Spotify and Waze integration now available on Android and iOS

It's a beautiful thing when two killer apps or services work well together. With navigation app Waze and eminent streaming service Spotify, the integration has been available on Android for some time. Starting today, however, iOS users can access Sportify directly from Waze and have the two apps work in lockstep without missing a beat. Here's how it works/

• Start navigating with Waze from within Spotify
• Access your Spotify playlists from within Waze and easily change tracks
• When your car is at a complete stop, easily switch between apps with one tap for an uninterrupted listening experience.

This feature makes Waze and Spotify even better since it makes them capable of interoperability while maintaining passenger safety.

Philips Air Purifier Series 2000i helps clean the air we breathe remotely

Air quality fluctuates all year round. We've got seasonal allergies from the outdoors including pollen and ragweed but we often forget about indoor allergens.

Bed sheets and pillow cases are washed often, but don't forget about duvet covers, decorative pillows and vaccuming mattresses. Got kids? Their beloved stuffies need a good airing out too. Dust also likes to settle in places like bookshelves, window and door frames and baseboards. I aim to clean those more often as well.
