In an announcement made today, Facebook has revealed that it will be launching an app on February 3rd (in the U.S) to rival news aggregator service Flipboard. The paper app is a slick, gesture driven piece which strips away the clutter of your standard news feed and looks set to completely revolutionise the way you…

App of the Week 27th January

Our app of the week is actually one that we’ve been using for quite a while now, but it’s made its way up onto the App Store’s Best New Apps section this week so I thought we should take the time to do a little feature on it.  CamScanner is, as the name sort of…

Zapp, Mobile Banking App

Mobile payments are a thing which has always struggled to take off.  It could be because people are set in their ways and generally don’t like change, contactless payment has had quite a slow take-up and that by all accounts is simpler and easier than traditional payment methods.  Convincing people that they should pay with…

App of the Week 20th January

This week’s reviewed app comes from co-founder of Twitter, Biz Stone, and is quite unsurprisingly a new social network.  The app is called Jelly and it’s actually a really interesting idea, rather than just being a platform for people to share photos of their lunch, their pets and their new lift record at the gym;…

Apple Reveals App Spend for 2013

We’re over a week into 2014 now, so you would be forgiven for thinking there would be no more looking back at 2013 anymore, however Apple announced these figures on Tuesday which we thought were worthy of taking a look at.  Over the whole of 2013, iPhone and iPad (presumably iPod Touch as well) owners…

App of the Week 6th January

Happy New Year!  Hopefully you all had an excellent festive season with plenty of food, drink and fun.  It’s back to the real world now though, no more getting out of bed at midday and eating leftover turkey for breakfast / lunch.  If you’re anything like me you decided to go all out over the…

Biggest Tech News of 2013

We published our top five favourite apps that came out this year earlier in the week, but we don’t just review apps on this blog, oh no we don’t, every week we also take a look at a bit of News that we think you would want to hear about.  Here are the biggest tech…

App of the Year 2013

It’s rapidly approaching the end of the year, which generally means it’s time to take a look back over what we’ve all done and what our favourite things from the last 12 months have been.  It’s no different in the Tradebox Office, every week this year we’ve told you what our favourite app has been…
