Is this the dumbest app ever launched? It seems like it. #PeepleApp

Last year an app called Peeple which is basically an app that anyone can publicly rate anyone else was in the news and it got plenty off attention THE WRONG ATTENTION. But you need to join though which is some relief and to join you need to use your Facebook account and phone number which can give some sense of security but this does not address FAKE accounts and they claim  “Character as a new form of currency.” Well so far that does not seem to be the case on their FACEBOOK account enjoy reading the comments there..

There is not much more that can be said on this really but somehow it has been allowed onto iTunes,why is there a need for such a silly app when we have the likes of LinkedIn where we can all get along peacefully? Peeple is really an app that brings many others together that do the same thing but in the most unrealistic way. Check out the video below.

I you want to download the app you can search for it,It has to be the dumbest app I have ever seen launched.. Peeple now plan to monetize on negativity by introducing a “Truth Licence” which means you pay them and they will let you see whatever people have written about you “Bad or Good”.   Jesus Wept! 

Tell us what you think below.  For now the app is on iOS but due to launch on Android soon…

A new app called “Shorts” Lets others see your camera roll.#Mobile #Apps

Shorts is a new app which allows other look at your images from your camera roll,this is certainly something for the brave folk out there but you can have some control over the app which is comforting to say the least. So this app effectively can allow other people see ALL your images be they good bad or indifferent so you might want to be careful..

People tend to post nice pictures on social media and hide the ugly things,as an example you could have images on your device attempting to take the perfect selfie or whatever the case maybe and like us all we always dont get it right… In the app you have control of who sees what by inviting friends and within the app you can decide to share or hide the image by a simple swipe. Math Camp inc say it was designed to make sharing easy..Of course we can send images via email or via social media but the idea of the app does allow others see a bit more to you than you are prepared to show others elsewhere.

 

It’s pretty magical using Shorts with the people closest to you. Suddenly you go from talking with old friends every few months to feeling like you’re continuously with them — going along on their morning runs, seeing them make dinner in the evenings, and watching them hang out with friends on the weekends. You see the little moments that weren’t published elsewhere and the memories they’re capturing, as they capture them.

The app is only on iOS for now and its said to Arrive on Android soon..

 

Meteor Mobile is introducing a credit limit this month. #Meteor #Bills #Credit

Meteor customers may have got a text recently in regards to a new credit limit that is being introduced this month.This will basically be a service to inform people when their bill is heading for €200 and you will be notified,this is also to alleviate the dreaded bill shock which some people still seem to suffer with.This often happens when people travel or use Wi-Fi at home, stream with data and forget to turn off their data whilst connected to their Wi-Fi, Users on 4G would notice their data is been used up quicker and need to monitor their usage.

Meteor explains how it works..

We’ll send you a text when you have reached 75% of €200* and again at 95% of this amount so you can make a payment by credit card. If you don’t make a payment, we will temporarily suspend your service (in most cases when you reach €200*) so that you can’t incur any more additional charges. However, you will still be able to receive calls and texts and make emergency calls if you need to. If you find that you are regularly going over this amount please contact a member of our team so we can ensure you are on the best plan for you.

You can also monitor your usage with the My Meteor app which can be downloaded below for Android and iOS..

Meteor also explain..

*Please note that the €200 notification amount is subject to change. You may also incur charges for out of tariff usage that may not be captured at the time of SMS notification. If you have any other queries please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

If you do not like genetically modified foods, Shop GMO-Free app is here. #Apps #Food #GMO

Most of us like to live and eat healthy but when it comes to food perhaps lots of us are not so cautious as to what we eat or know exactly what we are eating.. GMOs is the subject of this app which defines what foods contain genetically modified organisms.The fact that foods contains GMOs would not be an issue for some people and a big issue for others..This app is here to help the latter..Genetically modified foods tend to be cheaper but there is a catch here.This app is the first of its kind in the UK but we ourselves here in Ireland can use it for reference too having looked at some of the product on it which amounts to over 10,000 products in total.The app was developed boy John Board and James Hodgkiss

Shop GMO- Free explain this term GMO for those who might not be aware.

Genetically modified foods are produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA, using methods of genetic engineering.
These techniques have allowed for the introduction of new biological traits in the food, as well as a far greater influence over a food’s genetic structure than was previously the case by traditional selective breeding.

 

The basic app is free and includes these features:

Unlimited searches – Unrestricted searching of our product database (over 10,000 products) to instantly find which products are GM-free and which are not.
Tell the manufacturer – Conveniently let the food manufacturer know what you think about the GM status of their products. You’re just a tap away from contacting them by telephone, email or via their own contact page.
Tell the world – Share with the world the GM status of any product. Via facebook, twitter, google+, SMS or email, you can conveniently show friends about which products to stay away from and which are safe.
Tell us – Get in touch with us via the app with any product data queries/requests, technical issues or new feature requests.
Shopping list – Compile a shopping list of your favourite products. (One shopping list, limited to 15 products.)
Why GMO-Free? – General information on the dangers of consuming GM.

There is also a paid version of the app which allows some more listed below..

Adrypht – An app designed for passing time that will have you hooked. #Android #Apps #Gaming

Irish Man Dave Connolly who is based in East Galway has created a new app that was designed to pass a few minutes when you are at a loose end or perhaps sitting in a que or waiting on a bus for example..Dave whom is a programmer by trade decided to create the app and its also his hobby and runs a one man show called www.menounco.com  

Dave tells us a little more about himself and the app.

Adrypht was designed to be ten minutes of distraction. The kind of game you pick up, play for a while and then put down again. The idea of drifting through space was supposed to be relaxing for the players.
I work on the menounco projects in my spare time, which I don’t have a lot of (work, kids, etc.), so updates can be quite slow. Work has already begun on Adrypht 2 and I have a number of other new apps planned, but there is no release schedule. They’ll be done when they’re done. If/when I get more spare time, menounco also has a few non-game projects planned for mobile and desktop.
Dave also tells us that the ISS Pinecone featured in Adrypht is the “Irish Space Ship Pinecone”, and was named by his 4-year-old daughter.
The idea of the game is simple and straight forward with as simple menu structure and there is some nice music with the gameplay itself too,Your task in the game is to guide the ship home using gravitational pull of the Asteroids by tapping the screen,,Sounds simple?? Check it out below right now for free. Dave also tells us that the plan is for all menounco apps to be free, ad-free and without in-app purchases which will be more than welcome for users.
