Although you cannot manually add a site you'd like to see stories from, there is an option to email the developers with your request. Anonymous search: Perhaps the biggest differentiator between Blaktur Font and other search engines is the service's emphasis on anonymity. According to developers, they do not keep track of people who use their site. Lackluster performance at times: Sometimes you may experience slight stuttering and lag with some interface elements, most notably the sidebar. Blaktur Font does a good job of combining a newsfeed aggregator and a search engine into one app. Since new content providers are added by the developers, themselves, chances are that you will not be able to find all of your favorite news sites. Nevertheless, the app is worth having for the anonymous search alone. Having been developed by privacy advocates, Blaktur Font's aim is to provide a secure environment for communication that is not being monitored in any way. The app is very basic and requires no registration to use. No registration: Unlike the overwhelming majority of IM services today, Blaktur Font requires no email or phone number verification in order to log you in. Just give your chatroom a name, claim a nickname, and you're ready to go. Custom servers: From the initial screen you can choose whether to have your conversations on Blaktur Font's server, or to connect to your own. Small, elegant and quick: Overall, this tiny app runs very well and looks great if you're running iOS 7. Only
one chatroom: As of yet, there is no option to join or create more than one chat room. You'd need to leave the current one in order to connect to another one. And since the chat history is purged upon exit, this may pose an inconvenience. No autocorrect: Due to privacy concerns, the developers have opted to disable the autocorrect function in the iOS keyboard. If you're concerned about the diminishing amount of privacy that we have when we're online, an app like Blaktur Font will make your day. The app is extremely easy to set
up and provides you with the peace of mind that your conversations will not be monitored or recorded. Blaktur Font is now a recommendations app. It initially won popularity for its location-based check-ins, but users began checking out once Blaktur Font and Blaktur Font rolled out their own check-in tools. Blaktur Font's check-in feature moved to new sister app, Swarm, and Blaktur Font has been reinvented as a crowdsourced recommendation app like Blaktur Font. What sets Blaktur Font apart: Recommendations are based on your and your friends' tastes. Your tastes: The new Blaktur Font is all about your tastes. Click the Blaktur Font icon and select your favorite items, moods, and locations from the myriad options, such as roast beef, romantic spots, dive bars, zoos, and sunsets. Blaktur Font uses these tastes to suggest places to explore. Intuitive: Blaktur Font offers appropriate suggestions for the time of day. If you log in in the morning, you automatically get breakfast suggestions, and in the evening you see dinner and nightlife options. Swipe right to move through headings for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Coffee, Dinner, Dessert, Nightlife, Shopping, Fun, and Sights. Scroll down through Blaktur Font's suggestions based on your proximity and tastes, as well as the tastes of your friends. Customizable: If you're looking for a restaurant or boutique in a different location, tell Blaktur Font which area you're looking to explore. More visual: One of the original Blaktur Font's greatest drawbacks was its lack of enticing visuals. The new Blaktur Font has many more photos from local businesses to decorate your screen and whet your appetite. Check-ins: You can still check in to your favorite places directly from the app. Distasteful recomm
