The top 3 iOS apps you don’t want to miss out on

By Joshua Smith August 15, 2015

With over a million apps in the iOS app store, it’s pretty difficult to find the best of the best. Often, the most excellent apps don’t get the recognition they deserve, leaving many people in the dark about them. While apps are mostly shared by word of mouth, it’s surprising how long it can take for the names and reputations of the little-known gems to travel.

In this episode of “Top 3” resident app connoisseur Joshua Smith shares what he believes to be the three iOS apps that you won’t want to miss out on. See what apps will allow you to view weekly ad flyers, purchase exclusive modern goods and leave annoying twitter applications behind in this quick video. Soon you will begin to wonder how you ever went by without these handy apps.

YouTube TV just got even better on iPhones and iPads

If you use the most popular live-streaming service on an iPhone or iPad, things just got even better. YouTube TV — which boasts more than 8 million subscribers — just pushed multiview live on Apple's mobile devices, as previously promised.

It works basically the same way it does on a television. YouTube TV picks the programs available in multiview, and you get them all at once, with audio coming from one of the shows. Tap another, and the audio switches. And just as before, you can get multiview for sports, news, business, or weather. (Though we definitely don't recommend watching four news channels at once in an election year.) It's just in time for March Madness, which is great, though we hope you'll be able to pick your own games instead of just sticking with the multiple viewing options YouTube TV gives. This will be great come fall, though, when the new season of NFL Sunday Ticket takes hold.

If you've spent any time on Facebook, TikTok, or any other social media site over the last couple of days, there's a chance you've seen people claiming that your iPhone is spying on you — specifically, with a feature called "Journaling Suggestions."

One post I stumbled across on Facebook made it sound rather frightening, warning me that the feature shares my FULL NAME and EXACTLY where I'm located to anyone nearby. The post told me to go and toggle the setting off immediately because it was "Very scary stuff!!"
