News from the world of applications
Fantastical for iOS 7 is in the works, including an iPad version (18/9)
Flexbits announced their plans for the Fantastical app on their blog. A completely new version of the iPhone application adapted to the look of iOS 7 is in preparation. In addition to the new look, we can look forward to the integration of Reminders, landscape mode, support for TextExpander and others. Fantastical 2 will be released as a brand new app, not an update, and will be available in October. Additionally, Flexbits mentioned an iPad version. It was in preparation even before the announcement of iOS 7, but due to the huge changes in the new system, the development was postponed and we should see the tablet version later as a separate application.

BlackBerry Messenger for iOS and Android will be delayed
This week saw the release of the much-anticipated BlackBerry Messenger app, which was supposed to bring the previously popular secure IM service to the two biggest mobile operating systems. However, the Android version leaked prematurely (recording 1,1 million downloads), so BlackBerry stopped the release of the app for both Android and iOS, which had already appeared in the App Store in New Zealand or Australia. Users who have already downloaded the iOS version can use the app, but the leaked Android version has been disabled. According to its blog, BlackBerry is currently working on fixes caused by the leak of the Android version, and the app should hopefully return to digital stores within a few days.

The developers are also finishing work on the Mac 1.5 update, which will bring a redesign of the entire application in favor of minimalism, the possibility of custom organization of the list panel, an extension of the Drag&Drop function, a project preview mode, and other goodies that will move the application even further into a full-fledged GTD tool. 2Do for Mac will also be available in Czech, our editors participated in the localization.
New applications
Grand Theft Auto: iFruit
For its new game Grand Theft Auto 5 (which made a billion dollars in 6 days of sales), Rockstar has released a companion application for iOS, in which players can customize the equipment and appearance of their cars in the game directly on the screen of the iPhone or iPad. The application also contains a minigame in which you take care of the dog Chop. In it you can teach him new tricks, play with him and feed him. Chop appears directly in the game as a pet for your character, and can help you find hidden objects, by training him you will get benefits directly in GTA 5. The name of the iFruit application is derived, among other things, from GTA 4, where it was possible to visit an Apple parody site on the Internet, only instead of an apple, you could meet an iOvoc.

clear 2
Realmac software has released a new version of the Clear to-do app, which is even more tailored to the iOS look and finally comes with an iPad app as well. Unlike the iPhone, Clear on the iPad has a sidebar with to-do lists, making navigation much easier. The iPad also has some unique gestures, such as swiping down with two fingers to see the contents of a list. Clear for iPhone itself hasn't changed much, but the most notable change is the name of the list in the task preview. Clear 2 is a universal app and costs €2,99.

Important update
Quickoffice free and with a bonus
Some time ago, Google bought the company Quickoffice, they are developing an application of the same name for editing Office documents on iOS and Android. He later made it free to Google Apps for Business users, now it's free for everyone. Anyone who installs it and signs in to their Google account before September 26 will also get 10 GB of Google Drive for two extra years. The app used to be able to connect to various web repositories, but Google kept only Google Drive in Quickoffice and integrated it so that changes are saved directly to the cloud.
Google Translate
The translation app Google Translate has finally received support for the iPhone 5, as well as a card-style redesign just like other Google apps. Several new languages have been added, as well as support for inputting written text for 49 languages, including Czech. You can find Google Translate for free in the App Store.
