Maintaining a healthy diet is difficult. We all work long hours and it can often be difficult to find the time to prepare healthy meals in the evenings and on the weekends. These apps will hopefully make healthy eating a little bit easier for people. Most of them are free and they get great reviews. For example, a free app call MealBoard, makes recommendations for healthy meals based off leftovers.

Hostelworld, the largest online hostel-booking platform sparking social experiences, launches an extension to its iOS and Android app – allowing users to instantly translate between up to 43 languages in a fun and engaging way.
Utilising Google Cloud Translate software, the ‘Speak the World’ translator makes the Hostelworld app not only to enable travellers to book over 35,000 hostels, but also speak fluently in 43 languages. It helps travellers to go even further off the beaten track and fully immerse themselves in the local culture by eliminating language barriers.
Speak the World will feature 43 languages including Bengali, English, French, Hindi, Japanese, Romanian, Spanish, and Thai[i]. Available on iOS and Android, the app allows global travellers to overcome language barriers in real time.
With just a few simple taps the translator is ready to go; simply speak into the device’s microphone and wait for your words to be translated. The feature will then listen to the response and translate that back to you, and so on. In addition, the device’s screen can be set to show a comedic mouth and lips that move with the words, providing the ultimate icebreaker when meeting new people.
Powering this development is Google Cloud Translate’s neural machine translation, which by utilising state-of-the-art training techniques has achieved the largest improvements to date for machine translation quality.
Breffni Horgan, Head of Product at Hostelworld, said: “The Hostelworld app already allows people to find and instantly book quality affordable accommodation with personalised itineraries showcasing the best things to do whilst travelling. With the launch of ‘Speak the World’ the app will now empower travellers to go even further off the beaten track and more fully immerse themselves in local culture. Our amazing selection of more than 35,000 hostels has already helped young travellers get over the cost barrier, and now with the help of new technology we’re helping them tackle the language barrier in a fun way, too.”
Antivirus mobile apps are here, and they aren’t who they purport to be.
RiskIQ today reveals it has identified hundreds of malicious antivirus apps, capitalising on ransomware fears and putting users at risk.
Using RiskIQ’s mobile database, hundreds of examples of apps that claimed to help defend mobile phones were found to be preying on unsuspecting users by pushing adware, trojans, and other malware.
Using a title search for “Antivirus” resulted in 6,295 total apps, past and present, claiming to either be an antivirus solution, review antivirus solutions or be associated with antivirus software in some way. More than 700 of these apps triggered blacklist detections from the aggregated antivirus vendors in VirusTotal. Trimming the dataset to compare apps only coming from the Google Play store showed 655 results. Of those, 131 had triggered blacklist detections.
With millions of apps all competing for attention on the relevant stores, it takes something special to conjure an app that will force its way to the forefront of people’s minds. Whether it’s spotting a clever niche with bags of potential, or creating an app so outstanding that it blows away competing apps quality-wise, you’ll need to set up your app in such a way that it won’t just became another fish in an already-crowded sea. This visual asset pinpoints the essential do’s and don’ts of app creation – because one wrong move could leave you with an expensive dud.
Colm Stafford – Managing Director of an ITsolutions company in Ireland called ERS IT Solutions Ltd, enjoys keeping up to date with content relating to the IT industry and has produced this visual asset outlining all the key information that anyone considering app creation should know before they dive in head-first.
Instagram represents a mobile photography application, first released in 2010, and then purchased by Facebook for $1 billion in cash and stocks, back in 2012. During its years of service, the photo sharing social media app has managed to become incredibly popular for both consumers and advertisers, boasting over 700 million members in total.
In a recent graphic compiled and sent to us by website builder.orga total of 139 must-know facts about the platform were released, to guide those who are interested in learning more about the platform through some of the tips they must know to become successful, while also sharing a few case studies, meant to put things a bit better into perspective.
