BitTorrent introduces streaming service app BitTorrent Now

You most likely know of BitTorrent for the illegal content that gets shared on its peer-to-peer platform. But this new app is completely legal and works similar to how other content streaming services work. BitTorrent Now first debuted on Android but is now available for iOS and Apple TV. They’ve enlisted the help of various publishers, such as The Onion, Super Deluxe, and IHeartComix, to share content that’s either free, paid, or ad-supported. The content creators are the one who have control over their content. Users will need to either sign-in or pay to access content. If you feel like checking this out, the app is now up for download on the App Store.

Google Photos for iOS adds a cropping tool and better burst photo support

Following the update for Google Photos on Android, the app’s latest version on iOS brings with it a new cropping tool. So, it’s now easier to edit photos while on mobile. Aside from that, version 1.12.1 also claims to have “improved support” for taking burst photos. Google Photos should also start up faster now and make use of less cellular data. Plus, a feature iOS users will appreciate: less of a drain on the phone’s battery. The app is now available for download on the Apple App Store for free.
