Dropbox for iOS was today updated to version 3.0, adding a complete iOS 7-style redesign. The app features a revamped App Store icon and an overall design that incorporates more white space, a cleaner look, and lighter, less obtrusive navigation bars. Folder and menu icons have also been revamped.

In addition to a new look, the updated version of Dropbox features a streamlined iPad experience plus improved sharing and exporting. It also incorporates AirDrop support, speed improvements, PDF viewing updates, and bug fixes.

Following last week’s announcement of a significant update that would bring iOS 7’s Notification Center alerts to the Pebble Smart Watch, Apple has approved Pebble’s app update, enabling the new functionality for Pebble owners.

Version 1.3.0 of the Pebble Smartwatch app supports Apple’s iOS 7 notification system for the iPhone 4s and higher, allowing all Notification Center alerts to be displayed on the watch face. Previously, notification alerts were limited to calls and text messages, but now the Pebble Smart Watch is able to display notifications from apps like Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Calendar, Instagram, and more.

Along with the new notification functionality, Pebble has also launched its 2.0 SDK, adding APIs for Javascript, Accelerometer, Data Logging, and Persistent Storage to allow developers to create apps that interface directly with the web.

Popular fitness tracking app Runkeeper has been updated today with several new featurestaking advantage of some of the software and hardware improvements released by Apple with iOS 7 and the iPhone 5s.

As with several other fitness apps such as Nike+ Move, RunKeeper is now able to tap into the M7 motion coprocessor included on the iPhone 5s. The M7 automatically tracks movement in the background, and RunKeeper can use that data to add certain activity sessions to your workout list retroactively.

If you’ve ever been walking around a lot and wished you had tracked it with RunKeeper, regret no more! Our new Pocket Track feature tracks walks of at least 15 minutes automatically and gives you the option to add those to your activity list. Just be sure to opt in to background activity tracking when you install this update, and also open up RunKeeper at the end of each day so you can find those walks that were tracked.

The new version of RunKeeper also includes support for the AirDrop feature of iOS 7, allowing users to easily transfer friend requests and workout information to other RunKeeper users.
