Paper arrived in March 2012 and managed to wow a lot of iPad users immediately with its beautiful design. The app enabled users to create digital watercolors, drawings paintings, journals, outlines and more on the relatively large screen of the iPad. It was chosen as the best iPad app of the year by Apple at the end of last year.

It has also been one of the top-grossing apps: it regularly appears in the top 10 iPad apps that bring in the most money.

To date, Paper has 80 million downloads and the company says 80 million projects have been created with the app.

“Since we launched Paper we’ve been profitable,” co-founder and CEO Georg Petschnigg told me. ”But for us this [funding] is about taking business to the next level.”

For FiftyThree, that next level is about adding to its 22-person team (that’s split about even among designers and engineers in offices in Seattle and New York City). It’s also about more than one app. Petschnigg foresees expanding to an entire suite of software, services and hardware.

FiftyThree’s team is actually full of veterans of the hardware industry — people who worked on projects like Microsoft’s Xbox, Kinect and Courier, as well as Sonos — so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. An obvious pairing with the app would be a Paper-branded stylus, but Petschnigg wouldn’t elaborate on what kind of hardware they have in mind — or when it will arrive.

“We’ve been focused on iPad there, but the next part we’re working on is services that will start to answer the question of how people work together and collaborate,” he added. Without giving any more detail, he seemed to imply that collaboration means among several different platforms, not just Apple’s tablet.

On Monday morning, version 1.4 of Sunrise hit the iOS App Store and with it comes even more useful integration features that help make Sunrise an easy-to-use, all-encompassing, dynamic snapshot of your day.

In addition to integrating Facebook, Google Calendar and LinkedIn into the app (and local weather and birthdays) Sunrise is adding two more: Foursquare and Crunchbase.

The Foursquare integration is no surprise: Sunrise founders Pierre Valade and Jeremy Le Van are former Foursquare designers. What this will mean for Sunrise users is that check-ins to the Foursquare app on your iPhone will show up retroactively on your Sunrise calendar. So if you ended up at a great late-night spot you can’t remember the name of — but you checked in on Foursquare — if you look back at Sunrise for that day, you’ll see where you were and when.

The Crunchbase integration is aimed at business users. The database of companies will be available right inside the app. So if you’ve entered the name of the company you’re meeting with in Sunrise it will call up additional data about that person/company without forcing you to leave the app.

There’s also going to be a slightly better way of displaying Google Maps information: instead of selecting your meeting’s location and getting pushed out to the Google Maps app, you can now see the location on a map right inside Sunrise.

It’s a small update overall, but I like how quickly the team responded to Apple’s notable advance in native calendaring.

I’m not going to tell you how to sync your contacts across multiple accounts — that is, keeping exact copies of your contact list in sync across multiple accounts like Yahoo, Google, iCloud and Exchange.  This technique will also not help with proprietary information formats that you may have on various online services like LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook even though you may think of your friends, buddies and followers as a sort of contacts list. Rather, this is a list of helpful techniques for cleaning up the contact lists associated with your traditional mail accounts.

Managing multiple accounts

A lot of us have multiple email accounts that each have their own list of unique contacts. For instance, you probably have one account for personal use and a separate account for business.  I like having one dedicated to online purchases as well (that way I can keep my spam and promotional email separate from my personal and private email). On both OS X and iOS you can set up multiple accounts and view an aggregated version of your contact information across all of your Apple devices. The challenge comes when you have contacts that are represented as individual records in multiple accounts.

Linking similar contacts

Don’t think of these necessarily as duplicate accounts. You may have a very good reason for keeping a copy of a particular contact on each one of your accounts. One such reason would be when accessing your account’s email from a web browser: browser-based mail clients aren’t optimized to access other accounts contact lists.   For such situations when you do have two records for the same contact in two different accounts, there is a feature within the Contacts app that allows you to treat all the records as one account. The process is referred to as linking the accounts.

