InstaCC Application for iphone, android

InstaCC Application for iphone, android





This app is similar to Idea Mix, another daily picture idea app, though this one is definitely a better package.

Sign into the app with your Instagram account. You will see a calendar view by month, with previous Instagram pictures on each day they were created.

If you have multiple pictures for one day, just the first one in the set is shown, though you can tap the day to see the others. Selecting the picture within this shows you how many tags you’ve attached to it, as well as how many comments and likes it received.

Selecting the lightbulb at the bottom of the screen will bring up the list of challenges. Three sets of challenges are offered, though two of them are in-app purchases. The “Just a beginning” set is free, and offers challenges with topics such as love, nature, and colors. Each challenge varies with the number of days to complete it.

Accepting a challenge will populate your camera icon with the required element for the day. You can either choose to take a picture that will tag with the relevant information or just take a picture.

Either way, the app will launch you into Instagram, where you can apply those retro filters that make them so Instagrammy. I’ll tell you one thing, your photos definitely receive a lot more attention if you post them with the InstaCC tags.

A smiley face will appear next to your challenge upon completion. Though if you’re short on ideas, you can always select the arrow to the side to pull a mosaic of other users’ photos. Touch anywhere on the mosaic to refresh it with more pictures.

Mohu Bounce Reviews

Mohu Bounce Reviews



The Bounce is essentially a WiFi focusing device. Made of high-impact plastic, and looking like an alien probe--saw something like it hovering over Manhattan once--the lightweight Bounce snugs right on top of most WiFi wireless antennae types. It really is quite simple to set up. You remove it from the box, install it on the rabbit ear or ears (need 2 for dual antenna models), and position it with the sleeker, more pointed end facing toward the direction where you are trying to boost or focus your signal the most.

In my case, I need to boost my signal upwards and towards the front of my house, so it was trickier finding an optimal position. The Mohu gadget does act like a top-weight on the antenna, and I would find that it had drooped down to a non-optimal position. The position that worked out the best was a few degrees off the vertical, tilted slightly away from my front door.



When I started my testing, I considered my WiFi signal strength on average. In the basement and first floor, of course I do not have any signal problems worth mentioning, but I seldom get more than a few bars in the upstairs rooms, especially my small office at the front of the house (the AP is not only 3 floors down, but also the other side). I often suffer signal and connection degradation and performance issues. I was skeptical that a weirdly shaped piece of plastic would make much difference through load-bearing walls. I was pleasantly surprised. I have rarely noted a drop below 4 bars on my upstairs computer since using the Bounce, and my iPad also gets markedly better reception as well.

General WiFI performance tips: I have played around a bit with WiFi over the years and figured I would throw in a few generic tips that might also help you get better performance from your local wireless if you are having problems...

1. Place WiFi as close to the center point of your home as possible for best coverage. Walls, electrical, other wireless devices and electronics all can interfere, so keep your AP away as much as possible from these problem areas.

2. Upgrade your firmware or even get a newer router/AP if possible. Latest WiFi devices offer superior performance and security over older models, especially any that support the latest wireless N standards.

3. Turn off encryption if you can. When people hear me say this they freak out, but I don't mean do your online taxes on that same connection. What I really mean: Set up a second WiFi router for totally non-private data usage--streaming music or AirPlay, etc--why encrypt the traffic? Encryption adds overhead, and sometimes problems, but of course for any kind of use than the basic examples I gave (ANYTHING involving login/password), you must encrypt. Of course, if you live at the South Pole or some super remote area...you could probably do anything you want then. I have an older router I use for testing and streaming music in my house for example. It doesn't connect to the internet or any but a few devices. I leave encryption off in that case.

4. Boost your signal. Some AP makers offer high-gain antennae that are similar in price (but mostly more expensive) compared to the Bounce. I would recommend that you just go grab a Mohu Bounce...

