Yesterday, The Loop reported that Apple Maps is being updated “often and significantly,” and included a list of cities that now have flyover support and 3-D building views. Unfortunately, Apple still doesn’t seem to be working on accuracy.

Outland Games LogoEndless runner games are a dime a dozen in the App Store, and some of them are even “free-a-dozen.” So, it is not easy to find a refreshing and interesting way to make a game that people will enjoy.