On iOS you accomplish this by first editing the account in question.  Then scroll down to the bottom of the record and tap on the button labeled “Link and unlink Contacts with.”  Here you will be able to associate records with other accounts.  That way the contact will only show up once rather than multiple times.

Merging duplicates

There are times when you do end up with multiple contacts within a single account.  Finding such duplicates and resolving merge issues manually can be very time consuming. There really is no utility that comes with iOS and the one that does come with OS X is not very powerful. I have found two apps that do a much better job.

The first is a Mac OS X app called Contacts Cleaner ($4.99 Mac). Contacts Cleaner will scan the contact accounts you have set up on your Mac and produce a report of all of the erroneous information contained in the list. Cards with only one name, spaces in the first name, duplicate addresses, bad phone numbers will all be categorized and displayed for you to review. Sometimes the app proposes a resolution and you can have it fix the record for you automatically. Or if you like, it will open the contact in the native Contacts app so you can resolve the conflict yourself.

The second is an iOS app called Multi Edit – Contacts Manager ($1.99 Universal). This app does a great job at finding duplicates and merging contact information into one record. It quickly identifies contacts with duplicate phone numbers, emails and similar names. It can even filter your contacts by birthday, company, job title and email account type. Once a duplicate is found, you have options as to what information you want to merge and you can edit the contact directly from within the app. It will even show you a preview of the new contact before it performs the merge.

Depending on how much missing information, data conflicts and duplicate records you have, just spending a little time each day may be all you need to clean up your contacts.

Creating backups

Backing up your contacts separately from the rest of your system is important in case all you manage to just lose your contacts.  You never know when an app, device or online service may really screw up your contact list, requiring you to restore it from a recent backup.

For Mac, the native Contacts app that comes with OS X can do a pretty decent job of backing up your contacts. In fact, I relied on this as the sole menas of backing up my contacts for years before iOS and iCloud ever existed. From within Contacts (formerly called Address Book), choose Export from the File menu and click on Contacts Archive. You will be asked to choose the destination of the archive file that will be created.

On iOS it is not as simple. You do not want to rely on a full backup of the device as your sole menas to keep an archive of your contacts. Instead, the aforementioned Multi Edit – Contacts Manager has a great backup utility built in. When you first run the app, you will be prompted to back up your contacts right away.  You can then maintain regular backups as time goes on.  Once the backup is complete, you have the option of emailing yourself a copy of the backup file.

Adding new contacts

This, of course, is how you got into this mess in the first place: meeting new and interesting people all the time. If you insist on expanding your contact list, be mindful of which account you are adding the contact to. As in, don’t accidentally add a customer or client’s information to your personal address book. Where new accounts go on iOS depends on what account you have set up as your default account for Contacts.  You can change this by going into your Settings for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scrolling down to the section labeled Contacts, and set the Default Account setting to the account you want to add new contacts to.  On the Mac, this same setting is configured in the general preferences for the Contacts app.

I tend to use Contacts more and more often.  I like to share contacts with others — sometimes these are people’s information, and sometimes these contacts are places, like from pins on the Maps app.  Knowing that I can quickly and easily clean up the messes that I make is comforting. Hopefully you too will be able to look upon your contacts as a valuable, well managed resource, rather than just another mess that you keep putting off cleaning up.

• Mobile Q2: Smartphone growth surges; iPad’s rule continues

Since launching in January on iOS, Vine grew from 1.77 percent of U.S. iPhone users for that month to 10.7 percent in May. And the number of Vine users grew an impressive 39.9 percent from April to May. Google Chrome — which is also arrived on iOS last summer – also saw increased usage — perhaps because iPhone users aren’t thrilled with Safari. According to Onavo: “During the first quarter, Chrome stayed relatively stable around 10 percent, but in April it jumped up to 14.3 percent and in May it jumped further to 17.4 percent.”

But pictures are worth a thousand words:

And, it appears that the uptick in use of Yahoo apps that Onavo previously tracked is continuing, perhaps due to a recent Flickr app refresh and the introduction of its Apple award-winning Weather app.

