Public Beta
Reeder is one of the most synonymous RSS apps on iOS. It has been around for a long time and is very likely in the first set of apps that most people install on their devices alongside the likes of 1Password and Twitterrific or Tweetbot. Reeder 3, the current stable version of the app, went Free on iOS and Mac last year. Today, Silvio has announced and released a public beta of Reeder 4 — the major rewrite of the app. Some of the new features introduced in the app are:
- Read Later service with iCloud syncing.
- Article list with preview images.
- More layout options.
- Improved article viewer.
- Pull-to-Refresh
According to the developer, the iOS version of Reeder 4 is almost ready, so I’m hoping Reeder 4 will be out later this year. I can’t wait to see how it evolves during the beta.

Things 3 is an excellently balanced [...]

You are presented with two very similar design mockups — one is pixel perfect, while the other is just a bit off. You pick the correct one to progress and to boost your overall score. A game where your [...]
GRIS is a Gorgeous Game from Nomada Studio that You Need to Experience
I play a lot of games across almost every platform out there, but very few have managed to actually make me think, “Damn! This is the perfect game to write about on Beautiful Pixels.” I’ve written about a few games here and how great they look, but the moment I saw the trailer for GRIS from Nomada Studio, I wrote about [...]
