Friday 5: Five Apps to Check Out This Weekend
This week's edition of Friday 5 brings you five apps to check out this weekend. The first app on the docket is Overcast, a well-known podcast app that has recently been updated to version 3. This update includes a plethora of new goodies, including a visual and functional interface that is both visually appealing and easy to use. One of the standout features of the new Overcast is its card-based interface, which slides down from the top of the screen when needed and reappears easily. Additionally, users can enjoy rich notifications, 3D touch support, widget compatibility, and even an iOS 3-compatible watch app.
For feed bin subscribers, there's a must-try app called Feed Bin Notifier. This app provides notifications anytime new articles are published, allowing users to stay up-to-date on their favorite sources without having to constantly check the website or app. But that's not all - users can also read full articles right from their wrist courtesy of Feed Bin Notifier's watch app. While it may seem like a small feature, this app is a game-changer for those who want to stay informed on-the-go.
For music enthusiasts, especially those with a passion for Japanese culture, there's an app worth checking out: Block FM. As the creator of the radio station explains, Block FM has made it incredibly easy to discover new artists and music in the genre that you love. With special thanks to spearhead Taki Takahashi, this app is a must-have for anyone who wants to explore the world of Japanese pop, hip-hop, or dance music. Whether you're a seasoned fan or just starting to explore these genres, Block FM has something for everyone.
Another app worth mentioning is Terminology, a dictionary, thesaurus, and research tool that is an essential part of many users' daily lives. This app allows users to look up words, add notes to them, save favorites, and even perform complex queries with ease. Whether you're writing a paper or just need quick access to information, Terminology is the perfect tool for the job.
Last but certainly not least, we have G Board, a third-party keyboard that has won over the hearts of many iOS users. While some may be hesitant about using third-party keyboards due to compatibility issues, G Board stands out as one of the best options available. One of its standout features is the ability to perform Google searches right from within the keyboard itself, complete with predictive text and search results below. For those who have been waiting for a reliable alternative to the default keyboard, G Board is definitely worth checking out.
So there you have it - five apps that are definitely worth your attention this weekend. Whether you're looking for podcasting, music discovery, research tools, or just a reliable keyboard, these apps have something for everyone.
