Masquerade – A face swapping app thats addictive,Facebook Just bought it. #MSQRD

I’ve have used some similar face swap apps over the last year,However I just came upon this app called MSQRD or Masquerade which is on Android and iOS and its pretty cool and fun too..

Facebook have recently acquired this app to keep up with the times and this app can be used to create videos and use other faces on your own,the video aspect though is quite cool which then you can share to social media when done..The app is simple to use which is similar to snap chat Once turned on there will be an indicator on screen to help you place your mush in the best position.. and all you need to do is use your front facing camera and either take a snap or video,There is two icons to pick from at the bottom of of your screen,The app also allows you to use your rear camera so you can catch your mates and have some fun without them knowing. The app would suit those who like selfies and want something more than the norm..The app is a little short on selection but they said they are improving the app.. We have done a sample on our new Facebook Page,come say hi there too..

Eugene Nevgen CEO of MSQRD said..

Video communication is exploding. At Masquerade, we’ve worked hard to make video more fun and engaging by creating filters that enhance and alter your appearance. Now, we’re excited to join forces with Facebook and bring the technology to even more people. Within Facebook, we’re going to be able to reach people at a scale like never before. For starters, we’ll be able to bring our technology to Facebook’s audience of nearly 1.6 billion people. This is a scale of audience we never imagined was possible.

The Samsung S7 and S7 Edge are the latest flagships to hit our shores and they are quite nice,A incremental upgrade if you will would be a good term on how they fit in the Galaxy Portfolio but there is lots to like this time round,if you have not seen one yet they have been on display the last week or so and there is now plenty of demo units in stores for all to see if you fancy picking one of these bad boys up when they go on sale this week,those who pre-ordered the device probably have it by now and I am sure they are enjoying the latest instalment from Samsung.

The devices themselves have slightly changed from the old S6 family and for the better,with some design language of old and new,With the rounded backs and the Micro Sd card slot back,IP68 waterproof rating,new improved camera which tackles low light photography,Marshmallow out of the box there is plenty to enjoy and a bigger battery. Also to note VR,It is going to be big this year and there was some deals floating about with either a free VR headset or subsidised one if you have not tried it out yet you need to..

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.
