If the idea of yet another social network is too much to bear, we understand. With Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Linkedin it can be a bit overwhelming, but you just might do well to give Stamped a try.

Part app, equal parts social network, Stamped allows you to — you guessed it, put your stamp of approval on pretty much anything, movies, books, bars, clubs, restaurants, the list goes on. You can share your stamps with friends, who in turn can share what they have stamped with you, creating a list of reliable recommendations for you and your friends to take advantage of. You don’t need to write a long explanation, no stars, or 3 spoons. The idea here is that you’re sharing with your friends what you thought was awesome. Simply stamp something you love and you’re done. Love the nachos at your local bar, or think you have found a gem of a pizza place, why not stamp it and let all your friends know? Plus you know you can trust your friends’ opinions right? Well most of them…

Stamped is available as a free download in the App Store.

How to fast charge your iPhone
iPhone 12 Mini with charger

While they may not be some of the longest-lasting smartphones on the market, modern iPhones boast more than respectable battery life that should be able to get you through an entire day's use without breaking too much of a sweat. Of course, that assumes a lot of things — including a battery that's still relatively new and in good health, plus a usage pattern that doesn't include all-day streaming or gaming.

But for some people, overnight charging isn't going to cut it, and you'll want to get your battery topped up again as quickly as you can so you can get back in action. Thankfully, every iPhone released in the past six years supports much faster charging, but the downside is that with very few exceptions, Apple has never supplied you with the right adapter to get the best possible charging speeds from your iPhone.

If you aren’t already using the Apple Sports app, you need to
The Apple Sports app running on an iPhone 16.

Friends, we are well into the best time of the year: football season. The Lions are off to an incredible start, the Vikings look dangerously good, and I'm continually amazed by how bad the Browns are.

The 2024 season has been a lot of fun. Not only have the games been entertaining, but I've also had a much better time following the latest plays and scores on my phone. After begrudgingly using the ESPN app last year and the year before, I decided to go all-in on Apple Sports this year — and I couldn't be happier. If you have an iPhone and aren't already using Apple Sports, this is your reminder that you absolutely need to.
