Given the vast tool set brought to our fingertips by the modern-day smartphone, we often completely overlook the bread-and-butter features such as the ability to make calls and sending SMS messages. But while we have an abundance of utilities and services allowing us to stay connected with each other in ways we could only have dreamt about a few years ago, most of us still commonly engage in the same voice calls we were making long before the likes of Facebook and Skype took over our lives. As such, apps extending the basic phone feature remain abundant, and the app we're featuring here today not only offers business-level call recording, but arrives complete with a number of great features.
You'd have to have been living in a cave earlier this year to miss the whole Flappy Bird saga. Becoming hugely popular on the App Store and Play Store almost overnight, Flappy Bird raked in huge sums of money for its creator Dong Nguyen on an apparently daily basis. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to keep him happy though, and his newfound fame - or should that be infamy - caused him to pull the game and almost disappear.
The fact that, some time ago, Facebook decided to separate the Messenger segment of its service into a standalone mobile app wasn't too much of an issue when it initially went down. After all, users could still easily continue to communicate using the official app, and the Facebook Messenger app was a convenient service dedicated to IM only. However, as users have noticed over the past couple of months, Facebook for iOS and Android is now a message-free zone, which, aside from being inconvenient, seems a tad unnecessary. Luckily, there's a way to circumvent the limitation, and whether you're rocking Facebook Messenger for Apple's iOS or Google's Android platform, you'll find a fairly simple workaround below.
Wi-Fi networks are literally everywhere. From our homes, to our offices, and heck even in our laundry outlets, we have Wi-Fi networks littered across like a pack of bees going crazy in a flower field. But, while having Wi-Fi around us is all good, but what great does it do when there’s someone hogging all the network’s bandwidth? Don’t you wish you could find that very same guy on the network using a simple app, so you can find a better network for yourself? Of course you can, and it’s as easy as downloading a simple Android app.
If you're into your RPGs, then you'll be pleased to learn that Square Enix has just released Dragon Quest IV for gamers on iOS and Android. As you'd expect from Square-Enix, of Final Fantasy fame, it's a very thorough and immersive title, and below, you can check the details as well as download links.
Last week, Crazy Taxi: City Rush was rolled out to those rocking an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The title, designed specifically for mobile rather than being a port of one of the old classics, has enjoyed a bright start since making its début over at the App Store, and fashionably late, the Android version has just arrived over at the Google Play Store. Details, as well as the download link, can be seen after the fold.
Apart from the myriad of changes that accompanied Android KitKat, one of its highlighting feature was the Google Now Launcher, which had a unique look and feel from all app launchers we’ve seen from Google to date. Granted, it’s a complete stock offering, and its bare minimum features assure that everything is there when needed without being hungry on resources. But why should only KitKat users cherish all the benefits of it? Well that’s about to change, as from today, Google’s app launcher is now compatible with devices running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and up, bringing its support to millions of devices worldwide.
Self-destructible photo messages are nothing new. After all, Snapchat set the ball rolling and then the likes of Facebook and Instagram jumped on for good measure. If you need your photos to go bye-bye automatically, then you're not exactly short of options right now.
Even though we presumed that all of the avenues for a popular IM app had already been explored, the guys at Snapchat had other ideas, and over the past couple of years, particularly among the younger, college-age generations, it has continued to thrive. With Facebook having already made the purchase of Instagram and, more recently, WhatsApp, it's clear that Mark Zuckerberg and his social company wants to flex its considerable clout in this industry and go head-to-head with a new app by the name of Bolt.
With the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, it was inevitable that a title for mobile devices would follow suit, and the accompanying game of the same name as the film has just hit the download channels for iOS and Android.