• Yahoo Weather grew 31.9 percent to 3.73 percent of users in May from 2.83 percent in April.
• Mail gained 6.91 percent to 2.13 percent of users in May from 2 percent in April.
• Flickr gained 41.3 percent to 1.15 percent in May from 0.81 percent in April.

Onavo has access to this behavior data because its free iOS app helps iPhone and iPad users minimize their monthly bandwidth charges by compressing application data in the cloud. In return, users provide Onavo with information about how long they actually engage with their apps.

Letterpress

One of the most recognizable names among the winners is the app that’s been doing flat design for iOS way longer than Apple: Letterpress. Loren Brichter — who we profiled last year — is one of the top developers/designers working on the iOS platform and he was rewarded by Apple (his former employer) for his word game that he engineered and designed all by himself.

Letterpress, which debuted last fall, was a good example where we first started to see how much more progressive Apple’s third-party app makers were in terms of design than Apple itself. That’s partially because of Apple’s one-year update cycle for the software, but also because of how comfortable Apple had gotten with iOS. (iOS 7, on the other hand, is a huge departure from the direction the company had been heading.)

Apple highlighted Letterpress’s “masterful asynchronous gameplay” and “its beautifully understated game interface, simple gestures, subtle animations, and restrained sound design.”

Also in the game category, Apple picked Badland, Ridiculous Fishing and Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders.

In productivity, Apple awarded Procreate for iPad, note-taking app Evernote (for iPhone, iPad and Mac) and Finish, a to-do list/task manager for the iPhone. The theme in all of these is that they look good and are easy to use, but that they also show off Apple’s own technologies. As the company said of Procreate, it “is a powerhouse of iOS technologies like ARC, Grand Central Dispatch, and OpenGL ES which deliver state-of-the-art performance and responsiveness, 64-bit precision, and smooth 60 fps rendering of canvas sizes up to 4K x 4K.”

To see the complete list of winners, check out Apple’s awards page. We’ll be highlighting the best of mobile and web design at our RoadMap conference in November in San Francisco. Tickets will go on sale later this Summer, and you can learn more about the event here.

@om without having played with it: visually it lacks affordances and a clear visual hierarchy. Happy to chat.—

@om Icons seem poorly designed and over-complicated. Not enough spacing. Color palate is extreme. Menus like Control Center seem cluttered.—

@om on purely visual level it feels unfinished and not that well designed. Helvetica Neue Ultra Light is a weird choice for type, too.—

Tom Coates, co-founder of Product Club, who in a past life worked at BBC and Yahoo’s Brickhouse, wrote back on Twitter in a string of tweets:

At least in part because it looks so much like wireframes with placeholders for things. Bit like a webpage with Times New Roman….It’s cramped in places, childish and garish in others, icons blend in with the background. And some of the design fetishes it has are as egregious if not worse than ios6 — frosted glass, fake depth, sliders with shadows. There are many good things about it too. Don’t get me wrong. App switcher is nice, etc. Interaction wise it looks and feels solid.

But on the other side of the coin are those who actually appreciate the new look.

The good news: the new UX is a big improvement and the UI skin can be iterated and polished over time #iOS7 #WWDC13—

@akosner @om Classic issue with most design critique, people over inflate the value of visual design. OS7 is indeed pretty, but other issues—

Mike Monteiro (of Mule Design) wrote in a Twitter DM (direct message):

It’s a breath of fresh air. Where was Apple going with the current crap? This opens up all manner of possibilities. I’m excited because it’s new. And fresh. The Forstall crap went to its logical conclusion. Any design system that can no longer be extended is death. The new stuff is a fresh start. Eventually it’ll die too. But right now I’m excited about how it can grow and be extended. It’s not perfect. But, as a designer, that excites me. As a consumer? I dunno.

