TodoMovies has been one of the favorite apps that I’ve discovered for my iPhone. The update to TodoMovies 2, back in April, was phenomenal and placed the update at a whole new level. It’s remarkable knowing that the team at Taphive is just two passionate minds working together to churn out fantastic & quality apps for iPhone. Today, the team has launched their second app on the App Store, this one following the same “to-do” theme from their previous app, but one that is much more delightful and stunning. Tick is a to-do app that primarily makes use of simple…

Over the last few months, we’ve been working on an exciting new category of posts here on Beautiful Pixels. Veteran readers will remember that almost 3 years ago, we used to run a series of posts called ‘Artist Profiles’ where we spoke to our favorite artists, designers, developers that managed to blow our minds with their work. Well, we’re bringing Artist Profiles back to Beautiful Pixels. In this first one, we spoke to Nial Giacomelli, the talented app developer from the UK. Nial’s work has gone into apps like Lumicon, Episodes, Diabetik & Nibble. We asked him a few questions…

While I’m not a heavy calendar user, I do find myself scheduling some odd events at times. I’ve been very content with Fantastical for my needs, as it does a pretty good job of understanding what I want to add, both on the iPhone as well as on my Mac. As someone who loves to check out new apps, I have been beta testing the Sunrise Calendar over the past several months. Late last week, Sunrise Calendar was updated to version 2.0 that brought a completely redesigned User Interface to the app, along with a much requested feature by its…

1Password has long been one of the first few apps I install on my devices after a fresh start and I’ve always recommend the app to everyone looking to take security and privacy of his online presence seriously. AgileBits have done a remarkable job with the app and with the release of 1Password v4 for iOS late last year, they completely revamped the user interface and added a bunch of notable features, making it the best password manager app available for iOS. Today, the company has released 1Password 4 for Mac, a major update that not only brings a complete…

A few days ago on Twitter, I stumbled across this absolutely gorgeous weather app, called Shade. Specially designed with iOS 7 in mind by designer Simon Gustavsson and developer Henri Normak, Shade offers a slick combination of some amazing choice of colors, simplicity in design and UI and just the right overview of the weather to get you started. Shade puts the right amount of emphasis on colors to indicate the weather conditions. By using bold colors, a simple glance is enough to tell you what the weather is like. The main screen in Shade lists all your locations one…
