We’ve previously written about Meernotes little over a year ago and now the latest update brings tons of new functionality and more importantly, more beautiful pixels. Meernotes by Fabulously Retro is another great example of skeuomorphism done right on iOS. This update also brings support for the 4-inch Retina display on the iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation). Meernotes 2 packs a powerful feature-set in the bundle.

Ever since its debut on Kickstarter, Chameleon Launcher has been turning heads because it is unique and looks amazing. After getting funded and a month of beta testing, Teknision have finally released Chameleon Launcher for Android tablets on Google Play. It gets its name because it aims to switch homescreens depending on conditions like time of the day, wifi network or GPS coordinates. Chameleon Launcher is by far the best looking launcher for Android tablets. It is entirely widget driven and unlike other launchers, this one relies on its own widget design. There are advantages and disadvantages here. The widgets…

With the fall TV season just about to explode, I decided it was the right time to talk about an App that not only looks amazing but also has an insane amount of features.

The Getting Things Done (henceforth GTD) philosophy involves using something externally to record all your tasks so that your mind is free from the job of remembering them. Once the mind is free from remembering tasks, more effort can be spent on actually doing the tasks. As with most things in our life, a cleaner and clutter free interface always helps. While there are quite a few suites of popular GTD apps, Things by Cultured Code outshines them all with its latest update with a stunning new updated look. Things 2 is a major upgrade (available for free to existing…
I really love apps that completely embrace the platform they are on and 627.AM by Justin Liu is a perfect example of how even something as menial as an alarm clock app can be done brilliantly. It should be a showcase app for Windows Phone. The app has 6 main sections on its home screen. It has a ‘Things To Remember’ section on top that has your daily chore list. You can easily add and remove tasks from here by tapping on the + or X button. The main section is the alarm clock which you can access by sliding…
