BBC Sports
The official BBC Sport app is the sports fan’s guide to live sport news, stats, fixtures and results, curated by the BBC’s team of sport journalists.
Featuring, among other things
…in-depth football coverage, including: a new live scores section; a page for every match in England and Scotland; tables, fixtures and results searchable by any day of the season.
which, given the parlous state of football apps on iOS, is good news.
Tally
Tally is a quick counter app. Tally’s gesture based user interface is designed around making it simple to do tally counts on the iPhone without the need to look back at the device to locate the right button. Launch the app, and tap anywhere to increment the active counter. Make a mistake, swipe down to count in reverse.
If the button on your iPhone or iPad has gone wonky, Jason Smith offers the following tip:
Go to settings, general, accessibility, and then turn on assistive touch.
This will allow an icon to appear in the top left corner of the screen that, when pressed, expands and gives you the ability to activate the home button on the screen.
Burner
Burner is a privacy layer for your phone, providing alias phone numbers at the push of a button. You can create one or several at the same time; each one is a separate line within your iPhone that can be used for voice or SMS, and that will keep your real number private. Incoming calls on a Burner line either redirect to your main mobile number or go straight to voicemail, at your preference.
The app is $1.99, with credits1 available for in-app purchase—three credits buy you a fresh ’phone number for seven days or 20 minutes of talk time, and you can extend a number’s lifespan before it expires. The service is US- and Canada-only, though international support is ‘a top priority’.
Jotbox
Jotbox, at it’s core, is very simple; it’s an app to quickly email yourself. You can jot as text, doodle or photo and it’s perfect for getting ideas and reminders “on paper” as quickly as possible.
