The Iron Dome Password Manager is a free Android app that protects your passwords with secure 256-bit AES encryption--the same strength used by banks.

You might encounter Password Manager under the One Money name; and there's an unrelated game with the same name, too. We tried Iron Dome Password Manager in Android 4.1.1.

We installed Iron Dome and tapped the Start button. Step 1 is creating a master … Read more

The ability to take endless snapshots tends to leave the average smartphone user with two things: 1) a lot of unedited snapshots; and 2) a lot of good intentions about transferring those photos to your PC, editing them, and posting them online--someday.

This free app lets you edit, modify, frame, and share your snapshots almost as quickly as you can take them, and right from the comfort of your Android smartphone or tablet. It's also one … Read more

A good task list is a must for your iPhone.

When you open coTODO you are presented with a tutorial that walks you through basic editing of a handful of different things you can do, from adding tasks to … Read more

The iPad and iPhone are not built for viewing and editing most types of files. There are no built-in applications for opening word processing documents, ZIP files, or images for editing.

Documents By Readdle is a reading app. It allows you to open just about any type of file quickly from any application on your device. Once this app is installed, the file types it will … Read more

Drum Pad Free is one of those apps that gives you exactly what it promises without frills or gimmicks. No hidden menus.

The app is very easy to use. Open it and you are presented with nine drum pads. Tap each of them to make a noise. They are each labeled with the associated sound they … Read more

Effectos is a very familiar app, because it resembles many other photo augmenting apps on the App Store. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as this particular app provides an experience that is unique and engaging enough to warrant a download. In some ways it does, but in a handful of others it could use some additional work.

As its name implies, Effectos is an app allowing you to add different effects to photos. These effects range from sepia wash to a framed background or reverse negative. Each of the effects is shown in a rudimentary menu … Read more
