Wunderlist revamps to-do list app for iPhone, Mac, and Android

With hopes of turning their to-do list app into a “smarter” virtual assistant, Wunderlist is introducing new changes into their apps for the iPhone, Mac, and Android. The company has cleaned up the interface and added new buttons to make it easier to add tasks and lists. The app also now supports folders, a much-requested feature.

The iPhone version of the app also gets a “Quick Add” function to automatically add due dates and reminders to tasks as they are entered. The Android version now adheres to Google’s Material Design looks. The updated apps are already up for download and Quick Add function will be making its way to other platforms soon.

YouTube now lets you upload interactive 360-degree videos

If you own a camera that can capture 360-degree videos, now you have an easier way to share your content. YouTube now lets you upload these videos to your channel. If you watch it through Chrome (through youtube.com or through embedded videos on the browser or the YouTube Android app you can even pan around to video the different angles on your mobile devices or click the scroll wheel on your desktop.

However, when you upload a file, you’ll need to run a certain script to tack on a particular metadata to make sure that it runs as a 360-degree video. It should be automatic in the future but for now you’ll have to do it. If you want to check out the 360-degree clips, you can see a sample video above.

In a study done by ASPCA, it’s said pet owners who equip their pets with microchips and detailed ID tags have a higher chance of getting them back. Gibi wants to help you out in this regard with a tracker that has chips, tags, and an added GPS tracker. The device automatically syncs with a smartphone to show your pet’s exact GPS location. You can setup virtual fences where your pet normally roams and you’ll get a text and email alert if your pet leaves said areas.

If you’re worried about Gibi getting wrecked, the device is durable and waterproof. You can even customize it with different decals to add a personal touch.

Google lets you know if you’re on a Wi-Fi-ready flight

If you can’t stand being disconnected for a few hours while in transit or just want to be ready beforehand, Google’s Flight Search will let you know if you’re getting on a flight with Wi-Fi. The search giant partnered with Routehappy, a flight-rating service to provide you with the information. It also shows you if you’re provided with in-seat power outlets, seat type, and on-demand video. This is a good way to manage your expectations before your flight.
