Posted on by — Leave a reply

This post shows how to access the stock Calculator app’s hidden buttons by turning your device sideways. Some of the most useful apps in iOS are the simple ones. The stock Calculator app on iPhone and iPod Touch has been around since day one and is a great option for doing quick calculations on your device. However, sometimes the Calculator can be too simple.

Posted on by — Leave a reply

The Top Two iPhone 5/5s Wallet Cases Phone, wallet, keys. It’s been my routine for countless years that’s translated into the post-leaving pat down. Phone in the front right pocket, wallet in back right pocket and keys in the back left – check… ready to go. My desire to be more minimalist and simple has always waged war against the boy scout motto of “always be prepared”.

Bloard – Use dark keyboard by default on jailbroken devices

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Bloard is a jailbreak tweak that uses iOS 7’s dark keyboard as the default keyboard throughout iOS. If you’ve been using iOS 7 for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that there are two different keyboards included with the OS – a light keyboard and a dark keyboard. Most often, iOS 7 opts for the light keyboard as it is more in line with its white design aesthetic. However, I remember that when I saw the dark keyboard slide on to the screen for the first time when using Spotlight search I thought, “Woah.” The dark keyboard matches my Continue Reading →

This post shows you how to see when you received each message in the iOS 7 Messages app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. I don’t know about you, but of all the apps on my iPhone I probably use the Messages app the most. Text messaging has become so engrained in our society that it’s something that we don’t even really think about anymore. The Messages app in iOS has always been good about telling you when a conversation happened or, specifically with iMessages, telling you when a message you sent was received or read. But what if Continue Reading →
