7 Best Android Twitter Apps

Okay, so let’s just get this out of the way –the official twitter app is kind of a huge bummer. Yes, there have been many improvements to the app over the years, making it less buggy and bloated, but overall, it’s certainly not the easiest app to use. It’s certainly not the worst app out there, but I’ll bet all my pennies it’s not the best. Luckily, if you’re an Android user, there are lots of great third-party apps to choose from, and many of them are head and shoulders above the official app. Unfortunately, Twitter knows this, and keeps trying […]

How to Send Gifs to People Easily from Your iPhone (Video)

If you don’t already know, one of my favorite features of iOS 8 was the ability to add your own custom keyboards. A feature, that I feel has been missing from iOS for a long time, that adds a ton of value to the end user. From keyboards that allow you to type easier with one hand, to keyboards that allow you to swipe across the keys to form words instead of tapping them out, to ones that even let you turn yourself into your own emoji, it’s opens up a world of customization options that can actually make your day-to-day

7 Best Apple Watch Games

In all our wildest dreams of future technologies, who would’ve guessed that we’d remain beholden to our damn tamagotchi pets?! It’s 2015 and according to Back to the Future II, we’re already knee deep in the future, and yet without fail, we continually pause upon the threshold of progressive technologies to collectively reminisce of the good old days of gaming. And so it remains that with the Apple Watch this nostalgic cycle continues. But today is not a day for wistful reminiscence. Conversely, we are here to dwell upon advancement; because, despite the proliferation of archaic heritage games, there is myriad of marvels of innovation within the field of wrist sized, diminutive gaming.

The Definitive Guide to Using Your Phone Overseas (Video)

I just recently got back from Canada for the Women’s World Cup (USA! USA! USA!) and besides a new love for Montréal – amazing food, beautiful European architecture, and everyone speaks French but isn’t angry to speak to you in English after an initial “Bonjour”, how can this place be bad? – the other thing I brought back with me was the understanding that not a single person I went with knew how to use their phone once we crossed the Canadian border. While they were scrounging, nay fiending, for open wifi networks, I was ready with Yelp reviews of where we

HBO has been good to us, you guys. Seemingly, HBO unofficially encourages HBO Go account login sharing which makes it possible for the economically disadvantaged to keep up with John Oliver and Arya Stark.

Well, the Google I/O conference brings more good news for Android users: HBO has just done us another solid by announcing the streaming HBO Now app for Android devices due out this summer (in time for Season 2 of True Detective, June 21st).

How to Use UberEats to Get Lunch Delivered in Minutes

If you haven’t heard, Uber just extended their free lunch delivery in Manhattan for another week to help promote their new UberEats service and this got me curious. How exactly does UberEats, from the people that take me to and from bars at ungodly hours, work to get me food faster than a traditional delivery service? I opened the app, ordered some food, and figured I’d show you what I learned. Here’s how to use UberEats: 1. Open the Uber app. 2. Select your location (like you would in Uber for a car). Important Note: At the moment, UberEats only delivers

Disable Auto-Updates on Galaxy S6

Automatic Updates: The bane of any power user’s existence. Why should some faceless, mega-corporation decide when we should have our apps updated?! I’m sorry… I thought this was AMERICA. However, all is not lost. Thanks to flexible settings, care of Google Play, we have the option to say “NO” to the atrocity that is auto-update… Ok, I’m being dramatic. Admittedly at times, auto-updates are sweet. (Especially now that Facebook has decided to roll out a new version every two weeks.) Nevertheless, for the sake exploring the far reaches of Android’s flexibility, let’s take a look at the topic. Keep reading to find out how to disable (potentially

Video: Make Emojis Personal, How to Turn Yourself into an Emoji

Sometimes the little yellow faces just don’t quite cut it. I mean, sure, sending someone a pointing finger and an “OK” is always a good time, but what if you could make it a little more… personal. Thanks to a friend, I recently discovered a new app called Bitmoji. The app takes our obsessive past-time of emojis and kicks it up a notch. After downloading the app from the Play Store/App Store, it walks you through the process of choosing physical characteristics step by step (video gamers will be very familiar with the tedious process of choosing just the right eyebrows for far too long) until

Take It from Photo to Art: Best Photo Editing Apps for iOS & Android

To say there are a lot of photo editors out there, might be a bit of an understatement. When I typed the words “photo editor” into my App Store search bar, it came back with 6,779 results. Woah there, developers, slow your roll. It can be a bit of a slog to figure out which ones are really worth your time, and which aren’t. If, for example, you really want to hyper-pixelate all your images, then sure, Pixelwakker is just what you’re looking for. Or maybe you want to replace your sister’s face with a shark head in all your