Craig Mod, who is one my favorite design and content-focused thinkers, wrote:

iOS7 shows us that we’re at a point where design of digital device interfaces simply cannot be accurately assessed from afar. These are living things — systems. Where the physics, the parallax, the subtlety of the movements are all part of the ‘design’ and surface design is just a rather boring tip of an otherwise very deep iceberg. Until we live with the new OS for days, it’s hard to say how successful the new design is or isn’t. What was outlined today looks like a very rational base on which to extend the OS — somewhat timeless, far more timeless than what we had before. The only truly red flags I saw (aside from bad iconography which is trivial to fix) were the decisions around translucency. I’ve never seen an instance where translucency brings clarity, not muddle, to an interface. And from what we’ve seen so far, it looks like it falls on the muddle side in iOS7, too.

Justin Rhoades, a Portland-based designer, said:

I think the design had to be reset so that newer interaction models could surface. More gestures, more animations. They added a physics engine to the SDK. It’s like a pendulum swinging from obvious visual affordances to engaging kinetic ones. The parallax effect, the physics of the messages bubbles and I’m sure many other ‘kinetic’ behaviors are new to devs in iOS7. Apple wants apps to use more motion and less visual design.

There is a furious debate going on over at Quora, where someone asked the question: is iOS7 an improvement? You can either check that out, or take a moment and share your thoughts regarding the new iOS 7 in the comments.

We’ll be digging into experience design at our annual RoadMap conference in San Francisco in November. Tickets will go on sale later this Summer, and you can sign up here to get first access to them.

So you don’t make the same error, here’s a primer on what you should expect from the in-app purchases you make on your Apple devices. First thing to know, there are four types: non-replenishable, replenishable, subscriptions and auto-renewing subscriptions.

Non-replenishable in-app purchases

The most common type of in-app purchase that I have encountered in non-game apps are the non-replenishable kind.This includes purchases that enable features within an application.  Some developers opt to distribute one app for free, then enable more features for a price. These only need to be purchased once and can be transfered to multiple devices, provided they all are authorized with the same iTunes account. This type of in-app purchase will survive a new iPhone purchase and will be there for you when you restore a device from a backup of your OS.

The one drawback is that this in-app purchase category does not transfer between app stores.  If you buy an app on both the iOS and Mac app stores — say, ByWord, like I did — and pay to unlock a new feature on one platform, that in-app purchase will not transfer over to the other platform. I have ByWord on my Mac and on iOS. I just recently noticed that the premium publishing upgrade I paid for in the iOS version on my iPhone, it does not transfer to the OS X version of the app on my Mac the way it did for my iPad.

Replenishable in-app purchases

Then there are the replenishable in-app purchases. These are most commonly found in games and can be purchased multiple times. One popular example is smurfberries, a replenishible in-app purchase that caused some controversy with parents when they first arrived in the App Store via the Smurfs Village game. With this type of item you pay for in a game, you may think that it is a non-replenishible in-app purchase and it would transfer between devices, but you never know for sure. (Smurfberries don’t.) Most of the time you find out when it is too late too: after you have already transfered over to a new device you just bought, or you have already reset the device and restored from a backup.

This happened to me recently when installing Dude Perfect on a second device.  I thought that the in-app purchase that enabled the level editor was the kind of in-app purchase you only have to buy once, so I was shocked to discover after purchasing it first on my iPhone, that I had to pay for it again when I tried to access the feature on my iPad. Not cool, dudes.

One-time subscriptions

There is a similar distinction when it comes to subscriptions purchased through Apple. There are basic subscriptions that expire after a period of time, like purchasing a single issue of a magazine, which is really just a one-month subscription. And then there are auto-renewing subscriptions that keep on going until you cancel them.  I now manage many of my magazine subscriptions via my iTunes account. Individual one-time subscriptions cannot be transfered or synced to another device, whereas auto-renewing subscriptions can. With subscriptions you tend to know ahead of time what you are getting into, though. Especially when it is an auto-renewing subscription.

