Step Out Of Bed! Smart alarm clock to get awake early with a tricky and awakening steps counter - Best alarm app to wake up on time with alarmy music ringtone ( $1.99 → FREE )

Step Out of Bed guarantees you will get out of bed every single morning. You’re able to setup multiple recurring alarms with different wake up messages, snoozing rules, and ringtones sounds. Step Out of Bed will then require you to set the amount of steps it will take to deactivate the alarm along with a photo of your destination. When it’s time to get out of bed, grab your iDevice and go for a stroll to take a photo of that same place. The app will count your steps and analyze the photo to ensure you’re not cheating.

PicSpin360 ( $2.99 → FREE )

It allows you to import any photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. You’re then able to rotate your photo freely within a 3-D environment to give it a new perspective. You’re also able to move, rotate, and resize it using common gestures. Your photos can be outlined with a frame, and they can be set against one of the built-in backgrounds or another photo. When you’re finished with your work of art, share it via Twitter, Instagram, AirDrop, or email.

TypoPic - Text 3D Rotation ( $1.99 → FREE )

You're able to snap a new photo from within the app or import one from your library.

You're also able to rotate text freely in 3-D space. Photos can be finished off with one of 10 filters before being shared via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or email.

LayerPic Pro - Superimpose Images and Photos Cut Out Photo Editor ( $1.99 → FREE )

Apps that allow you to superimpose photos are usually cumbersome, but not LayerPic. That’s what makes it so great. You’re able to choose batches of photos at once instead of repeating the process over and over. Then tap to select each photo you want to work on. Buttons around each photo allow you to perform basic operations like resizing and rotating. A menu bar across the bottom allows you to perform the rest of your editing like erasing swaths of photos and locking them into place.

To search the sky, just hold your iPhone up in the air and Star Rover will tell you what you're looking at.

Periscope for iPhone now lets you search videos and broadcast live from DJI drones

May 12, 2016 by macjeff

Periscope, a Twitter-owned app that lets anyone start a live video broadcast from their iPhone, today received a pretty substantial update on the App Store. Bumped to version 1.4, Periscope for iPhone now lets you search videos and broadcast live to the service from a compatible DJI drone.

In addition, the team shared a preview of their full beyond 24 hours approach that will be available in the coming weeks.

Broadcast search

This feature addition in Periscope 1.4 for iOS lets you search for broadcasts you may be interest in by tapping on the new Search button found in your Global List.

In addition to keyword-based search, you can tap on any suggested topic to broadcast about it. Simply add the relevant hashtag, or add the hashtag to your title directly, and you can start broadcasting about a topic.

Some of the topics to search for include #Travel, #Music, #Food and more. Tip: search for a special topic titled "First Scope" to welcome new broadcasters to the community.

Broadcasting from a drone

Today’s update extends Periscope’s existing support for GoPro cameras to drones. The application supports select drones from the popular Chinese company DJI, including the Inspire, Phantom 4, Phantom 3 Professional or Advanced and Osmo.

After connecting an iPhone to your drone’s remote, Periscope will automatically pull in drone’s video feed and let you switch between it, your iPhone cameras and GoPros. It’s especially cool that you can narrate from a bird’s eye view using your phone or sketch on the live drone broadcast to highlight different sights.

Tip: search for the "GoPros and Drones" topic to find clips from GoPros and drones.

The full list of supported DJI drones and additional instructions for drone broadcasters can be found in Persicope’s help document. As an example of the new built-in drone support, watch Zagat’s drone broadcast from a New York farm.

Broadcast from a bird's eye view with drones! Available on iOS soon.https://t.co/J3GfdW4JRX

— Periscope (@periscopeco) May 9, 2016

Coming soon: save beyond 24 hours

"Soon, your broadcasts will be automatically saved on Periscope and Twitter with comments and hearts," said the team. This will work in conjunction with the #save hashtag that you can add to your broadcasts to keep them beyond 24 hours.

Of course, you’re in control of your broadcasts and can delete them at any time via the post-broadcast screen or in your profile. If you prefer to have your broadcasts removed after 24 hours, you’ll be able to do so by flipping a switch in account settings.

Periscope is available for free on the App Store.
