Services like CloudApp and Droplr have become immensely popular these days. You can sign up for a Free account and start sharing shortened URLs, images, screenshots, text or even videos or files with a few clicks. Both the services have had a nifty Menubar app for Mac that make sharing anything on Twitter ridiculously easy, especially using the global keyboard shortcuts. I’ve used both the services, along with their Pro plans in the past and have currently been using Droplr primarily on the Mac. But thanks to an app that came out today, I might just move back to CloudApp.…

When information about Scrobbles first landed in my inbox, I was quick to dismiss it. But going through my emails thanks to Mailbox, I realized what a nifty little tool Scrobbles really was. Scrobbles is an iPhone app that reads your Last.fm profile and displays…

Rise Alarm Clock is a simple alarm app by Simplebots for your iPhone or iPad. The app debuted on the App Store back in December and received excellent reviews from the press back then.

However, Simplebots have now released v2.0 of Rise which adds much of the requested features, making the app a solid alarm app alternative on the App Store. Rise features an absolutely stellar yet practically minimal design. It features a…

In the last couple of years, services like Spotify and Rdio (and to an extent iTunes Store + Match now) have become immensely popular and have become the de facto standard sources of music for millions of users. These services have great web apps, equally amazing mobile apps and a large collection of Music available to the users. However, one service that was once very popular as the best source of on-demand streaming music is now very rarely spoken about. Grooveshark started losing its popularity after it was riddled with multiple lawsuits one after the other, along with the lack…