Angry Birds Space game for Android,ipad,laptop,iphone

Angry Birds Space game for Android,pc,laptop,iphone

After creating a rage and gathering accolades on the gaming planet, the Angry Birds now literally get into space for a new battle. Their enemies remain the same – the pigs who are after their eggs. Angry Birds Space is the next in Rovio’s Angry Birds series and comes with completely new gameplay. The story begins when a monstrous claw from space comes down to look for a golden egg and, along with the golden one, picks one of those belonging to the birds, who, you guessed it, get angry. The birds then follow the claw to the space to get back their eggs and take on the pigs once more. This being space, the battle field is full of stars, asteroids and other celestial bodies. There are 60 interstellar levels with different backgrounds set on planets and in zero gravity. The mode of battle remains the same as in previous models – you shoot the birds using a catapult aiming them at the pigs who are hidden inside fortifications.

However, this being space, gravity acts differently, and in many cases, not at all, which makes the attacks all the more challenging to plan. The physics applied might take you time to understand – birds go round and round and planets and drift away sometimes – but once you get the hang of it, you will keep coming back for more. There are four levels - Pig Bang, Cold Cuts, Danger Zone and Eggsteroids, so far with different inter levels in them. You only move to the next level after unlocking all the stages of the previous one. And in the middle of the game you can actually stumble across other mini-games – we tapped on a worm hole and found ourselves playing a birdy version of Space Invaders at one stage. All of which makes Angry Birds Space a worthy addition to the series. It retains the strengths – simple physics-oriented gameplay – and throws in the element of gravity. Awesome, we think. It’s free on Android and costs $ 2.99 for iPad and $ 0.99 for iPhone.

MappleStory Thief Edition game reviews for iphone

MappleStory Thief Edition game reviews for iphone

















In the game, players go through MapleWorld, a universe filled with monsters. As you play and gain experience, you develop more strengths. You can also talk to other people, trade, band together and play mini-games. Lots of people gang up to hunt monsters together, making it a social happening. So now you can play this on your iphone or ipad as well! (I recommend using a tablet) In the iphone version, MapleStory Thief edition you get to be either a thief or an assassin. (I always wanted to be an assassin)

Once you’ve picked a character you go off into MapleWorld and it’s pretty much the same as the online version, just lacks the interaction, which, to me, seemed the whole point!
Then again: as it’s temporarily free, this game’s a real steal….

Amoveo application review for iphone

Amoveo application review for iphone

To begin with the app offers no explanation on how to use it. In fact there isn’t even a title screen or info box. The app simply drops you on a list of six categories of themes like romance, travel, or holidays. Tapping one of the categories lets you preview and choose a theme to use for the slideshow. Up to this point I would say that Amoveo has succeeded in creating a no fuss minimal interface that would be easy to use by even iOS beginners. Not need for instructions here.

Once we reach the step where you must choose that photos that will go in the slideshow is where hte interface takes the “less is more” mantra a little too far. You see it gives you a list of all your photos, from oldest to newest, and offers no way to search, divide, or to otherwise narrow down your search. With thousands of photos in my iPhone it becomes quite a chore to search out for the particular ones I want, especially since the newer photos are on the bottom of the list. That annoyance aside, you can choose seven photos to include in the slideshow aand they will be shown in the order you select them.
Once you tap the last photo it immediately jumps to a progress bar as it generates your video slideshow. I hope you didn’t tap the wrong photo. Once it is finished, the video will play so you can see how it turned out. There are a variety of transitions for the photos and the animation and music are generally well laid out and fit with the various themes. Once the video is done you can then preview it again or share it; which will let you save the video to your camera roll, or share it on Facebook or Youtube. If you realize you made a mistake you have to tap the steps at the top to return to the photo picker and choose your photos again.

