OmniFocus 2 for iPhone brought a visual overhaul to Omnigroup’s OmniFocus that later made its presence felt in the Mac app. OmniFocus 2 for iPad releases today and it takes design cues from the iPhone and Mac app. OmniFocus 2.3 for iPhone also shipped earlier today and it brought a great Today widget that displays the tasks due today and a systemwide share extension to add various kinds of items into OmniFocus from other apps both of which are also in OmniFocus 2 for iPad. OmniFocus 2 for iPad has a great new look to it and feels great to…

1Password is the most important app on any device for me. If you use it properly, it will be to you as well. Over the years, 1Password on iOS has gone from a passable companion app to a full fledged password manager to one of the most important apps you can install on your iOS device. I was honestly shocked at how much Apple introduced in iOS 8 at WWDC. 3rd party keyboards, extensions, and Touch ID access to third party apps were by far the biggest things announced that day. Touch ID support in 1Password was obviously the first…
I’ve reviewed some great calculator apps on Beautiful Pixels. All of them are unique and get the job done brilliantly. There’s one calculator app I’ve seen and heard way too much about. PCalc by TLA Systems has been around for a long time, and I mean a really long time. The Mac app is almost 22 years old. PCalc is the best professional calculator available on iOS. Today it becomes even better with some lovely additions in version 3.3 for iOS 8. PCalc 3.3 is a huge update. It adds full support for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus…
Laser Dog Games, the developers that brought us the absolutely fantastic Puk, are back with a new game, Alone. Alone combines popular addictive gameplay mechanics with great visuals and music. Like Puk, Alone is full of polish and oozes class. Alone is awesome right from the get go with amazing menu animations and a catchy but understated soundtrack. The game feels derivative in its mechanics but it combines the best bits of games that make you keep coming back for more. It has precise controls that really feel perfect. The procedurally generated terrains combined with the super fast twitch based…
Although I haven’t posted on Homescreen.me lately, it has always been a nice place to discover new apps and see what others are using. I bought Quotebook by Lickability a long time ago and actually used it quite a bit until the release of iOS 7. Quotebook is a simple and elegant app to collect quotes. There are a number of use cases for it, even in professional environments. Yesterday, the folks at Lickability released Quotebook 3, which is quite an update. The app has been redesigned from the ground up to look great on modern iOS devices. It may…
Most Android phones today have an LED notification light and many apps have started making use of this with colored LED notifications for their apps. In many cases, the default behaviour is disappointing and many apps end up using the same color for their notifications. This is where Light Flow shines. Light Flow has been around for a while and it is one of the few apps that I install first on any Android phone I’m using. The customization options are fantastic and the app support is the best in class. I borrowed Preshit’s Nexus 5 for a few weeks…
