9 awesome iPhone apps
Zach Epstein, over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch)(/Apple Watch) apps that are temporarily free.
Here’s the fine print:
These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now – obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get”, it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.
Here’s the link to today’s apps:

iPad Input
I love my iPad. After having had it for a couple of years, to say nothing of having had iPod Touches for more than five years, and using them all rather heavily, I still can’t type on them worth a tinker’s dam. :::sigh:::
And then came Stephen Hackett’s external keyboard article on The Sweet Setup last week; salvation! The setup:
Not all iPad keyboards are created equal. In our estimation, there are several factors to consider, including typing experience, price, design and extra features. Each keyboard we spent time with were paired with an iPad Air 2, and each keyboard’s section of the review was typed with the item in question, in addition to a collection of standardized documents that were recreated with each device using Apple’s Pages application.
The contestants, in alphabetical order:
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard + Stand
Belkin Qode Ultimate Pro
Kensington Keyfolio Thin X3
Logitech Keys-to-Go
Logitech Ultrathin
Microsoft Universal Mobile Keyboard
The winner? PYBT: Our favorite keyboard for iPad

Who are you and what do you do?
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
I am Saravanan, an IT Recruiter based out of Bangalore, India. I work at an IT staffing firm focused on lateral hiring for product-based IT companies. I write my own personal blog and you can find me literally everywhere on the web as @simplysaru. I am an amateur cyclist on the weekends and I race for a local cycling team in Bangalore.
You can catch Saravanan’s complete story here: Saravanan Sivaraman’s Mac and iPhone setup.
“Back issues” can be found here: Sweet Setup Interviews.

It Once Was Lost
You have Find My (fill in the blank with your device(s)/computer) installed and activated, right? You don’t? Shame! You do? You’re well on the way to a happy ending. I’ll give you a hint:
Ben Wilson can be forgiven for thinking his iPhone was gone for good after it fell 9,300 feet from a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft.
Ouch!!! Fear not, however; Michael Casey, at CBS News, has the rest of the story: Man finds iPhone that fell from plane in Texas.
Ware the donkey…

Cell phones have aided many lost hikers to call for help, but this time an additional use for cell phones was discovered.
Sound intriguing? I thought so, too, and pointed my browser to Debbie L Sklar’s post on mynewsla.com. I was not expecting this:
Cell phones help rescue hikers, but not the way you think
Pretty cool, eh? Had you figured it out before you read the article?
