Selfies are hugely popular in Ireland and to be fair worldwide,They can be annoying for some but overall people generally love them and even sport selfie sticks to enhance that special image,so why not capitalise on a growing trend? Well this app aims to do so by creating awareness of safety which is a great idea and perhaps other countries could follow suit. The app will give people some knowledge of where to find safety equipment in their locale and all communities should get involved,this could save lives which is important.
How it works.
The Save a Selfie app has been designed and developed to help members of the public pinpoint the location of emergency equipment in their local community.
They need your help! Do you know the location of your nearest AED? First Aid Kit? Life-Ring? or Fire Hydrant? Why not help us by taking a selfie with it? – or if you’re shy a photo will do!
You can upload photos of emergency devices along with their locations to the interactive map.
Use filter options to find the devices you need.
Find where emergency devices are located in your area.
This application was developed in conjunction with Code for Ireland, Order of Malta Ambulance Ireland & the Dublin Fire Brigade.
There is apps for almost anything these days and when it comes to social media apps we have plenty,probably too much some might say but it aint going to stop anytime soon with more apps already in Beta and to what is already available now.This app is somewhat different and it is basically a social media app for those bookworms out there,Litsy is an app where you can join up post reviews,comment and search what others have in the community..Also in the app you can use the “Litfluence” scoring system which will make your profile stand out..
Description
The Litsy community is a groundswell of passionate readers, authors and influencers creating short posts about their “reading moments.” These posts are made of blurbs, photos, quotes and reviews, and each post is linked to one book.
Since enjoying a book has no end, Litsy is 100% mobile and allows you to capture whatever bookish thoughts you have, whenever you have them. Litsy also makes it easy to “go down the rabbit hole,” browsing your feed while on the go. When you find your next book, it’s easy to add it to your stack for future reading.
Social Media is a powerful tool and there is plenty of apps now to communicate with others worldwide,the social aspect though is moving to particular interests now rather than sticking to the usual mainstream which allows people with the same interests hop on and stick to that topic at hand, Instagram for example is for taking pictures which now seems to be more of food than being social and snapping nice pictures and sharing them,its gone off on a tangent which annoys many and people post what they have for breakfast ,dinner and tea. This app called Brapp is one of the newer social apps that are topic at hand only,in this case its music.
Brapp is a social platform that puts a powerful studio in your pocket. Producers can upload beats and anyone can record a 1 minute video on top, mix down the audio with powerful studio effects, add video filters and instantly share with their followers.
CEO-Co Founder Niki Mukhi..
Niki’s focus is on the overall vision for Brapp, developing new features enabling people to discover, collaborate and connect globally.Niki has worked as a guitarist, MD and composer performing in over 50 cities worldwide. In 2011 he started creating concepts focused on bringing people together though our universal languages (primarily music). In 2014, whilst developing a writing tool for musicians he put together the concept and team for Brapp.
Artists and music lovers in over 80 countries are using Brapp to:
⁃ Upload their beats
⁃ Record videos on beats by producers around the world
⁃ Mix their recordings with the free and powerful audio effects (EQ, Pump, Delay and Reverb)
⁃ Enhance videos with built in video filters
⁃ Share videos and beats on and off Brapp
⁃ Discover, connect and keep up with new musical collaborations as they happen.
The Tattoo,Some like them some hate them and some think that people that sport them are not part of modern society and make you look dirty,Yes there is still a taboo with the subject along with many other things today. Anyway even if you dont have a tattoo and considered getting one this is the place to go and see what it looks like before you even hit the tattoo artist..The app is on iOS only for now but it is coming to Android and Windows Phone..The app actually uses augmented reality and is in real time so its pretty cool indeed. Say hello to Ink Hunter
The app simply works by using your mobile phones camera and you then scan the desired area you wish to have your tattoo placed,This is then when the AR comes into effect and it will relay the image back to your device and that is all there is too it.You can pick designs or chose your own too which is good rather than been left with specific templates.
App features
You can try on your own tattoo or choose one from the gallery.
– Observe your tattooed body from different angles!
– Take nice shot and make it looks like real in advanced editor.
Lets be frankly honest here,when it comes to local apps here in Ireland for Windows Phone it sucks,It cant be denied end of story,with plenty of apps for Android and iOS there is a rare sight of a Windows Phone app to match to the numbers, Alongside the ignorance from the companies themselves alongside the media with little or no coverage of apps it has been a downhill battle for the last few years and market share now proves this,I personally have given up constantly asking companies due the same repeated scripted responses when we all knew they would not bother their backside with Windows Phone apps,The most common saying was “We do not have any plans to make this app for Windows Phone” This in turn has made people jump ship,the banking sector and airlines in particular where users can use their devices to make life easier,it just never happened and probably never will..
Today there is some good news from a third party dev called Thierry Fierenswho has developed an app for the Irish people,and its people like him that give Windows Phone users some hope and perhaps cling onto the platform a bit longer,the app is called Entertainment.ie TV (Unofficial)
Thierry tells us he was fed up not being able to check this on my phone. Then i thought, I’m always on my laptop or tablet, so why not make an app that works on all 3.

Having went through the app it looks well,performs well and does everything that is required which makes it a noce job indeed an its nice to see..
This is probably going a bit too far but nonetheless its here and it aint cheap and if you do be stupid enough to buy one there is something wrong and not only that people do sleep in other places too unless the makers are confined to the bedroom? Internetofshit has found a good one here, Say hello to the Smarttress complete with 24 sensors to detect suspicious activity.. Yep and it is only going to cost you about a 1500 EURO, Have we not heard of hotels lads?
It simply works by sending alerts to your mobile phone via an app thats on Android and iOS and even at that anyone could be on the bed such as your pet or a child for example,I actually think this is some kind of joke to see what traction they get out of it,if its not it will fail miserably. There is such things in life as trust and private detectives if you feel the need for one but this just takes the piss..
There is alot of talk about a mission to Mars and for humans to settle,this will not happen anytime soon but until then you can take a look a what is going on on Mars with the fantastic app,If you are into what is going on in space this new app is for you which is called Hello Mars created by Lockheed Martin.

Instagram is very popular worldwide for sharing images albeit lots of those images be of food,but there is plenty of us who upload the nicer things in life such as holiday snaps family and more,Clothes is one other thing that is hugely popular with plenty of brands showing off what they have and we will often spot something in our timeline that stands out and looks nice then we want to know some more about it and ask questions,this would not only apply to the average Joe soap but celebs too post images of clothing and of course get paid to do it..
