I was quite impressed with the original iOS apps for Word and Excel, though the fact they didn't link in to anything but SkyDrive/OneDrive meant they were of little use to me. Now, the latest updates feature Dropbox integration, so I've installed both on my iPhone [...]

I remember hearing about the Word Lens app when it originally came out a while back, but never got around to using it, as it was a paid-for app. It uses augmented-reality to translate things like signs into a different language, yet still managing to keep [...]

It's always good to start off a new year busy and 2014 is definitely starting that way. I've now kicked off another iOS App testing project, though can't say too much due to an NDA being signed. Suffice to say, it's an iPad app, on iOS [...]
