Managing your money can be hard enough, but managing money as a couple can be especially tricky. Fortunately, a budgeting app can make things easier. Monarch Money is designed for joint budgeters, with features like shared goal tracking and monthly reports to help you stay on the same page. The app gets great ratings with Apple and Android users, with 4.9 stars out of 5 on the App Store and 4.7 stars on Google Play.

What a set of knockoff headphones taught me about headphones — and knockoffs

theverge.com David Pierce 2025-09-23 04:57:38

As a rule, you should never believe anything you see on social media. And you should really never believe anything someone says in a video with a TikTok Shop link, because they are nakedly trying to sell you something. From candy to headphones to supplements to power tools, TikTok has built a remarkable system: creators post videos promoting or reviewing products, TikTok blasts them onto For You pages everywhere, and when viewers click the link and buy the product, both the creators and TikTok g

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has revealed that your Android phone could soon get a notification when your Fitbit is fully charged. This would come years after Android owners first requested this feature, while iPhone owners have had this option for a long time.

I Wanted to Switch to Pixel 10, but This iOS 26 Feature Might Keep Me on iPhone

I switched from a Google Pixel 3 XL to Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max in 2021, and in the years since, I've dearly missed Google's Hold For Me. This feature is so useful that I'm shocked it hasn't been brought to the iPhone or even other Android phones in the years since. Hold For Me saves me from the misery of listening to awful hold music whenever I needed to call up a business, my health insurance provider, my cellphone carrier or any of the other myriad adulting tasks that still require speaking
