myBeats offers a more stylish way to play your iTunes library, but it's not better than other, universal media players. It's vulnerable to crashes and doesn't let you import your library your way. It does offer great sound, though. That may be enough if you want something that "just works."

This program looks just like the old Zune layout from Microsoft's MP3 player. It auto-populates your whole iTunes library, but it's not as fast as you might expect. The program creates frequent crashes and slowdowns, too. It crashed several times during testing, including … Read more

My Document is designed to open and read any type of document, but the interface is needlessly jumbled, and with crashes at multiple points, the app needs some additional work. When working properly, My Document does what it advertises, opening files in nearly any format from your device, downloaded from the Internet, or on a playlist you have created. But most of the time it does not work properly and some of the features are either unnecessary or oddly placed.

The home screen for My Document is a blank menu where playlists will eventually go. It's not immediately clear … Read more

My Photo Sticker lets you apply some Kawaii to all of your photos and turn them into fun stickers. It's easy to get started right away in the app, but you can't do much right out of the gates. The cost to unlock most of the app's goodies isn't too high, though.

Though the app boasts dozens of stickers, most of them are locked behind a paywall. It only costs a dollar to unlock everything, which is a good price. If you don't mind your choices being limited, you can still use everything else the … Read more

The Micromega MyZic is the first headphone amp I've tested that's made in France. The amp shares its chassis and design with the Micromega My Series of components: a phono preamp, wireless streamer, and an integrated amplifier that will come out later this year. The MyZic's street price runs $269.

MyZic sounds like a bona-fide high-end component, but some buyers may quibble with the ABS plastic construction. It seems rugged enough, and it's certainly lightweight. Connectivity is limited to just the basics: a high quality Neutrik 6.3mm headphone jack on the front panel, and stereo … Read more

MyWeatherPic takes the everyday urge to talk about the weather and helps you share the exact conditions wherever you are with custom images. Using many familiar photo editing and sharing features combined with weather-tracking integration, the app is a unique and fun tool.

MyWeatherPic, at its core, is a camera. You open the app and the camera will activate in the upper half of the screen. Over the top of the camera's viewfinder is an overlay of the current weather and your location. Weather is in degrees Celsius to start but you can change to Fahrenheit or you can … Read more
