Woohoo, finally the day has come. The BBC have finally made an iPlayer app, well a wrapper for the website anyway. Don’t expect some lovely Metro gubbins here. It is probably the number one app that people moan about when telling the world why they can’t use Windows …
Notes apps, have a look in the play store and there are literally hundreds. Some are good, some are poor and some stand out from the crowd. Evernote is probably the biggest but requires a centrally registered account and, lets face it, isn’t exactly what could be …
