48 Shares Apple did every iPhone user a great service by adding in its Reminders app to iOS 5. With full Siri integration, it allowed them to create a quick list of tasks or simple reminders so that they’d know what they needed to do throughout their day. But it’s missing a key ingredient: location awareness. Enter Checkmark by Snowman, which solves that problem. Checkmark allows users to name locations (such as Home, Office, Grocery Store, etc.) and they can then add reminders based on those locations. Users can tell Checkmark to notify them... More »

That’s why when Launch Center by App Cubby arrived, I jumped on board straight away. I’ve... More »
