A few weeks ago, Mikhail asked me to check out the new Reuters app for iOS that debuted on the App Store in February. I usually don’t explicitly read international or financial news, so you’ll never find a news app installed on my iOS device. The iPad makes for a great reading device, but the media companies in India all have terrible iOS apps and don’t really make good use of Newsstand. The only news app that I’ve enjoyed reading in has been the New York Times app. So when I did check out the new Reuters app, it blew…

I’ve had Fever for nearly 4 years now. As Shaun Inman's newest project after Mint, Fever was the HOT new topic around the block and everyone was jumping onto the bandwagon. I did too. It was a convenient new take on consuming RSS feeds and as a technology journalist & enthusiast, I used to subscribe to a lot of feeds (mostly Apple sources) back then. Fever offered an easy way to keep up with the news without actually diving in and reading though the clutter. But there was a problem — Fever was a web-only product and that meant there…

Back in February, when we first wrote about Horizon for iOS — the Calendar app for iPhone that also includes the weather stats for the day, Mikhail had nothing but good words to say about it. Horizon Calendar is a great app to give you a summary of your events for the day and the weather for each event. […] I really like the finer things in the app like the settings gear animation while it retrieves the weather and the colour coding for weather depending on the conditions. If you don’t need natural language input in your calendar app,…

Ever wanted a quick and easy way to file your daily micro-expenses and track the overall expenses you make? What if there was a quick and easy way to do this every day? Well, then take a look at Cents — it might just be what you’ve been waiting for. Cents is a beautiful iPhone app designed by Gordon Irving (who also designed Strophes for iPhone that we showcased yesterday) and developed by Marco Bellinaso and Francesco Burelli. It gives you a simple interface to file and track your daily micro-transactions with a few simple taps. Cents offers 8 pre-set…

Strophes, the beautiful lyrics reader app for Mac that launched back in June last year, has now arrived on the iPhone. For the uninitiated, Strophes is a beautiful app designed by Gordon Irving & developed by Alfredo Delli Bovi that reads what music you’re currently listening to, automatically pulls lyrics for that song from the web and displays it in a neatly designed interface. Strophes has been available on the Mac App Store for a while now, but it was released for iPhone only yesterday. Similar to the Mac app, the iPhone version is very beautifully designed and works just…

I have to carry out currency conversations multiple times a day. As someone who works from India and interacts with businesses and clients all over the world, currency conversion becomes a very integral part of what I do. And I’m sure there are several other folks out there who’re in the same boat. Even dealing with the new technology gadgets that are released in the US, currency conversions become necessary for every step of the transaction. For all my conversions, I was using Convertbot by Tapbots. It was a great app, but lately has pretty much been abandoned by the…
