Ever since Elk — the ingenious currency converter app debuted on the App Store, it made waves with its lovely gestural interface. It even won an Apple Design Award last year.

Apollo is a fantastic app for a lot of reasons, but the most important one is that…

When we debuted The Dialogue a few years ago, the App Store, and the Apple we knew then, were quite different from how things are today. The Dialogue has been great at showcasing some of our favorite people in ‘design’ and ‘technology’, along with the stuff they’ve worked on. Today, I am talking to one such individual who’s had a very varied career over the last few years. Social networks like App.net came into existence and faded away. I followed Steve a long time ago and it is great to finally have been able to discuss various things, both in…

If you’re a regular reader of the site, you already know that elegant note-taking apps are a dime a dozen.

Agenda is an app I never thought I needed until I actually used it. Instead…
