You actually have a few different options for quick reply for messages, but we like Auki because it's pretty powerful, supports different options, and has a silent mode. Likewise, the app supports all kinds of different settings like a custom Activator toggle, video and image support, contact pictures, and more.

When it comes to email, you have a billion options on the iPhone, but things are slightly more limited on the iPad. Which option is best for you really depends on what you need. For a brand new approach to dealing with email, we like Mailbox, and the iPad version is really well done. If a more traditional approach to…

The email game has changed a lot over the last year, and we've seen a ton of new email clients released recently. Still, even though it's no longer supported, Sparrow is our favorite email client for the iPhone if you're using anything that isn't Gmail. Nobody else has quite figured out how to do email as well as…

I appreciate the feature on here that allows me to ignore or dismiss a comment. I can continue on in the comments without always having to see the comment.

Why is the main picture for fitness a belly shot - does this reinforce the idea that fitness is about looks or your measurements?

Application to avoid: Camera Indictment: Apple's default camera is pretty boring. You can't really tweak your photos, and you don't get standard options like a timer or burst mode. As a straightforward point-and-shoot camera it works fine, but if you want more precision you need to dig deeper. Superior Alternative(s):…

Costs $10 and has horrible ratings.

I use labels a lot. Do you suggest a mail app that works with labels and push? I primarily would use it for my gmail but if it could accommodate outlook that would be nice.
