Apps are essential to getting the most out of our smartphones, but the subscriptions that some of those apps rope us into are far from necessary once they fall out of regular rotation.
Even the best of us probably have an app sub or two we’ve forgotten about after signing up once and never using the program again, which can be super annoying when seemingly phantom charges show up when it comes time to pay the bill.

And despite Apple’s continued reminders to developers over the last few weeks, many developers still have not made the necessary changes yet.
It’s hard to say exactly how many apps have been updated to be iPhone X compatible over the last few weeks, though more and more updates are appearing in the App Store each day. According to analytics from marketing firm Sensor Tower, about 2,700 app updates since the day after the iPhone X launch refer to “iPhone X” in their release notes — suggesting that the number is in the low thousands.

While an app that dispenses Viagra sounds like something out of an episode of Silicon Valley, in a refreshing turn of events, Roman is not being pitched as a cynical ploy to disrupt your dick. Instead, it’s a personal mission of the company’s CEO, Zachariah Reitano, an earnest software developer who has struggled with erectile dysfunction since he was a teenager. Read more…
