100 Days in the Future: iOS 7 Review

Submitted by Sl on Wed, 25/09/13 - 10:48

This week, Apple released iOS 7 to the public, and it was massive.
There were millions of tweets and posts about iOS 7 24 hours after the release, a lot of developers got to publish the updates they worked on for the past 100 days, with a lot of new updates appearing in the store. I went into the store and took a look at the updates-
Out of 90 apps I constantly use, 40 were updated and half of the updates also featured a beautiful new design for iOS 7. I was surprised(I was expecting a lot more) that only 2 updates were “paid upgrades”(the app's update was released as a separate app) - Reeder 2 and Clear for iOS 7.
I have been using iOS 7 on both my iPhone and iPad every day since the first beta arrived and here are the features I like the most.

App.net is a social network and API that launched almost a year ago. I have been following it since the launch and registered for a free-tier account on April and I really like it. For the past month, I decided to recheck all of the apps that use the service for a better mobile experience. Read more about App.net and my mobile experience inside the article.

Plex and XBMC

Since I purchased my 3rd generation Apple TV on March of last year(2012), I have been looking for a way to watch flash videos/streams from the internet on it, I have been testing media services that could work through AirPlay, and even tried to create my own, until I settled for XBMC with the Navi-X plugin. I have tried Plex before XBMC, But it's focus on local files seemed like the opposite of what I wanted, so I went on for XBMC.

It all changed last month, when I found PlexConnect. If you wanna know what is PlexConnect and how did it change the way I watch media on my Apple TV, Read more inside the article.
