About
The Tech Block was conceived as a solution to two problems:
1. For every talented writer, photographer, videographer, and designer who's made a name for himself, dozens more have escaped notice or are underappreciated.
2. Tech sites exist to report on carefully designed devices, but few are equally thorough, especially when it comes to layout.
Our silver bullet? A site that features only the best tech-related content in gorgeous, digestible fashion. And here’s the kicker: We encourage little-known content creators to publish with us and boost their profiles.
The Tech Block carries select tech-related content that's produced in-house or hand-picked from user submissions that meet our criteria.

Description:
The Tech Block is the only app you need if you're looking for the best tech reads.
We scour the web for two reasons: First, we want to provide you with the best tech-related content so you no longer have to wonder if you've missed that great article or news story. And second, we want to help content creators get the recognition they deserve. All of the Featured articles, News and Videos are hand-picked to insure that you’re only getting the best. Using human curation and a non-bias approach, we strive to promote the best tech content without the noise.
If you have a suggestion for an article or news story, let us know! It does not need to come from a big publication. We LOVE indie writers.

I love this app but...
...it doesn't have any new stories for at least three weeks. Why? Is it a bug or is it not supported anymore?

really awesome articles, but crashes on opening with iOS 9.
Please fix. The articles are really an enjoyment to read.

Broken - crashes on startup
Completely broken. I've never once managed to open it, as it force closes as soon as I try. No stars. (iphone 5s, iOS 9.1)

Bolts
Bolts is a collection of low-level libraries designed to make developing mobile apps easier.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
MessageUI
The Message UI framework provides specialized view controllers for presenting standard composition interfaces for email and SMS (Short Messaging Service) text messages. Use these interfaces to add message delivery capabilities without requiring the user to leave your app.
Parse
iOS framework for developing apps using the Parse BaaS.
StoreKit
StoreKit enables users to embed a store in their app. It also process financial transactions associated with the purchase of content and services.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
AFNetworking
AFNetworking is a networking library for iOS and Mac OS X. It's built on top of the Foundation URL Loading System, extending the powerful high-level networking abstractions built into Cocoa. It has a modular architecture with well-designed, feature-rich APIs that are a joy to use.
AsyncImageView
AsyncImageView is an extension of UIImageView for loading and displaying images asynchronously on iOS so that they do not lock up the UI.
DACircularProgress
DACircularProgress is a UIView subclass with circular UIProgressView properties.
DCIntrospect
Introspect is small set of tools for iOS that aid in debugging user interfaces built with UIKit.
FXBlurView
UIView subclass that replicates the iOS 7 realtime background blur effect, but works on iOS 5 and above.
GrowingTextView
A library for implementing a UITextView which grows/shrinks with the text and starts scrolling when the content reaches a certain number of lines. Similar to the view in the official Apple SMS-app.