While Instagram is half the size of Facebook, it is important to note the fact that it serves a different purpose, while Facebook isn’t really niche-based and represents an all-in-all stop. With this in mind, on Instagram, users are free to post photos and videos of themselves or anything else really, comment on other people’s posts, share live videos, use its direct messaging feature and more. One of the greatest things to know about Instagram is that the platform has become a great hub for advertisers and marketers throughout the world, due to the fact that most pages are organically-grown in terms of traffic, due to the nature of the platform.
A couple of stats mentioned in the infographic showcase that so far, 31% of female internet users have an Instagram account, followed by 21% of makes. Not only this, but it is also important to point out the fact that so far, 32% of internet users that live in urban areas have an account on the platform, whereas 28% of those living in suburban areas use it as well.
At this moment in time, Instagram is actively processing over 4.2 billion likes per day, with more than 95 million videos and photos being shared on a daily basis. So far, it has been pointed that around 40 billion apps and videos have been shared onto Instagram.
Based on these aspects, Instagram’s massive popularity is understandable, and all marketers should at least consider the idea of running social media campaigns on the Facebook-owned platform.

The Low Carb Program from award-winning diabetes community Diabetes.co.uk is now free to download on both mobile and tablet. Over 200,000 people have already joined the program, all wanting to take their first steps towards type 2 diabetes remission. This community includes success stories such as Mark who lost 50kg and Stella who lost 35kg. On average, weight loss is 7kg per person who completes the program – with some people losing 10% of their body weight in just over 10 weeks!
An analysis of results from the Low Carb Progam have been impressive:
74% of people who have completed the 10-week program have seen an improvement in blood glucose levels
78% are motivated to maintain the changes they have made
59% have an improved outlook on life
96% of people would recommend the program
65% of users who completed the program reported that their HbA1c has improved
This is further supported with 66% of people stating their blood glucose levels after meals has improved, 64% stating their fasting blood glucose levels have improved.
The ten-week Low Carb Program http://www.diabetes.co.uk/lowcarb allows access to a whole world of low carb information that will help turn your life and health around. It is based on achievable, sustainable lifestyle changes that improve health and includes video lessons, daily updated content and the opportunity to ask questions to 200,000 others. This is experience-led lifestyle, rather than a quick fix ‘diet’ and offers support, tips, and downloads guiding users through as they make gradual steps to improving their health, losing weight and in some cases coming off medication altogether (on signing up, people are taking on average 2 medications, on finishing the program 1 in 5 people come off medication altogether).
Diabetes.co.uk was the first ever global digital community for diabetes. Medical evidence continues to grow that type 2 diabetes can be placed into remission through diet and lifestyle changes. Dr David Unwin, a Southport based GP discovered the diabetes forum a few years ago after and has since published evidence of low-carb diet benefits in his BMJ paper entitled Low carbohydrate diet to achieve weight loss and improve HbA1c in type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes: experience from one general practice. It has been reported that Dr Unwin saves his practice approximately £40,000 a year on drugs for diabetes as a result of his low carbohydrate pilot study.
Arjun Panesar, co-founder and CEO of the UK’s largest and fastest growing diabetes patient forum http://www.diabetes.co.uk said ‘The results from our Low Carb Program have been impressive and this a solution that is clearly working for people with type 2 diabetes. We’re documenting the preliminary results with healthcare savings. Once that has been created, we intend to share this with PHE/Diabetes UK for them to review the guidelines.’
Features of the Program include a constantly updated Lifestyle magazine to keep you up to date and give you handy recipes, Simple ‘Action Points’ at the end of each lesson so you know exactly how to progress and the opportunity to track your progress and personalise your profile. The week-by-week modules are as follows:
Week 1 – Introduction
Week 2 – Type 2 and Diet
Week 3 – Eating Fewer Carbs
Week 4 – Real vs Processed Foods
Week 5 – Healthy and Unhealthy Fats
Week 6 – Vegetables
Week 7 – Portion Sizes
Week 8 – Snacks and Desserts
Week 9 – Reducing Carbs Further
