This week’s must-haves include applications to view and manage your CloudApp account, keep track of your to-dos in style and translate tweets from your foreign friends. Check out Cult of Mac’s favorites from the past week after the break!
Cloud2go – ($1.99) iPhone – Productivity
If you’ve been waiting for an app that allows you to access and manage your CloudApp account on the go, then thank phapswebsolutions for bringing you Cloud2go for the iPhone. It’s an excellently well-designed application that’s simple to set up, easy to use and incredibly useful. Access your CloudApp account and view your documents, check out your photos, watch your videos and listen to your music. Save images and videos to your photo library, share files via email and add files to Cloud2go from other applications that support document integration. You can also upload directly from your device, and the multitasking support means you can sync files, images and documents to your account in the background while you continue to do other things. $1.99 is an introductory price so grab it before the price goes up!
Twitran – ($1.99) iPhone – Social Networking
Twitran is a social networking client for Twitter that has Google language translator built-in; allowing you to convert tweets or webpages from foreign languages in to your own, and convert your own tweets before sending them to foreign friends. It’s simple and user-friendly, and you can use it with as many Twitter accounts as you like. It has all of the functions you’d expect from any decent Twitter client, like; built-in image, video and webpage browsers, the ability to send tweets by email, retweet functions, and foursquare, Read It Later & Instapaper support. One of my favorite features is the built-in text-to-speech engine that allows you to actually listen to tweets, however this currently only supports the English language. If you often search for things on Twitter, or click on trending topics, but find that you can’t understand half the tweets because they’re not in your language, Twitran is the solution.
Netflix – (free) Universal – Entertainment
Sure, the Netflix application has been around a while, however, just this week it was updated to become universal; introducing support for the iPhone/iPod Touch as well as the iPad. If you’ve been dying to get your hands on this app for a while but you don’t own an iPad, now you can! It doesn’t need much of a description – it’s the same great Netflix app that’s been around for a while, but now you can stream your favorite TV shows and movies to your other iOS devices. If you’re not already a Netflix member, start the free 1-month trial and check out this awesome app!
Manage – ($2.99) iPad – Productivity
Manage describes itself as “a beautifully crafted, pleasantly easy to use to-do task manager for the iPad.” A description which I’d say was pretty accurate. Keep track of your tasks and to-dos in style with this gorgeous, full-featured to-do app with a difference. A selection of colored pens and highlighters let you annotate your lists or flag urgent tasks, and scribble down notes for additional information before you forget. Arrange your lists in any order you like and export them to email or save as text files or PDFs. Set due dates for your tasks using the built-in calendar and keep up to date at a glance with badge notifications.
