Flares, an app that allows users to quickly share their location in real-time, is now available to download for iPhone users in the US. While it’s described as a “mobile messaging service,” it’s not a messaging app in the traditional sense. Think of it like Yo for geolocation (or GeYolocation, as our Editor-in-Chief Martin Bryant put it). And if you’re wondering what that could be useful for, then its possibilities really are in your hands. Like Yo, it provides a simple messaging service; it’s up to you to provide the context. To use it, you just tap the button to create a message, select a…

While it seemed inevitable that it would roll-out eventually to the broader Android smartphone ecosystem, Nokia has now confirmed that this is indeed the case. In fact, Nokia tells us that it will be expanding across Android AND onto iOS before the year is out. As with its existing Windows Phone version and soon-to-launch incarnation for Samsung Galaxy, HERE will work sans internet, letting you download entire countries and regions. HERE has been available on iOS before,…

If you spend more of your life than you care to admit perusing the wonders of Twitter, you might well be the sort of person who ends up with an unmanageable, meaningless list of favorited items that’s never looked at again. Now, however, there’s FavGuard, a new beta tool that helps you keep better track of the tweets you’ve favorited, as well as providing the added benefit of keeping them all private from other Twitter users – which is particularly handy if you’re not too fond of Twitter’s recent experiment of showing favorited tweets in other people’s timelines. To get started using…
