I’m not particularly fond of reading, I have only ever read two books so far. But I do enjoy reading interesting articles on the web and subscribe to a lot of individual/personal blogs, as it is always great to hear someone’s opinion about something I am interested in. I use Pocket as my “read later” service these days as it offers a substantially better experience than its competitors. I love going through my Article Queue on my iPad while I’m lying down on the couch or having that cuppa coffee in the morning. But surprisingly, I never found myself reading…

Less than a year ago, we wrote about the TodoMovies app for iPhone, the app with the absolutely stunning UI that you could use to quickly and easily add movies that you wanted to watch. It worked like a Todo list for movies, pulling in meta data about the movie from TMdb and neatly laid it out for you. It was the perfect utility to pull out from your pocket when a friend recommended a movie you’ve never heard about before or one that you saw mentioned on your social media feeds. And for a big movie buff like me,…

One of our awesome readers recently sent us a link to this flashlight app on the iOS App Store. Now, one might say that the App Store is already overflowing with simple, one-feature flashlight apps already. But if apps like this are making their way to the App Store, I’m not complaining.

The textures, shadows and gradients are superbly implemented and HLP Flashlight shines in every aspect. But…

That being said, a lot of you will also agree that the Mac hasn’t seen much action lately. Sure, there are a…