Amoveo has many good points and I can see many less savvy users making good use of the simple design. I think the interface goes a little too far at times and results in making it difficult to make changes, but overall the app does a good job of giving you a video slideshow you can send to you friends or relatives. I would recommend this app to anyone that finds Apple’s iMovie app a little too much for them to handle. You can download it currently for $2.99 at the app store.

ContactsXL 3+ Sync with Facebook application review for iphone and ipad

ContactsXL 3+ Sync with Facebook application review for iphone and ipad






















A look at the ContactsXL one shows that it is not much more than a different interface for dealing with your iPhone’s contacts. Sure there was groups and birthday reminder, but there wasn’t anything compelling to drag me away from the iOS’s contacts. With version three however, it opens many interesting opportunities for those that have a sizable number of Facebook contacts. Once you have authorized ContactsXL it allows you to view your friends on Facebook and even import them into your iOS contacts. Once missing feature is that the app can not see Facebook groups. I was hoping to sort and import from groups of friends I have set up on Facebook. This becomes especially important when you have hundreds of contacts and not all of them are ones you want in your iPhone.

With so many contacts it can become difficult to manage them and while the iOS contacts do have groups, they are not manageable from the iOS device. ContactsXL most useful feature has to be the addition of both standard and smart groups. You can sort and organize your contacts into whatever sets of groups best fit your needs, but I think the best way is to set up smart groups, which uses a set of criteria to auto-populate a group. This way, whenever new contacts are added they will automatically be assigned to the appropriate group. Facebook and regular contacts can be assigned and You can have as many smart groups as you like. With these groups you can send out group texts or emails.

While many people are more than happy with the iOS’s built in contacts, there are those that require a bit more control and with Facebook integration and syncing ContactsXL looks like just the tool for the job. ContactsXL has a lite version that lacks the Facebook parts, but the full version is only $.99 so it shouldn’t be much of a risk to give this app a try and see if it helps you manage your communications better.

Twtio Audio Recording application review for iphone,ipad

Twtio Audio Recording application review for iphone,ipad





















Thanks to this great new app called Twtio, you can! Just go to the website, record whatever you want and then post it to all your friends on Twitter. yes, it’s that simple! It’s very easy to use, the interface is brilliant, because it’s so easy to see where you’re going, I really couldn’t fault this app. And they have a great competition planned, a quest to find the Greatest Sound on Earth, and you could win an iPad2.

So imagine you’re getting married, and you record the “I do” and then you could tweet it to the world. Or you’re at Wimbledon, and you capture the sound of the winning roar. A lark singing, the engine of your new car, or simply “see you at the meeting tomorrow at 5!”, the options are ENDLESS: this is a really cool app, and it’s free, so go for it!

MelAPP application reviews for iphone,ipad

MelAPP application reviews for iphone,ipad
















Health Discovery Corporation (OTCBB: HDVY) is a molecular diagnostics company which has come up with the MelApp. This little app will help you tell whether your freckle or mole is just that or the beginning of something sinister. It’s quite a high tech app, that uses pattern recognition and mathematical algorithms. The app is linked to the Johns Hopkin’s cancer research library. The system they use is called ABCDE, which stands for Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter and Evolution. These factors put together will help you decide whether you need to go see a doctor. Simply snap a quick pic of your mole or freckle and within seconds you’ll know!

I’m not sure about these things. I’m sure they did their research and this is in principle a great app. But what if you are on a sunny beach and decide to take a quick snapshot and suddenly find you have cancer? No support system, no doctor to explain what the next steps are, or how you may be able to treat it. I think the panic caused by such an app could be considerably worse than its advantages. Still, so many people are unaware of the dangers that any way of getting more people to check their moles etc is a great thing. Still, in the words of the great Baz Luhrman: “Use sunscreen”!

VirusBarrier application review for iphone,ipad

VirusBarrier application review for iphone,ipad

















Because of the sandbox, you can’t scan the file system,” Intego spokesman Peter James told Computerworld.com, “Since you don’t see the iOS file system, the only things you can scan are attachments sent by email or files in, say, your Dropbox folder.”

