HR Hero is now offering a free App that gives you mobile access to up-to-date human resources news. The HR Hero App works on any iOS 3.0 or later iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad, aggregating information from all of our blogs, HR Hero Alerts, HR Hero Twitter, and our YouTube channel. Additionally, there is a button that allows users to share articles and posts on Twitter, Facebook, and with e-mail.

This wasn’t the first App our Senior Graphic Designer Vincent Skyers worked on. In December 2010, he released the Apps All Politics, which aggregates news from political sources like the  Huffington Post, RNC, and DNC, and All Design, which he designed to keep the user up-to-date on design trends.

Two caveats here are that video calling only works on iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 calls, and the video calls need to be conducted over a Wi-Fi network.
