It may be the epitome of a first world problem, but there’s little that causes more consternation than an app that just won’t load, or one that shuts down as soon as it opens. And if you’re finding yourself spending more time than usual trying to get your apps to work properly, it may be time to download yet another app. But this one promises to improve app performance and decrease load times by up to 10 times for iPhone users, regardless of who your carrier may be. Meet Neumob, which features app acceleration for a mobile-first world.

The free app, which comes on the heels of Neumob’s Android app release back in 2015, promises to do away with the pesky problem of slow-loading iOS applications. Neumob’s iOS app is designed to grant users instant access the “world’s fastest mobile Internet and app accelerator.” All you have to do to stymie your app frustration is launch Neumob on your phone, whereupon you’ll be routing all traffic through the app’s global network, which specializes in mobile app acceleration. This, the company promises, will take care of all performance issues, so you no longer have to wait and your apps no longer have to crash.

“Apps are the center of the mobile experience, but far too often, app performance fails,” said Neumob CEO, Jeff Kim. “Our mission is to provide people with the fastest and best performing apps, regardless of device, network or where they are in the world. We’re excited to offer consumers the opportunity to make their mobile app experiences enjoyable again, while simultaneously strengthening our enterprise solution.”

The iOS app supplements Neumob’s flagship product, the Neumob Accelerator, which helps app developers and owners improve their products’ performances simply by installing two lines of code. This grants them instantaneous access to Neumob’s six continent-strong network, boasting over 60 points of presence in cities around the globe. The Neumob app, the company says, will “further strengthen Neumob’s network by increasing the breadth and depth of data to measure and detect wireless health worldwide.”

The Nvidia app just added a feature I’ve wanted for years
A screenshot of the Nvidia app.

Nvidia just released a big update for its Nvidia app. If you're unfamiliar, Nvidia has been slowly integrating features and settings from GeForce Experience, the Nvidia Control Panel, and other apps like FrameView and ICAT into a single application, aptly named the Nvidia app, making it easier to manage your graphics card. And the latest update includes a feature that I've been wanting for years -- driver rollback.

It's a good idea to keep your GPU drivers up to date. New drivers come with performance improvements, as well as specific optimizations for new game releases. Still, driver releases aren't perfect. You can almost guarantee that some drivers on some configurations will run into strange bugs or performance issues. Here's just one example from a Steam user who saw crashes in Ghost of Tsushima after a driver update, and another who saw crashes in Farming Simulator 22. These issues are almost never widespread, but they're bound to happen to some gamers. Driver rollback gets around the problem.

As Google's Pixel line of phones has grown over the years, some fans have pointed out the increasing resemblance to the iPhone. The rounded edges, sleek design, and raised camera bump are all reminiscent of Apple's iconic device — especially with the newest Google Pixel 9.

Now, it looks like even the incoming call screen of the Google Phone app will be taking on an iPhone-like appearance. This is according to an APK breakdown by Android Authority.

I found an app that fixes macOS Sequoia’s annoying pop-ups
macOS Sequoia being introduced by Apple's Craig Federighi at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024.

Years ago, back when I used Windows Vista, I got so annoyed by the constant User Account Control (UAC) pop-ups asking for permission seemingly every time I did anything that I downloaded an app that could silence them for good. Perhaps not the most sensible thing to do from a security perspective -- OK, definitely not the most sensible thing to do -- but I was a desperate man. These days, I’m getting similar vibes from macOS Sequoia.

That’s because Apple’s latest operating system will nag you about permissions on a monthly basis for anything that records your screen. Granted, it’s not as frequent as what I’d get in Windows Vista -- and these prompts were actually weekly in the macOS Sequoia beta, which caused such a blowback from users that Apple changed the frequency -- but it still feels like it’s going to be a real pain for me and a lot of users. Sure, macOS Sequoia hasn’t actually been out long enough for me to be bugged by these alerts every month yet, but I don’t want to hang around until I start pulling my hair out. I need to take action now.
