What’s Good: Clean interface and good writing. You can save articles to read later, but you will need an account in order to do so (you can sign up via your Twitter or Facebook account, however). The writing is steady and classically styled, and the app itself is well designed. The articles seem to go out of their way to remove any of the usual trappings of modern online news-think of this as the comedown room for people who’ve had entirely too much BuzzFeed in their lives. Timeline News is app that ensures every headline has its proper history attached to it–even if that history nearly two hundred years of the US Secret Service. News stories often lack anything that resembles context-news instead gets framed as two opposing viewpoints often talking past each other. What Sucks: You need a subscription to read more than one article per day.īuy it? If you’re an existing Economist subscriber, or are just looking for a good news app, check out Espresso. What’s Good: Bite-sized installments of The Economist’s coverage. The app has a simple look, but everything loads really quickly. I really like to use this app to get a quick rundown of world news headlines, and I skip some of the more detailed articles. If you are not a digital subscriber to The Economist, however, you can only read a single article per day. If you’re looking for a lighter approach, though the magazine has created a daily app it calls Espresso.Įspresso gives you a daily selection of seven articles, one of which is a news brief with a run-down of the day’s headlines. I’m not sure if that’s true, but if it is, it’s because the magazine has some seriously dense articles. William Gibson once called The Economist the magazine that’s only read on airplanes. What Sucks: Unclear pricing and setup for premium features.īuy it? If you’re looking for a way to troubleshoot your home network without going to grab your laptop, use Fing. What’s Good: Excellent way to monitor devices on your network. The membership fee payment system doesn’t go through Apple, so I think Fing’s makers need to be careful about how they ask you for cash and when.)

I signed up for a trial membership through the app, but I wasn’t able to find out how much it costs. If you sign up for the Fingbox service, you can track logs on your devices, sync your devices, and monitor your networks remotely. You can even send Wake On LAN messages, which may help you deal with a stubborn media server that refuses to respond. You can ping each device and see what network services it offers, as well as view which port its services are offered on. If you’re planning ahead you can name each device, especially if it isn’t clearly named already (this is usually an issue for cable boxes and other non-standard networkable equipment). It lets you view which devices are on your Wi-Fi network, and see various details about those devices, making it useful for troubleshooting network issues. It isn’t often that you want to look at which devices are on your network until something isn’t working, which is why I think that the name of this app is “effing.” Fing is a network utility for your iPhone, and it’s an app that you may want to check out, even if you aren’t a network admin.
