iOS App of the Day: Shazam

As Mother’s Day approaches I thought it would be helpful to take a closer look at a few of the card sending apps that the Google Play Store has to offer. With the ever-present convenience of e-mail, e-cards, and text messages it’s rare to actually receive a real card in the mail

Android App of the Day: Sleep as Android

As a true night owl sleep is something that I find hard to commit too especially when there are so many other things I could be doing (writing for TheUnlockr, browsing the web, laundry etc). Sadly it seems as though when I finally do catch a nice wave of slumber

iOS App of the Day: XLR8

We can’t all be blessed to roll around town in our dream car, and let’s face it, there’s nothing thrilling about the sound of your Toyota Corola’s engine. Thankfully the XLR8 app for iOS uses your phone’s accelerometer to turn that gas economic sedan into the supercar of your fantasies,

iOS App of the Day: Parkmobile

When my local city started supporting mobile payments through Parkmobile, I was relieved. I spend a lot of time driving around, paying for metered parking and always running out of quarters. Unfortunately, this is the perfect recipe for acquiring a nice collection of parking tickets. With the Parkmobile service you can either
