As we all know, the native Google Maps application was recently released following its departure in the iOS 6 update. Today, iDownloadBlog is reporting that the app includes a hidden feature — topography.
Early feedback shows the app may be superior to the Android version, even though both versions of the app offer the same basic set of features. While the Android version offers more features such as Wikipedia integration and other Google services, the iOS version offers a more clean and intuitive experience.
Both may be useful apps, but the more recent iOS version seems to have one feature that has yet to be publicly announced. (more…)
If you have ever installed an application that was later yanked from the App Store, you can now reinstall them thanks to a new iCloud feature in iOS 5 that lets you re-grab your iTunes purchases if you don’t have them downloaded on the device you are using. This might just be an error on Apple’s part, which could be fixed soon, but in the meantime you’ll be able to grab yourself a new copy of banned apps such as VLC Player or iDOS. This is a great opportunity for people who upgraded to a new firmware or restored their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to re-download the apps that they have most definitely missed.
