Foodora app and service disrupts food delivery

Foodora is one of the most disruptive and innovative services to come to Canada since Uber. Similar to what Uber has done for personal transportation, Foodora has breached a wide gap between people wanting to order food and restaurants who don't offer take out or delivery services. Formerly branded as Hurrier, Foodora's app, website and service quickly gives Canadians in Toronto and Montreal (as well as in 30 countries) access to thousands of restaurant menus, the ability to order food and have it quickly delivered by bike courier within minutes. The selection of restaurants and available cuisines is extensive.

The app is simple to use and super transparent, users can quickly order, get a summary of their expenses plus select an amount to tip the delivery person. The app is available on Android and iOS.

iOS 9.3 beta 4 is now available with Touch ID Notes and Night Shift feature

Apple has made iOS 9.3 beta 4 available for developers. The latest versions can be used to test iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices ahead of next month's official release. iOS 9.3 beta 4 brings new features like Nigh Shift, which changes the hue of the iOS devices at night to reduce blue hues (in effect reducing stress to eyes and relaxing the brain). 

The Notes app also gets the ability to hide specific notes behind password or be accessed via Touch ID with compatible devices. There are also 3D Touch updates for Quick Action shortcuts as well as Settings like battery, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options.