Auto-renewing subscriptions

The one type of in-app purchase that really stands out from the rest is the auto-renewing subscription. If you are using an iOS device, open the App Store, go to the Featured tab, and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Tap on the Apple ID button to view your account information. Here you will see a button that will allow you to manage all of the auto-renewing subscriptions that you have already purchased. This is also how you cancel your subscription. You can also access and manage your auto-renewing subscriptions from your Mac by using iTunes. Just choose the Store menu and click on the View My Account menu item.

Keeping track of in-app purchases

Like auto-renewing subscriptions, it would be convenient to see a listing of all of my non-replenishable in-app purchases. Apple already allows me to see my complete purchase history for music, videos, books and apps. Why not add non-replenishable in-app purchases to the list as well? Only then would one be able to truly know what they are getting themselves into when making an in-app purchase.

The app, which is not cheap at $4.99, has been in the works since last fall, its genesis linked to a meeting between Brent Simmons, the app’s developer, Dave Wiskus, its designer, and Gruber, who calls himself the app’s “director.” They met at a conference in Montreal, and named the company Q Branch. Gruber says the app is based on “an idea I’ve been pondering for years.”

It’s hard to categorize what exactly Vesper is: it’s a note-taking app, but it can also function as a to-do list. These are both popular categories of apps on the iOS App Store, so Vesper has its work cut out for it to stand out among them: it’s basically competing with everything from Evernote to Wunderlist to Google Keep to Clear.

“What’s the difference between a thought, an idea, and something you want to do?” Gruber asked. “I don’t know exactly. That’s why we made Vesper.”

The app is very simple and from just some brief use, it’s pretty speedy. You can quickly add notes or thoughts with a “+” button, swipe to archive items, tag them, and attach photos. You can share them only via email or iMessage; no social options exist yet. The other thing missing: any way to sync your notes to another device. This is only an iPhone app, so if you create a to-do list or collection of thoughts here, there’s no simple way to also see that list on your desktop or a tablet.

One of the standout things about Vesper is the appearance: it’s very simple with muted tones; which is probably intended not to distract from the “get things done” point of the app. (It’s also reminiscent of the stripped-down simplicity of DaringFireball.net.)

It’s hard not to notice how very “flat” the design is. In other words, very much in line with the latest trends in iOS design and — considering Gruber’s sources — likely to blend pretty seamlessly with iOS 7 design changes Apple’s likely to announce at WWDC next week.

Now Xyo has a new weapon in that quest: Facebook. The firm’s new service, Apps For Me, taps into the social network to see what the user’s likes are and then recommends new apps accordingly. So, whereas using Xyo’s previous incarnation meant digging down through categories and subcategories (which can be fun in itself), “the new Xyo” essentially provides a kickstart based on established tastes.

The service also brings up the user’s friends’ app interests, and even suggests apps to recommend back to those friends. As Xyo CEO Zoe Adamovicz put it: “When I see the face of a friend in a search result for eBooks apps, my personal relationship with him or her makes me more curious to explore this app interest further.”

Apps For Me works for Android, iPhone, iPad and Windows Phone. In my brief hands-on testing, I found it works quite well but not perfectly. Because I’ve “liked” Malcolm Tucker (a TV and film character) and Hot Chip (a band), it suggested I go for movie trivia apps, and my liking of the obtuse comedy writer Charlie Brooker somehow resulted in a recommendation for “puzzles and logic games” – but otherwise my political leanings led to political suggestions, musical tastes to “rock and metal” and so on.

As Xyo co-founder Matthäus Krzykowski noted, this is all part of the shift from a Google world to a Google Now world – search is still integral, but predictions of what you might want to search for are increasingly part of the equation. “In this sense the new Xyo is an app recommendation engine for the mobile world,” he said.

To be fair, Xyo is not the first outfit to promise socially powered app recommendations: recent startups attacking this space include AppCurious for iOS and AppUpdate for Android. But Xyo is a company with a serious track record and is as such well placed to finally crack this nut.

And it’s a nut worth cracking. Numerous surveys have suggested that most people don’t browse past the top 50 apps in their platform’s official storefront, so any development that might open things up for new entrants must surely be welcomed.
