Andrew Kunesh, Macgasm


> This game features all new graphics and an original music score by Austin Wintory. However, the game has kept its original plot: will Larry Laffer find true love? The game takes place in Lost Wages and, of course, features tons of risqué jokes. So if you loved the game in the 80s and 90s, you’re sure to love it now as Leisure Suit Larry has been produced by Al Lowe, the original creator of the series, and Replay Games.

Steven Sande, TUAW


> The app was designed from the ground up for the iPad, featuring a tiled UI with stories that can be tapped to dive in deeper. While the app opens with a window onto general featured news, users can select their area of interest to focus only on stories in that area: entertainment, food, health, money, sports, style, tech, travel and world.

*** Apple Fail: The Ridiculous Guideline That’s Preventing iCloud From Doing What It Was Born To Do ***

Autriv


> Apple’s reasoning was that they will not allow iOS applications to use iCloud to sync “non-user-generated” data between devices. After some lengthy followup, we learned that while using a “drawing application” to create a new piece of art and then saving that file would be considered “user-generated”, using our app to add a signature and content to a PDF and saving it as a new file is not “user-generated”.

Edward Mendelson, PC Magazine


> If you're serious about Web design, nothing else comes close, and in the Web design field, it's our obvious and—now that Microsoft has effectively abandoned Expression Web—our only Editors' Choice.

Mikel Reparaz, Mac Life

Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla, Canadian Reviewer


> This is a mature product, one that's been refined for close to eight years of constant improvement and design. The latest iMa simply brings together the best of performance and design in one convenient, striking and powerful package.

Stuart Gripman, Macworld


> Most of us amass disparate pieces of information we need to keep around, be they receipts for online purchases, scans of important documents, or just notes we’ve typed. Together 3 aims to keep all those bits of information in one easy to organize place. Building upon the already excellent Together 2, the new revision adds some compelling capabilities.

<http://www.marco.org/2013/06/27/ios7-as-defense>
Marco Arment


> The theme is clear: iOS 7’s UI requires some of Apple’s biggest strengths, and efforts to copy it will be hindered by some of Android’s biggest weaknesses.
