Other lets you send canned messages to one person

If you regularly message someone with updates like you’re heading home or stuck in traffic, the Other app for iOS will make it easier for you. It’s a bit like a launcher for messaging but you just do it for another person (perhaps your spouse). It allows you to create canned messages that you can send through the iPhones Messages app. If you use one of the newer iPhones, you can even have a 3D Touch shortcut for this on your home screen. Other also comes with a share extension, letting you send URLs to this person with just a few taps.

Twitter shuts down Magic Recs account

The Magic Recs account on Twitter is seen as a useful tool for finding out what’s the hottest accounts at the moment on Twitter—in case you’d want to follow them. But Twitter has shut down the account saying this feature is integrated into push notifications so there isn’t a need for the account to send direct message recommendations to its users. If you want to get those recommendations, you’ll only be able to on mobile. Head to settings, notifications, and switch on the Recommendations option. Although it seems that’s activated by default.

‘Super Mario Bros.’ game inspires track your step-counting app on Pebble

Want to know how many steps you take in a day? The Steps With Mario app gives you a fun way to count your steps. It takes you right into the world of our favorite plumber duo, Mario and Luigi, from the game Super Mario Bros. It shows you how close you can get to saving the princess, which is said to be 3.4 miles. Stay moving and we’re sure you can reach that in no time. We’re not getting the port of the game yet on mobile so this is as close as we can get for now.
