BitWorth App

BitWorth — Cryptocurrency Net Worth Calculator

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard the words “Bitcoin” or “cryptocurrency” being thrown around a lot these days.

Day One Journal Adds End-to-End Encryption Feature to the iOS App

Day One Journal Adds End-to-End Encryption Feature

Day One Journal is by far the most popular journaling app for iOS today. The folks at Bloom Built have enriched and polished the app to perfection over the last few years, turning it into a stellar journaling app platform out there.

In version 2.2 of the iOS app released this week, Day One has added End-to-End Encryption as a feature. With this enabled, your journals in the app can be encrypted using a Key that only you know. All data contained in these journals is then encrypted, so not even the employees of Day One can view your data. Considering the sensitive nature of the data that the app typically holds, it’s great to see this feature being rolled out to the app.

Day One Journal is available for $4.99 on the App Store. Here’s a FAQ about this feature.

Vellum Finally Adds an In-App Purchase to Disable Ads

Vellum Now Lets You Disable Ads

Every time I have spoken about Vellum — the well-crafted iPhone app with a host of wallpapers, I’ve complained about the ugly third-party ads at the bottom that ruin the experience for me. Thankfully, the developer has now added an option to disable these ads via an In-App Purchase for just $0.99. The option is available via the info screen brought up by tapping the ? icon at the top right.

Vellum has also added a new wallpaper collection from NFNLabs.design created by our friends at NFN Labs.

Vellum is available for Free on the App Store.

The Winners of Apple Design Awards 2017

In a surprising change of tradition, this year for WWDC 2017, Apple chose not to host a public ceremony for their annual Apple Design Awards. Instead, according to Rene Ritchie at iMore, Apple held a private event this year with sort of a meet-and-greet with Craig Federighi and other Apple executives. The ADAs are immensely coveted and a big deal, and having your name announced in front of a large audience and to run to the stage to claim your...
