by App.net spreads its wings
This week’s roundup of new and updated iOS apps features some of those “other” social media services.
App.net
This free iPhone app is helping its eponymous service branch out beyond its original role as an alternative social network. The word “RSS” isn’t used to describe the latest update, but you can now subscribe to, well, stuff on the Internet in a way that’s reminiscent of feed readers—only better, since you can program push notifications for specific topics that concern you.
Awesome Note for iPad
Macworld, way back in 2009, said that the original iPhone version of Awesome Note “overdoes things a bit.” That sounds like a mission statement for Awesome Note for iPad, which now touts itsself as an “all-in-one life organizer,” having added calendar options and the ability to sync with Evernote and Google Drive. The latest update gives the app that iOS 7 sheen, and now offers unified management of your reminders and calendar, bringing them together in a single screen so you can control your schedule and tasks efficiently.
Boxer
The $1 Boxer email client for Gmail and Exchange is now available as an iPad app; the newest update also features integration with Evernote and Sanebox organizing services. It also integrates with Dropbox, Facebook, and LinkedIn—and it’s also versatile, working with Gmail, Exchange, Yahoo, and other IMAP email services.
