Apple bumps up iOS app size limit to 4GB

Here’s something for the developers out there. Apple is making it easier for you to create high-quality games and apps. The Apple App Store now supports app sizes of up to 4GB. The limit used to be 2GB. Apple hopes the boost will help create a “complete, rich user experience.” However, the one thing that hasn’t changed is cellular download limit is at 100MB per app.

Foursquare now lets non-members use app

Hoping to lure in more users that will eventually create accounts, Foursquare has opened up its app for people without accounts. With the app splitting into two separate apps (Foursquare and Swarm), Foursquare now works more as a personalized recommendation app. Before users had to sign up to gain access to personalized content. Now, users can bypass that and just head straight to the content they need. Of course, you can add your preferences at any time by clicking on the item or category as well as link up to your social media accounts. It’s just a good thing that you don’t have to go through the sign up process at first. The app is available on Android and Windows Phone and it is currently rolling out to devices on iOS.

Google Helpouts app gets pulled from app stores

It seemed like a good idea in theory. Learn from experts via video chat (or in Google’s case through Hangouts) about everything from guitar lessons to cooking a new dish. But alas, it didn’t pick up. That’s why Google quietly pulled its Helpouts app from the Google Play Store and Apple iTunes App Store. Even within the apps you can’t access the content. If you have been using the service, your only recourse is through the web-based Helpouts.
