Briefcase Pro - File manager, cloud drive, document & pdf reader and file sharing App , xSky , Zero+ and more

Universal:

Briefcase Pro can do it all. Files can be imported from cloud services including Dropbox, SkyDrive, Box, and GoogleDrive. You can also pull files in from your photo library, email, or your computer via Wi-Fi or iTunes File Sharing. Files can be viewed, played back, favorited, categorized, search for, and uploaded back to the cloud. You’re able to create your own TXT files as well. And, if you’re worried about document security, you can activate Touch ID or utilize a passcode.

Unlike similar apps, xSky really focuses on the view. The interface is clutter-free, sporting only three small icons: search, lock, and settings. You’re able to look around the sky just by holding your iDevice up and rotating. When something catches your eye, lock the screen and pinch to zoom in close. You can also search for objects in the sky and have xSky point them out.

The basic gameplay mechanics in Zero are simple enough. You must slide positive and negative numbered tiles around the board in order to achieve zero. The first few levels consist of just ones and twos, but things get crazy pretty quickly when large numbers and new kinds of modifier tiles enter the mix. Also, keep in mind that tiles won’t stop sliding unless they run into something. The game includes a total of 120 levels.

Before you're able to take new photos or import your old ones, you'll first need to set up a secure password or lock pattern. You can then jump right in and start taking photos or import them from your library. Private Camera Pro's built-in camera allows you to utilize four shooting modes, including a video recording option. The app also includes iCloud support, the ability to create albums and sort your content, Wi-Fi transferring, and sharing via Facebook, Twitter, or email.

LeechTunes is simply beautiful. You’re able to select from 21 built-in skins and themes or make the app truly your own by utilizing a photo from your library as your background. The customizable gestures make it easy to control your music no matter if you’re in the car or on an outdoor adventure. The app also includes voice notifications, a sleep timer, the ability share what you’re listening to via your favorite social networks, landscape orientation support, and artist info.

Easter break is around the corner: Five apps to help you save money while you roam

March 14, 2016 by macjeff

Eir recently announced that it is abolishing EU roaming fees, meaning that eir customers can use their existing call and text allowances in the EU and get access to an additional 1GB of EU roaming data.

Typically, when travelling, you absolutely shouldn't use an app that requires internet access, or if you are going to use such an app you should do everything you can to track down a Wi-Fi hotspot. With 1GB roaming data you have a little more freedom if you do need to go online.

With that in mind, here are some of the best apps you can use while abroad.

Wi-Fi Finder

You may not have to pay for roaming when in the EU, but you don't have unlimited data. It's still best to use Wi-Fi for certain tasks and especially if you want to use apps, or simply browse the net, for a prolonged period of time. Wi-Fi Finder will help you track down sources of wireless internet, and there's even an offline mode so you can download maps before you go.

Google Translate

It helps to have a few words of a local language when travelling, if even to show that you made some sort of effort. Google Translate puts a world of languages at your fingertips, helping you to fill in blanks or translate phrases wholesale. It's very useful when staring at a menu without English translations, for example.

TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor is a great tool to use before you book your holidays, helping you to find accommodation at your chosen destination. But it can also be beneficial when you're out and about. If you see a restaurant that looks tempting, or you simply want some inspiration, TripAdvisor will help you find the top rated restaurants in the vicinity.

Waze

It can be intimidating to drive in a foreign country, but Waze may make the ordeal a little more straightforward. Not only does it provide you with point to point navigation, but it provides real-time traffic updates, which are generated by fellow commuters. Users can update one another on traffic, construction, and even elements like police traps and speed cams.

Google Maps

While Google Maps now offers the option to download maps, there are times when you'll stray outside of the boundaries of your saved maps or you need directions. Google Maps can help you get from point A to point B, no matter where in the world you are.
