Twitter for iPhone and iPad gains support for rich notifications on iOS 10

November 19, 2016 by macjeff

Twitter for iPhone and iPad, a free download from the App Store, now supports rich notifications on iOS 10 that come complete with embedded images and the usual options for interacting with tweets without having to open the app.

Pressing a rich Twitter notification on the Lock screen or in the Notification Center with 3D Touch pulls up an expanded view of the tweet with an enlarged image thumbnail, along with the usual options such as Like and Retweet.

With rich notifications on iOS 10, apps can deliver notifications to a user’s Notification Center and the Lock screen. In addition to text, rich notifications can include photos and other media, including streaming video.

For instance, apps like Netatmo Security can embed live footage from your connected security camera or live streams of games via the MLB at Bat app, right within a rich notification.

Screenshot via MacRumors.

In addition to rich notification support on iOS 10 devices, Twitter 6.66.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch also fixed a bug to stop showing duplicate ”in-reply-to” in each tweet.

Last but not least, they added a new “Turn off notifications for this conversation” button, allowing you to mute or completely turn off notifications for a specific conversation without alerting others in the conversation.

Earlier this week, Twitter began rolling out an expanded Mute filter and a more direct way to report hateful conduct.

Grab Twitter for iOS free from the App Store.

Your Table Awaits at 888 Poker – Texas Holdem

November 19, 2016 by macjeff

888 Poker — Texas Holdem offers up an incredible virtual playing field for experienced and novice poker players alike.

With real money involved, this simulated Texas Holdem app lets you try your hand at the basics of poker with a relatively small investment.

Features:

If you’re wondering what’s so great about 888 Poker — Texas Holdem, by Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Ltd, let’s start with its array of features.

This app is one created for the purpose of providing poker players with a virtual, easily accessible poker platform at any time they’re craving a game.

The games on 888 Poker are quick with options like the “fast fold” if that’s what you’re looking for.

The app also offers players an impressive selection of available poker games at any given time. Games do require a buy-in for a relatively small sum, and cashout is allowed after you’ve accumulated at least $10 in earnings.

Games are also offered at varying levels of expertise, allowing new players and experienced ones to enjoy both 888 Poker. Overall, this app definitely is a solid take on “virtual” poker.

Appearance and Layout:

This app is visually appealing sporting clean, easy to understand interfaces. While the graphics of 888 Poker definitely aren’t particularly impressive, they get the job done.

At the same time, however, a clean, simple poker table is really all you need for a virtual Texas Holdem game, and 888 Poker provides you with just that.

The game is easy to navigate; figuring out how to take advantage of the different in-app features is easily done.

The “need to know” within the app is always clearly displayed, leaving little room for confusion.

Value:

888 Poker — Texas Holdem is a free game to download.

First time players are automatically awarded a “starter” sum within their accounts to allow them to try out some of the features of the app for a limited period of time.

Further playing, however, does require buy-in fees of varying amounts. A minimum cashout value of $10 is required before you can actually withdraw your earnings from the app.

As a whole, I found the “starter” sum to be really appreciated; it’s enough to give you an idea of whether or not this app is one that you want to invest further in.

At the same time, while this virtual poker game provides players with a very non-threatening “environment” in which to play, many poker players would argue that the social aspect of poker is really an important part of the overall game.

888 Poker is a fun app for convenient “any time you want” poker playing, but it can’t provide the same kind of social experience that real, “in-life” poker will.  

888 Poker — Texas Holdem requires iOS 5.1.1 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Listen, Later, Firefox Focus, and other apps to check out this weekend

November 19, 2016 by macjeff

Looking for ways to pass the time before next week’s holiday mayhem? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together a great list of apps for you to check out this weekend including a service for anonymous communication, a quick and easy reminders app, and a new private web browser. And as always, we’ve also picked out some awesome games for you to try.

Listen

Listen provides you with a free phone number that you can call and text from—similar to Google Voice. And with the iPhone app, you are not only anonymous in your communication, but you can also take control of the conversation. So you can do things like disable voicemail, mute contacts, set auto-responses, and more. The UI looks kind of quirky, but still very clean, and early user reviews say the service is very reliable. If you like to sell things on Craigslist, or have any other reason to use an anonymous number, it seems like Listen is worth trying out. This app is available for free.

Later

In the market for a new reminder/todo list app? Check out Later. This app has a unique interface that allows you to quickly schedule reminders in a natural way by tapping on preset times like “this evening” or “next week.” Compare this to the typical app that wants you to manually input the date, time, etc.—essentially fill out a form—just to set a reminder. You can customize presets, snooze your reminders, and sync with the Later Mac app, but other than that there aren’t a ton of features here. Later is available for free.

Firefox Focus

The folks at Mozilla released a new app for iOS this week called Firefox Focus. It’s a fast, simple web browser with a focus on privacy. Focus offers users “next-level privacy” by automatically blocking a wide range of common web trackers and erasing your history—including passwords and cookies. You get all of this without have to mess with any settings, or enabling/disabling options. If you use the Private browsing feature in Chrome or Safari with any regularity, it’s probably worth checking out this app. Firefox Focus is available for free.

Neon Chrome

Neon Chrome is an infinite twin-stick top-down shooter with procedurally generated levels and destructible environment. Choose your character, enter the elevator and try to bring down the Overseer – again and again. We are talking about a high-end game here, filled with massive explosions, destructible environment, countless bullets and rich AI behavior. It’s playable with older devices, but for the best experience you’ll want to use a more recent iPhone or iPad. 50% limited-time launch sale. This game is available for $4.99.

Super Cat Tales

If you’d rather kick back with an easy-going platformer, check out Super Cat Tales. Its graphics may have drawn nostalgic inspiration from Super Mario World, but the game controls were designed for modern devices. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to climb, swim, jump and run—just use your 2 thumbs to tap on either the left or right side of the screen. The game features 6 cats with unique abilities, more than 50 fun levels to enjoy, lots of hidden secrets and achievements + leaderboards. Super Cat Tales is available for free.
