Productivity apps are ten-a-penny (or a dime-a-dozen, if you prefer), but ones that can help you prioritize your life tasks and keep you running on schedule are less commonplace. To that end, 24me, a personal assistant app for iOS devices, has added a new feature today which promises to help users get to appointments on time and remember special occasions. The new ‘Smart Alerts’ feature, essentially, will take into account things like weather, traffic and your agenda to tell you exactly when you should be leaving to make it to your meeting – a little like Google Now, but plugged more deeply into…

Fresh from the news that Fleksy is in the midst of taking its smart keyboard app system-wide on iOS 8, the San Francisco-based startup has launched a brand new keyboard app for text-messaging on the new Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch, four months after it first revealed plans to do so.