So basically, if the virus is inside the app, Virus Barrier cannot trace it, but if it’s in an attachment, like a pdf, pdf being the big security hole in Apple devices at the moment, it can. Also, it will be possible to stop your device from spreading it around. A word of caution: Intego also make malware defenses for MAC, which are notoriously impossible to deinstall, so I’d be a bit careful before installing this.

American Ball game review for iphone and ipad

American Ball game review for iphone and ipad






















It’s basically a carnival game, you have to throw a ball in a hole/circle and each hole gives you a different score. You only get nine throws per turn though, so you have to make the most of them. The higher your score, the more tickets you get, and this is where the game comes to its own.

At carnivals, if you hit a certain amount of points, you get a stuffed pink teddy bear or a lighter shaped as a guy on a horse (yes, I remember that lighter fondly, I wonder what happened to it?). Here you get tickets, and with those tickets you can buy stuff to spruce up your personal game lobby. So for instance you can put down carpets, prettier ceilings and all kinds of other fixtures. Mind you: you have to go back to the beginning to get all this stuff, and you may not succeed on your first go. However, there was something very rewarding at putting a clock on my wall.

All in all, carnivals are about the atmosphere, cotton candy and the tat you can win. American Ball provides the tat, and quite a bit of 3D atmosphere. Now if only they could give me some candy… As it’s completely free, I’d just give it a go.

Seattle Cocktail Compass application for iphone,ipad reviews

Seattle Cocktail Compass application for iphone,ipad reviews




















The Seattle Cocktail Compass doesn’t work quite as well if you’re not in, say, Seattle, but it’s inspiring anyway!

The app shows every happy hour in town, and adds what else is on offer at that place: dancing, billiards, air conditioning… You can easily call ahead to these places from within the app and you can add the ones you like, or a re saving for next time, to favorites. This app is wonderful if you’re new to town, or looking to try something different. And it even helps you to find a cab when you’re ready to go home….

I love this app. There’s only one obvious flaw: if they haven’t come to your city yet, it’s of no use whatsoever. Cocktail Compass is on the move though: The app has moved on from Seattle to Boise, NYC, Portland, Pittsburg, Charleston, Raleigh and Little Rock, which is a vast improvement. So when are they coming to Europe????

Captain America sentnel of library game reviews of ipad and iphone

Captain America sentnel of library game reviews of ipad and iphone

















Captain America sentinel of liberty runs (and runs) through 24 levels fighting the evil forces of HYDRA, but the controls are sluggish and gameplay is kinda dull…..

Captain America sentinel of liberty is all about fighting: you can throw your shield at the bad guys, or clobber them, or kick their lights out. All good and gameplay is fluent. Along the way there are all kinds of hazards, such as booby traps and bombs and trip lasers that send in more bad guys. What I thought was kinda funny is that you can earn extra outfits for The Captain (is it me or is that less than masculine?). There are three locations, and each location has eight different levels. If you want to get all the loot you’ll probably have to revisit levels, which can be a teensy weensy bit tedious.

A few people have already remarked that this game looks an awful lot like the Mirror’s Edge app, which at the game’s original price of $4.99 may make you feel like you’re being ripped off just a little bit. Also it’s great they hired an actor to say the Captains lines but couldn’t they have given him more? And why doesn’t the game have the remotest ting to do with the movie? That would’ve been fun, right? Actually, even at the current 80% discount I still say: BORING.

BBC iplayer application for iphone and ipad

BBC iplayer application for iphone and ipad















With this app you can watch live BBC TV (all four channels!) and listen to live BBC radio (there are like a thousand stations). You can make a list of your favorite shows and they’ll be added to your playlist as soon as they air. To add favorite shows, simply drag and drop them into your fave list. Easy as pie! The app also features a TV guide so you can browse and see what else is on.

