50 Billionth Download Reached!

May 17, 2013  |  Store News

On Wednesday, May 15, 2013, a huge Apple milestone was reached. The 50 billionth app was downloaded from the Apple App Store.

Over the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed the countdown tracker on the Apple homepage showing the tally of how many apps were being downloaded from the Apple App store. The person to download the 50 billionth app received a $10,000 App Store gift card.

The App Store has quickly gained in popularity since its launch in 2008. It has surpassed the Google Play store, which has received around 48 billion downloads. In just a short span of 14 months, App Store downloads doubled from 25 billion to 50 billion. It is now projected to be on track to receive more than 20 billion downloads per year.

To say the least, we sure love our apps!

Amaze Mom this Mother’s Day

May 1, 2013  |  Store News, Tips & Tricks

Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate your Mom and everything she has done for you. As a big ‘thank you’, why not get her a gift that will make her everyday tasks easier, keep her more organized, and provide a wide array of entertainment?

An iPad is just the gift to accomplish these things. The iPad comes in two sizes, both equally functional. Whether Mom is ready to indulge in a good book, present a Keynote to the board of directors, create a shopping list, or catch a flick on Hulu, the iPad can assist. Now through Mother’s Day, receive $10 off AppleCare+ or any iPad case with the purchase of an iPad!*

With over 300,000 iPad apps, Mom will be able to create the ideal device for her everyday needs. Here are a few of our favorite apps for Mom:

Paprika. We just cannot get over how awesome this app is for the at-home chef! If you find a recipe online that you want to try, just copy the URL and open the Paprika app. It will instantly load the recipe into your catalog! Need to double the recipe? Want to go shopping for the ingredients, but already have some? This app can help with all of that, too! $4.99

iPhoto. Sync your Apple products with iCloud and have all of your photographs available on every device including your iPad. iPhoto on the iPad allows you to sort the photos into groups called “Events” which can easily be shared with family and friends. You can even use multi-touch editing tools to remove red eye, crop, or add an effect. $4.99

Pinterest. Pinterest is THE social media platform for mothers of all ages! The platform allows users to “pin” ideas (pictures) to one of their category boards. Many moms like to use the app to create wish lists, plan trips, organize events, collect recipes, and inspire craft ideas! Followers and those searching relevant keywords can see your pins and re-pin ideas they find helpful. Free

Mint.com Personal Finance. Mint.com’s app is a great way to keep your finances in check and stay on top of upcoming bills. Just give the app access to all of your accounts, and it will allow you to track, manage, and budget your money all in once place. It will even categorize transactions for you so you can see where your money is going. Free

iBooks. Does your Mom like to read? Most moms do, either for themselves or with their kids. iBooks allows you to download books from the iBookstore which houses over 1.5 million titles including many beautifully illustrated children’s books, top sellers, and cookbooks. They will even sync across all of your devices with iCloud. Free
