iOS7 is clearly the most awaited software announcement WWDC 2013 would bring for both iOS developers who want to rework their apps for some new features and improvements as well as the savvy audience who loves the smell of the totally revamped UI. Though Apple hasn’t yet marked a public release date for the iOS7, we have heard the company is borrowing engineers from its Mac team to work on the iOS project. June 10^th isn’t far either and this could be a move to meet the deadlines. Back in 2007 Apple did something similar which reminds us the launch of iOS5. But this time, engineers working over OS X 10.9 were lucky enough to chase the targets.

Despite the mixed reviews each iOS release brings along we feel iOS7 may be well worth waiting for. Considering how confident sources are about the significant OS refresh and authentic interface being worked upon. Many sources have also claimed that iOS7 would be ready to ship in time but what will be ready for WWDC 2013 remains to be seen.

Some special occasions can be hard to remember no matter how many times you remind yourself or have spoilt the day by disappointing your loved ones. To overcome your forgetfulness, the developer Sergey Astakhov brings Reminder & Countdown free, an app for iPhone that can help you better remember occasions and also pre-plan for each of them.

Something we loved about Reminder & Countdown free is that it’s not just another calendar app where you add your alarms and reminders. Reminder & Countdown free is a relatively new approach to have all your special dates in one place sorted by recency of events and cool countdown timer that helps you desperately wait for the special date just like everyone’s waiting for the Christmas eve.

Fire up the app and you get a view of all your events on the homescreen ordered by most recent dates on the top. The add button is a fast and easy way to add new events to your list, name the occasion and choose a date and time. That was the fastest way to add an event to the homescreen list but if you want to personalize an event with unique icons, background colour to be used in list view, and even add a time and sound for your reminders, the app has got you covered. The app has over 200 unique icons that match alomost every occasion you can think of but if you still feel the need for more, the pro version can let you import your gallery pictures and custom icons into the app, additionally you can personalize the background image used by each event in the list view as well as in its full view which can also use a custom font face from a rich variety of over 150 choices.

Reminder & Countdown free can have practically unlimited uses be it a soccer match you have been waiting desperately for months or to set up a countdown before the clock strikes 12. The event view screen offers multiple ways to share the excitement with the world. Sms, tweets, FB shares, mail and tumbler are a few available options you can see on the event screen besides a cool option to save the beautiful wallpapers and backgrounds on your homepage  or lockscreen.

We really enjoyed the neat functionality and usefulness of Reminder & Countdown free in day to day life, though we just hate the ads as much as everyone does. The pro version is there for everyone who feels the same with the added functionality to import new images and icons from gallery which isn’t currently possible in the free version.

The security part of the app is really cool but just one side of the app, the neatly laid out interface is another. Once you enter your vault you will find options to quickly import new pictures and videos by selecting multiple items from camera roll, you can also add these already imported items to the second locker and add a unique password or export pictures to your camera roll if they were captured within the app using camera.  oneSafe Photos allows you to manage your media files in custom folders and also includes a favourite bookmarking feature that can help you mark your favourites for easier accessibility later on. You can speed up the process of finding file even more by using the search functionality and keying in file name or characters to find one specific file out of dozens of other available files.  Watching your pictures full screen or locking the screen with one tap, it’s all made easy when you want to enjoy your memories with your friends or family.
