Donde Fashion lets you tap your way to your next fabulous outfit

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

Shopping for clothes is a damn near impossible task. There’s a reason why many women make it a whole-day affair. Getting caught up in the idea of a specific thing that you want, down to the cut and style, gives you a narrow lens to view from but also limited options. Shopping online doesn’t prove to be much better: text search can only get you so far, and filtering can take time if you’re searching across many brands. Donde Fashion, a mobile app for iOS released today, cuts through all that nonsense by turning the search for women’s fashion into…

Bing for Android just beat Google Now on Tap to the punch

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,
Bing knowledge graph
Microsoft just beat Google at its own game: the company has updated Bing Search on Android with a new feature that analyzes what’s on your screen to bring you useful, relevant information without the need to switch apps. Google’s promised to offer similar functionality in its upcoming Android Marshmallow release, with a feature called Now on Tap. But Microsoft has beaten it to the punch and doesn’t require developers to integrate any code into their apps for it to work. The new Bing feature works with any app: just long-press the home button and it will read the contents of your…

Patterning is an unbeatably fun, powerful way to make beats on your iPad

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

I love drum machines. There’s something soothing about spending an hour or two building up an intricate beat, using a really hands-on interface with lots of buttons and knobs. My favorite drum machine of all is the Elektron Analog Rytm, a deep and powerful machine that you can spend many hours learning to master. For sheer flexibility and fun, Patterning, a new app out today for the iPad, comes a close second. The iPad has become a plaything for musical instrument developers, so there are plenty of professional-grade apps available as well as offerings for the casual user. Patterning manages…

Chrome is finally getting faster on Mac

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

You know all those promises we’ve heard about Chrome performance on Mac getting better soon, that never seems to eventuate? It might be finally on the horizon if Chrome 46, which is a bleeding-edge test build, is any indication. I’ve been using the test build for the last week since spotting a tweet that indicated it might finally be getting faster. Having written about how bad Chrome has become in the past, I was naturally enthusiastic to try anything that might improve performance. I didn’t believe it would be possible at first, but after spending the better part of a week on Chrome 46…

Geekin Radio ties streaming music to social like you’ve never seen (or heard) before

Streaming music is getting an upgrade. Geekin Radio, a new platform that loops into your favorite services, ties together social playlist curation with real-time context. Here’s how it works: you create a playlist of tracks from SoundCloud (other integrations are coming, we’re told) in Geekin. Once you begin streaming, those who follow you can listen in on your playlist — in real-time. If you decide you’re bored of your music and want to hear what someone else has going on, just start listening to their broadcast instead. Those who are tapped into your playlist will also be exposed to whatever you’re…

GIFs just got a whole lot smarter

Comedy Central Broad City GIF

Just visit the site, paste a YouTube URL or upload your own existing GIF, trim it to the desired length (up to 15 seconds), and add a credit to link back to your profile or site.

Dropbox wants to store your bookmarks, but it’s not the right tool for the job

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,
Dropbox bookmarks hed
Dropbox has updated its Web and mobile apps to let you add links to your cloud storage. It’s about as strange as it sounds, and it could have been a cool feature, had it been executed better. On desktop, you can now drag and drop links from any website right into your Dropbox to save it as a .url item. On mobile, you can share links or active Web pages from browsers to Dropbox. The trouble is, your .url item has no description, no recognizable icon and no thumbnail preview. This is what I got when I saved a link…

Update to VSCO Cam photo app for iOS adds support for non-English languages

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

The language of images may be universal, but photo app maker Visual Supply Co. (VSCO) is acknowledging that non-English speaking users of its mobile photo filtering apps might need a bit more help with newer versions. An update released today to VSCO for iOS now supports 9 languages in addition to English. Similar multilingual support is on the way to the Android platform shortly. With the new language support, VSCO says it seeks to better serve the 80 percent of users who reside outside of the US, and is taking a phased approach to which languages are added to which platforms. The first phase…