Apparently, according to The Guardian, the app will be available in Canada, Australia and the US later this year, but until then it will be available in 11 European countries, including Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, France and The Netherlands. The BBC says it’s a pilot for 1 year. The app is free to download, but in order to watch anything you need a subscription, which comes to 6.99 euros a month or 49.99 a year. Personally, I am very excited and will download asap!

Free Music Download application for iphone and ipad

Free Music Download application for iphone and ipad






















Free Music Download Pro claims that not only are they free (well, apart from the app, which you have to buy at a rather stiff $4.99 which isn’t free by a long chalk in my book), they are also legal. Really? How did they manage to squeeze past Bono? Well, here’s what they do: (and watch this space, they probably won’t be doing it for much longer!): they just link you to websites with links to free music.

The app itsself has NO music at all. Which brings us to a big issue with this app: the websites they link to aren’t, at all, suited to mobile. so it looks like crap and it’s difficult to use. Even worse: after you’ve waded through endless popups and sign up screens, the downloads often don’t work on iphone. And if by lucky chance you manage to download a song, you can only listen to it WITHIN the app, you cannot add it to your library!

This app is a complete waste of time, please stay away from it!

PictureShow application for iphone and ipad
















PictureShow actually delivers on that lomography, analog, nostalgic look. PictureShow just has so many more options as well! The randomizer in Hipstamatic is a nice touch, but the filters and settings are so subtle I hardly notice the difference. Not so with PictureShow! Wow. IndigoHalo, Cinema, multi exposure black & white, they’re all cool!

I bought Hipstamatic and then forked out another $1.99 for their Swankolab after effects, which I also found just a little disappointing. I’ve been toying with PictureShow all day, and I haven’t had pictures this cool ever.

Speech Notes application for iphone and ipad

Speech Notes application for iphone and ipad

















I love apps that put spoken words into text, if only for their entertainment value, because these babies make a LOT of funny mistakes as well.

Such as somehow turning ‘plethora’ (trust me, that’s not a word I use often) into ‘sturgis restaurant’. I know, it’s not quite as funny as ‘penis’, but it’s weird to say the least. For a free app it actually works pretty well. Apart from the ‘plethora’ thing (and, let’s face it, that’s not a word anyone should use) it got most of what I said down pat. It’s default setting is English, but it also supports Czech, Danish, German, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian.

Big downside? Huge even? There’s no way to export your notes! That really sucks! They should set up a connection with Dropbox or Google docs or anything. At the very least an option to email the notes to yourself.
So all in all, even though it’s free, this is definitely not the best speech app, so I’ll keep looking and hoping someone will get it right!

The ESV Bible application for iphone and ipad

The ESV Bible application for iphone and ipad





















The ESV bible app is a good option as it’s free, not bogged down by ads and it’s very user friendly. It opens to all the bible books, divided by Old Testament and New Testament, you can scroll through the separate books and within the books the separate chapters. As it’s the English Standard Version, it only offers English as a language, so if you’re looking for another language this definitely isn’t the app for you.

It doesn’t offer a reading plan and it doesn’t allow you to share notes or thoughts with friends or family, which is a shame. As it’s free, and they want to spread the word, they don’t have the funds to do too much on development, but they have promised to make it more interactive, making it possible to share notes and thoughts.

Lockitze your lock screen application for iphone and ipad

Lockitze your lock screen application for iphone and ipad





















Lockitze your lock screen is not, as you might expect, some sort of security app. Lockitize, instead, is like putting a sign ‘beware of the dog’ when all you have is a gold fish. Perceived security, without any of the hassle such as feeding and walking a dog, or in the case of an iPhone, remembering a code of some sort to protect your iPhone from prying eyes or theft. So you can add a finger print scanner to your screen or a device specific security screen.

I think this is a total waste of money. Why the hell would anyone pay a dollar for what is no more than a wall paper app? Well, apparently, there are loads of idiots out there. Don’t buy this!
