If you love going to gigs with your friends, Jukely is an iPhone app that aims to make the process easier. Currently available in ten cities across the US, the app will show live music acts that are performing around your area. You can tell the app your tastes via multiple sources including; syncing your Spotify, Rdio, Last.fm, SoundCloud, Hype Machine and also your iPhone library (other than Facebook/Twitter, of course). You can also manually choose genres of music if you like. Using this info, the app also sends you notifications only when there’s a matching concert playing near you.

There are umpteen To-do, Reminder and Note-taking apps on every popular platform. Let’s face it, the above three have been the most primitive functions that handheld devices from the time of the PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) had built-in. And they’re evolving even today — simplifying the user experience and adding modern day functionality that today’s smartphone hardware has to offer. DOOO is one such app that tries to combine the above three in a stunning package; hoping to be your one and only go-to ‘Thought Manager’. DOOO is delightful to look at. The use of attractive icons, soothing yet striking…
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But what if you’re able to make a picture even more meaningful? Any event today can be easily documented by taking a quick photo from your phone or anything on your screen can be captured via screenshots. I’ve been using Skitch as my go-to app for adding perspective to these images. And like many other apps that got a visual refresh along with iOS 7, Evernote too launched the third version of its popular annotation and image modification tool. Skitch 3 means business the moment you fire it up. It launches…
While my colleagues at Beautiful Pixels have all been using Tweetbot as their choice of Twitter app for the most part, thanks to its streaming feature and customizable notifications, I have always been in awe of the Twitterrific 5 user interface even before I owned an iPhone. Which is why it was the first app I bought from the App Store after setting up my newly purchased iPhone 5. One could say this 3rd party Twitter app was way ahead of its time in terms of design. Unlike most other apps, Twitterrific’s UI design and interactions weren’t jarring on iOS…
In my childhood, my mum was absolutely scared when my school timings were about to change from afternoon to early morning. Fearing that it would be quite the task to wake me up every morning, she used an effective strategy. Instead of scaring the little-me with the time I had to get up, she would subtly remind me of the time that I had to go to sleep. Thus, waking up early was never a problem for me (and a delight for her, I suppose). I now realize that nearly every mum in this world must have done the same…
A Portable Voice Recorder (famously known as a Dictaphone) has always been a companion to reporters, students and to any professional wanting to keep things on record. The change from cassette-based Dictaphones to digital ones made them sleeker and lighter, and you could jump between recordings in an instant. But still, that’s pretty much where the function of most Voice Recorders ended — you still had to put those files on a computer for further usage. Now, a combination of Smartphones and powerful apps is on the verge of making yet another standalone device redundant. Recordium is a Universal app…
