ReLaunch (Android) - A Super-fast App Launcher Overlay

Smart Screen and Screen Off & Lock (Android) - Two excellent apps for controlling your phone's sleep mode

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Sun, 05 May 2013 06:53:06 PDT

I'm doing something a little different here by posting on two apps at once, but I think you'll see why these two fit together so well.

First is Smart Screen Off Lite, which solved a problem for me. Keeping your phone close to hand is a must nowadays, but when certain types of notifications cause your screen to wake up, you don't want them to wake you, too. The light coming from the screen can disturb sleep even if it doesn't wake you completely. This app uses your phone's proximity sensor to turn your screen off and keep it off. So it's easy to turn on the app and put your phone face down to keep the screen from waking.

Second is Screen Off and Lock. This one solves the problem of having to press the power button on your phone when you want to turn off the screen and lock it. Instead, you add the app widget to your home screen. One tap of the widget turns off the screen and locks the phone. Simple and easy.

Check out the video to see both in action!

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 05:38:02 PDT

Some apps are so promising that people will get in line to get them. This is one of those apps. Taking your calendar and scheduling powers to a new level, the app brings together your emails, contacts, maps, documents and more to intelligently fill in the details as you need them. And it grows in smarts the more you use it.

The wait list has been accommodated to the point that you can be up and running in no time.

Developer Quote: "Tempo is like having your own personal assistant prepare you for what’s next.

Data Counter (iPhone) - Track your data and wifi usage

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:11:07 PDT

Remember when "unlimited data" meant you could use all the data you wanted? Today it means you can use up to a limited amount and if you go over we'll throttle the heck out of your bandwidth so you think you've time-traveled back to 2G!

What's worse, many of us don't want to spring for even that definition of unlimited, so we have to stay within the limit we bought or face ridiculous charges for the amount we go over. Geez.

So the bottom line is that we have to keep track of the data we're using. Hence this app for only 99 cents (for a limited time), which is a bargain if it saves you the monetary pain of excess use charges.

Developer Quote: "Avoid overage charges and take control of your data plan. Data Counter is the most powerful and immediate means of verifying your internet volume usage, compatible with all providers in the world!"

Features:

∙ Universal
Data Counter works with all providers as it recovers the necessary information straight from the device, not from the mobile portal.
It supports daily, weekly, monthly and bimonthly plans.

∙ Fast
Set up your plan and launch the app to see your cellular data usage and Wifi. Compatible with 3G and LTE networks.

∙ Functional
No connection necessary. The program can be used even when you're not connected to the network since it doesn't need any information from the internet. This saves data that would have been used to get the information from the mobile portal (a few megabytes).

∙ Up-to-date
Mobile provider portals are not updated in real time. Data Counter, using the data info generated from the device, is always precise and up-to-date.

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 04:19:58 PDT

Developer Quote: "Nexus 4 Dot Live Wallpaper is inspired by new Nexus 4 back glass cover with abstract dots."

People have very different tastes in smartphone wallpaper. I consider my own taste to be refined and generally awesome, but don't we all? Anyway, if you like busy, multi-colored backgrounds, this one may not be for you. However, if you enjoy a more subtle approach and less splashy colors, and if you like animations that don't slap you in the face, check out this one.

Merge + (Android) - Easily Merge Duplicate Contacts

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 12:39:13 PDT

One thing Android doesn't do as well as we'd like is keep your contacts clean. Not talking about the ones you put in your eyes, but people for whom you have phone numbers, email addresses and so on and so forth and what have you. These can get messy when you've added some from your Gmail contacts on your PC and others from your phone, etc. This was a problem I faced recently. Not terribly debilitating, certainly, but annoying nonetheless.

So I turned to Merge + and bim bam boom, my contacts are no longer a mess, since they've been merged with Merge +.

Developer Quote: "Merge+ helps you easily find & merge duplicate contacts. With Merge+, you can join duplicate contacts in your Android phone & Tablet with only three clicks: LAUNCH Merge+ to find duplicate contacts; REVIEW merge suggestions and mark who to merge; MERGE your selected duplicate contacts."

HTML Mail (Internet Tools)

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 06:02:36 PDT

Developer Quote: "Compose rich-text HTML mails (with inline images and tables) and send them to anyone with a click. Your messages will look the same across all email clients."

Plain text emails have their place, I'll admit, but there are times when they just won't do. Can we all agree on this? Good. So, when you want to jazz up (what a dated expression!) your emails, check out this web tool. It's got a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor so you can avoid the coding, but you can also easily switch to HTML view to fiddle with the coding yourself. A very useful tool. Check it out!

Audials 10 - Moviebox and Tunebite

noreply@blogger.com (Barry Mahfood) — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 04:28:39 PST

Developer Quote: "Find, record, download, convert and enjoy music, films, videos and Internet radios everywhere."

Every great product solves a real problem. So here's the problem: You have media, both audio and video, coming at you in a mind-blowing multitude of formats and through a confusing abundance of means, and none of them play nice with each other. You watch streaming movies through your browser on your PC that you can't save or back up. You listen to music that you've bought and downloaded through a proprietary piece of software that you can't play on any other device. You have movies and music scattered among various devices and on different types of media, so that you have no idea where anything is. Audials solves all of it.

Two amazing Audials products that have recently been massively updated to generation 10, Tunebites and Moviebox, are featured in this post. Between them they can solve all your digital music and movie problems.

First, Tunebite. This amazing application records music or any kind of audio, without any loss in quality, and saves it as new files in any digital audio format, whether you are streaming it or downloading it from any subscription service.

Clicking on Audio/Music Recording gives you these options:

The second application is called Moviebox.

Recording streaming video is simple. There are 3 choices offered by the application:

As seen below, you can choose to record and save only the videos you pick; all streamed videos, or record and save from your screen, which will work even when the previous methods don't for whatever reason.

I love it when software is backed up by a great website with solid and helpful information. One of the nicest features on the Audials website is called Audials in 120 Seconds. Tutorials that are only 2 minutes long, with the tips and information you actually need, these short clips will get you using these applications like a pro in less time than it takes you to say anything that would take more than 2 minutes to say. Two examples:

Audials in 120 Seconds - Record Audio Streaming Services

Audials in 120 Seconds - Record Video Streaming Services

With all your media accessible from Audials, you can organize, backup and playback your media at any time. As an added bonus, you can save your media to cloud storage services for playback on the go, and you can install the Audials - Radio + Music Sync app on your Android or Windows 8 smartphone.
