Livr is a social networking application which requires users to fail a breathalyzer test before they are able to log in and connect with other inebriated members. The app promises to deliver "an online party at all times," and a mom-free experience (unless your mom is a drunk too) for drunk adults.

The app includes several features and social games for members to participate in. The Hot Spots section allows users to find the hottest hangouts by revealing the highest B.A.C. ratings of locations tagged by other members. Members can also stay at home and earn points by playing Truth or Dare, or use the Drunk Dial feature to randomly connect and chat with other drunk strangers.

The idea of disabling LTE on your iPhone may sound a bit odd to some, but not everyone needs 4G data speeds, and it can also be a bit of a drain on your battery. This is especially true for AT&T users whose phones tend to jump back and forth between 4G LTE and HSPA+. If you are out and about for a long trip, and don't need fast data speeds, it is may be a good idea to disable LTE so you can get more life out of your battery. Here's how:

Open your Settings app and tap the Cellular tab to open the cellular options on your iPhone. From here you can disable Cellular Data, LTE and Data Roaming. Just tap the "Enable LTE" slider so it turns white to turn it off. Just don't forget to turn it back on when need to access faster data speeds.

Next Games and AMC today announced that a mobile game based on the hit television show The Walking Dead is in development. Next Games didn't reveal any details about the game itself, but the Finnish company did promise that it will be "unlike anything we've seen from The Walking Dead franchise on home or mobile gaming hardware before.”

“Our take on the undead survival franchise will match the against-all-odds action and moment-to-moment tension of the TV series. We want to find that sweet spot where gameplay and narrative inform and reinforce one another,” said Teemu Huuhtanen, CEO at Next Games.

The encrypted desktop chat app and browser plugin Cryptocat is finally available for iOS devices after initially being rejected by Apple's app review team. The app uses the Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) protocol to allow users the ability to send group messages without the fear of being monitored.

Founder Nadim Kobeiss told The Verge that the chat app was rejected by Apple for "illegitimate" reasons and that the App Store problems had been fixed.

"There was some very important help given by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and we ended up scheduling a conversation with Apple, and after a while Apple was very gracious and understanding," he said. "I couldn't be happier with Apple right now."

Tabasco Interactive has released the trailer to their new game Star Horizon. The plot follows a pilot named John and his ship's artificial intelligence, Ellie, who must work together to discover what happened 1,000 years after the war between The Inter Galactic Corporation (aka the Federation) and the Rebels.

Star Horizon is an on-rail shooter where players can choose to fight for either the Federation or the Rebels. Tabasco Interactive promises that the game will include plenty of intense and immersive space battles, lots of dark humor and the ability to "write your own galactic story and master your destiny." Players will also be able to upgrade their ship and weapons, earn achievements, and use swipe controls instead of a virtual joystick.
