VLC has updated its media player app to the iOS market to conform to the iOS 7 look and add new multi-touch gesture support. The new user interface works in line with the changes Apple made to its UI and included gestures such as horizontal swipe for playback position, vertical swipe to the left to adjust brightness, vertical swipe to the right to adjust volume, and two finger tap to play or pause the video.
You can now also stream and download videos from Dropbox or download videos from Google Drive. You can also delete multiple items and rename any media in the library view. You can download VLC over here.

CtrlTwit is a new Web service designed to help Twitter power users make the most out of the social network. The app can link your Twitter account to various other services so you can do things like adding a link to Pocket, checking Dropbox space, or subscribe to a YouTube channel.
You don’t have to sign up to the service to have Twitter perform any of the commands. An example given by Lifehacker includes adding a link to Pocket. What you just need to do is reply to the tweet with an interesting link with the command “@pocket save #ctrltwit” and you will initially be asked by Pocket to sign in. The app also currently supports Instagram, Foursquare, and Meetup.
