Macworld also took a closer look at Apples overhauled, Google-less Maps app. We also let you know about Twitters iPad app redesign.
Other new and updated iOS apps that caught our eye this week:
AnyList/Doable: Weve long used the iPhones native Notes application to make our grocery list before going to the store, but the free AnyList iPhone app from Purple Cover is an improvement on the basic model: Users can share their grocery lists with spouses or roommates, who can then add or subtract items from the lista change made on one device will appear on every device where the list is in use. Which means you can send your husband to the store and add eggs to the list after hes left. If youre looking for a more advanced get-things-done app, Doablea $1 iPhone offeringwill help you plan your day: As it learns your habits, it will start to tell you if youve scheduled too many activities into too short a time. Which means, yes, your iPhone might be smarter than you.
Cinemagram: Its probably easier to show you a Cinegram than it is to explain it, but here goes: Its not a still photo and its not a videomaybe its best to think of it as a handcrafted animated GIF. The makers of the free Cinegram iPhone app present it as a method of adding just a tiny bit of animation to your picturesthe pages of a book might flip in an otherwise-still photo of a woman sitting in a library, for example, creating an eerie effect. (You do this by filming two-to-three seconds of video to help create your animated photo.) The latest update to the app offers new Instagram-style vintage filters to vary the effects, as well as tools to fine tune the final product. The app also has its own Instagram-style social network, for sharing the cool images youve created.
Dr. Seuss Bookshelf: Dr. Seuss classics like The Cat in the Hat have long been available as iOS apps. The free Dr. Seuss Bookshelf app doesnt replace those earlier offeringsinstead, it helps you organize and add to them: When new Seuss apps become available or are available at reduced prices, the app alerts youotherwise, you can arrange your existing Seuss apps on a shelf, to be easily organized and opened at your hearts content. Oh, the places youll go!
