Nexon has released a version of its extremely popular (in Asia, at least) Dungeon Fighter Online game on the iPhone, called Dungeon Fighter Gunner. You can download the title right now — it’s pretty standard fare, featuring lots of onscreen touch…

If I sound a little flustered in today’s Daily App video below (you have noticed that we do one of these per day, right?), it’s because I am a little flustered. Gameloft has earned a reputation on the App Store for ripping off more popular traditi…

Pocket used to be called Read It Later, and it actually did fairly well under that branding, as I remember. But the app was revamped to Pocket a little while ago, and since then, has been growing a little empire of apps designed to save content on…

You should take this with the requisite grain of salt, because it’s not all that groundbreaking. AppleInsider notes that several references to Apple computers running OS X 10.9 have appeared on its server logs, suggesting that someone visited the …

Curiosity, a free app that arrived on the App Store last night, is more of an experiment than a game. It’s developed by a company called 22 Cans, which is Peter Molyneux’s latest endeavor. Molyneux is the famous creator of classic games like …

I’ve become a big fan of Zeboyd Games recently — their last title, Cthulu Saves the World, is a really well-designed (and funny!) love letter to the Japanese RPGs of yesteryear. Penny Arcade is a very popular video game and pop culture webcomic t…

I don’t know if I’m 100 percent behind this trend in social/meta news reporting lately — I tend to get most of my most insightful reading done from very long, well-researched stories, and so I still think there’s a big call for worthwhile reporte…

Game developer Terry Cavanagh has released a few really great games over the years — in addition to the popular PC title VVVVVV, he’s also the man behind iOS’ recent (and terribly difficult) hit Super Hexagon. Right now, he’s in the process of tr…

Romo is a little iPhone-powered robot that showed up on Kickstarter around this time last year. It was successfully funded and distributed out into the world, making everyone happy by cycling itself around with the buzz and whirr of tiny mechanics…

Kevin Tofel over at GigaOm stepped into the sunlight this past week (a dangerous endeavor for any blogger, let me tell you), and found out something strange about his new iPod touch: It doesn’t have an autobrightness function. That’s because it do…

The Verge forums user Sentry posted the concept art you see above for the (underutilized) iOS task switcher, and I think it’s awesome. Sentry’s vision adds a lot of worthwhile information to the multitask bar without sacrificing the clear layout.

I took a trip down to Tampa Bay, Fla., for my sister’s wedding last week, and before I headed for the airport, I loaded up my iPhone and iPad with a few new apps to check out on the way. Honestly, Fieldrunners 2 HD ended up taking most of my gamin…

Lodsys filed what many are calling a “patent troll” lawsuit against a number of smaller iOS developers last year, claiming that while Apple may have licensed its in-app purchase technology patents for iOS, individual developers have not, and sho…

A few developers have talked before about the App Store’s “race to the bottom” problem, and Joe Cieplinski has clearly been doing some thinking about the issue as well. In his talk at 360iDev this week, Cieplinski (who is a former English teacher …

Andreas Linde is the developer of an app called WorldView+, which is designed to let you view webcams from around the world on your iOS device (we took a look at the app here). He released the app on Apple’s App Store over four years ago now, and …

Beat the Traffic is a popular third-party navigation app. I’ve used it quite a few times to navigate the continuous traffic jams of Los Angeles, and the team behind the app has delivered several solid updates. Their hard work appears to have paid …
