Wordle – The App (please give it 1 star)

Wordle – The App is now on the App Store and you can pay a yearly charge to play it. The thing is that the entire idea, design etc has been mimicked to make the game for iOS and so I will not link to it. Also, the developer’s comments on Twitter are somewhat asshole-ish […]

Taking notes

Writing is an essential part of learning. Through writing, we demonstrate what we have learned. We display the ability to think critically. And we develop ideas.

When your fake iPhone app reviews go wrong (Widgetarium)

Widgetarium is an app, like many others, that slightly simplifies creating themes for your iPhone. Tiffiny seems to like it and gave it a 5 star review, and the developer responded to thank her.

Is online or local photo storage the way forward?

Arguably, encryption is Stingle Photos’ most important feature. Although the app uploads your photos to Stingle’s cloud service, the service’s operators can’t look at your photos.

We tried reaching out to Apple a total of 9 times last week, with no success

But Apple rejected it. They incorrectly argue again that our keyboard extension doesn’t work without “full access”, something they rejected us for THREE years ago.
