by Megan Lavey-Heaton (May 26th, 2011)

In the next effort to go toe-to-toe with Apple, Amazon took a swing at the Mac App Store and launched the Mac Download Store today. While its offerings aren't as robust as the Mac App Store, Amazon scored some big points by offering Mac software for download that Apple doesn't have -- namely ...

Merriam-Webster Dictionary now available on iPad for free

by Mike Schramm (May 26th, 2011)

You could argue that there's not much need for a separate dictionary app any more. With dictionary services built into nearly every interface and Google and Wikipedia searches just a tap away, it's not hard to find out what a word means or how it's spelled any more. But sometimes you may just ...

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Mar 22nd, 2011)

As we reviewed in late February, Tiny Wings is an addictive game from the moment you first launch it. For a tiny app, it's powerful enough to knock the mighty Angry Birds off its perch atop the paid app list in the App Store. As of early this morning, Tiny Wings still enjoyed the top ...

by Chris Ward (Mar 10th, 2011)

Verizon's network may reach areas that AT&T doesn't, but people stuck with AT&T have told themselves at least AT&T's data network is faster. While this is indeed the case, it doesn't make web pages load any faster on AT&T than on Verizon, according to a phone testing ...

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Mar 7th, 2011)

Radiohead releasing new downloadable album, MC Hammer releases new iPad single

by Mike Schramm (Feb 14th, 2011)

You may remember, about four years ago, Radiohead raising a stink over the digital release of its album In Rainbows. The band decided to "sell" the album on its website, asking fans to pay whatever they wanted, while at the same time shunning Apple's iTunes service, claiming they wanted to sell the ...

Movie Triangles is a fun Java game where you connect movie stars and their films in a Sierpinski triangle-style grid.

Yelp's iOS app goes universal

by Mike Schramm (Dec 24th, 2010)

I have to say, I really like the Yelp app on my iPhone. Of course, I'm in LA where there are plenty of full listings for all kinds of things; I can see how Yelp might not be quite as useful in a less populated area. But when I need to find a new restaurant or where a certain retail place is, I've ...

TUAW's Daily App: Scrambleface

by Mike Schramm (Dec 8th, 2010)

Scrambleface is a simple app that does one thing pretty darn well. All it does is take live feed from an iPhone or latest-gen iPod touch's camera (and it does require iOS 4.0 or higher), then it turns that into a sliding puzzle for you to unscramble. It's not flashy or crazy, but it is kind of fun, ...
