In an announcement made today, Facebook has revealed that it will be launching an app on February 3rd (in the U.S) to rival news aggregator service Flipboard. The paper app is a slick, gesture driven piece which strips away the clutter of your standard news feed and looks set to completely revolutionise the way you…
Our app of the week is actually one that we’ve been using for quite a while now, but it’s made its way up onto the App Store’s Best New Apps section this week so I thought we should take the time to do a little feature on it. CamScanner is, as the name sort of…
Mobile payments are a thing which has always struggled to take off. It could be because people are set in their ways and generally don’t like change, contactless payment has had quite a slow take-up and that by all accounts is simpler and easier than traditional payment methods.

Over the whole of 2013, iPhone and iPad (presumably iPod Touch as well) owners…
Happy New Year! Hopefully you all had an excellent festive season with plenty of food, drink and fun. It’s back to the real world now though, no more getting out of bed at midday and eating leftover turkey for breakfast / lunch. If you’re anything like me you decided to go all out over the…
We published our top five favourite apps that came out this year earlier in the week, but we don’t just review apps on this blog, oh no we don’t, every week we also take a look at a bit of News that we think you would want to hear about. Here are the biggest tech…
It’s rapidly approaching the end of the year, which generally means it’s time to take a look back over what we’ve all done and what our favourite things from the last 12 months have been. It’s no different in the Tradebox Office, every week this year we’ve told you what our favourite app has been…
