iAccounts password manager - comfort is definitely a must

Remembering your passwords is probably one of the biggest pains in the you-know-what when it comes to surfing the net. With more and more sites require you to register to gain access you almost need a little helper standing at the ready. I've tried many password reminders in the past for pc/mac/idevice and have often found them wanting. Luckily, VenticentoStudio’s handy iAccounts password manager has come to my rescue. It is a password manager that can handle just about anything you throw at it – just don’t literally throw things at your device, okay?

Once you start adding records in, iAccounts looks very much like your contacts.app and sorts everything out alphabetically. I've mentioned before about familiarity and it’s effect on people’s comfort and when it comes to dropping your personal and private passwords into an app: comfort is definitely a must.

Viewing entries look just like contact cards. Instead of images and phone numbers, you are given the names/passwords and other critical info related to that entry. Everything is laid out in a simple table format which makes for excellent readability and prevents confusion.

Security is a big thing here – you could potentially store sensitive information here and you don’t want just anyone to be able to read it. First off, they use a great encryption engine that prevents unauthorized access. Also, in order to backup, you have to set up a PIN which protects information so that after 5 wrong login attempts, the entire database is destroyed.

This app does just about everything you need a password manager to do. Aside from not hiding passwords at entry screen, iAccounts is a very secure app. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a password manager and who wants the ability to customize each record however they see fit. If you’re still not sure, then check out the free iAccounts Lite.

Instagram for Android has been updated and has been given a much cleaner looking UI. You’ll no longer have to rely on third-party tweaks in order to get the same look and feel of the popular photo and video-sharing app. According to the Instagram team, the update not only brings with it a UI overhaul for Android users, but also provides a faster and more responsive app. Profile screens will also load twice as fast and the app size itself has been cut in half. Finally, the Android version of the app gets a much-needed overhaul. Initial tests on the updated app confirm what the Instagram team had posted: it is definitely much faster than it was before it was updated. And boy is it pretty to look at now.

Tweet View Counts to iOS App

Image
Twitter is currently experimenting with a new feature that, like posts to Facebook groups, shows users just how many times their individual Tweets were seen by others. It's a move that, while useful, is sure to send some users – this author included – into a spiral of depression upon realizing that, no, your friends might not really care that much about your 140-character insight. According to reports from numerous Twitter users, a new "# views" item appears beneath the content of one's post – but above the left-facing arrow – for those using the official Twitter app on iOS. For those using Twitter in any other capacity, like posting or reading via good ol' Twitter dot com, the official Android client, a third-party app, or any other creative means for accessing the service, the view count currently appears to be an exclusive test – or full-fledged feature – on the iOS app. If we sound a bit lacking in detail, that's because we are.
