Apps – POZ is a dating app for the HIV community. #HIV #LGBT #POZ #Dating

Dating apps are quite common now with dating apps for all sorts not to be taken in the wrong context either but we now even have dating apps for people at Airport lounges and much much more.. As it stands dating apps are still troublesome for some people whilst some think they are find,its just a matter of being cautious and be careful what you post and cross check when possible on who you talk to.. Safety First.

POZ is available now on both Android and iPhone and its free… The app was created by Andrew Goyvaerts

In an interview with Attitude here is a brief outline of how the app came about.

So what is POZ and how did it come about?

It was only launched in March but it’s a concept I came up with about two years ago. There were a few things that I found with mainstream dating apps that complicated things: One was coming out of the ‘HIV closet’, which I think a lot of gay men battle with, and the second was rejection on those sites.

Obviously that’s a personal choice, but when somebody is saying they would rather not go out with you because of something like HIV, it’s quite different to being told they don’t want to go out with you because they’re not into you. It’s a very different feeling, and I felt there was a real need for this [app]. We are worldwide. We’ve had a lot of downloads in the UK, Australia and America, which seem to be our main areas, so that’s where we’re mainly focused on.

 

 

App description

poz is a new app proudly serving the dating needs of the HIV community (both heterosexual and LGBT). This concept was created by a positive person follow their own diagnoses due to there being so few places that we can meet someone to date without fear of stigma or even rejection upon disclosure of status.

Signing up takes just a tick after which you can browse, chat and meet men or women who know exactly what it’s like to date when living with HIV.

 

#BipolarMe – First of its kind app for Windows and UWP by the @TheWinPhan #BiPolar

BipolarMe for Windows is a result of my wife being diagnosed as Bipolar 1 nearly 5 years ago. We found it hard to get reliable/accurate information online about the mood disorder and equally as hard to find an app that would be considered helpful. In the process, I built a website for my wife to chronicle her experience with Bipolar Disorder in a blog format. I then extended the focus of the site to include the vast amount of knowledge and resources we accumulated during our search for answers, into an easy to understand, well organized, and wide ranging full featured website.

 

 

The app is a reflection of the website BipolarMe hosting my wife’s blog. You’ll get full length articles and a viewable comment line, in addition to a plethora of informative resources like a FAQ Center and Learning Center, and other more “entertaining” type features as well. You’ll find recipes for mental health, a full video center broken into categories like “Learning Bipolar” or “Bipolar On TV and Film”, lots of galleries(both informative and entertaining), a dictionary, an offline pill identifier, the ability to connect with a very active Bipolar Online Community, and so much more.

 

 

This is app is 100% free with no advertisements. The hope and goal I have for BipolarMe, is for people to find the help or answers they are in search of. I love developing for the Windows ecosystem and hope you enjoy the app as much as I enjoyed building it. I’m working on an update now and have many more planned, I’d love any feedback on improvements or features you’d like to see. Just tag me, @TheWinPhan, in a tweet on Twitter.

You can now find a date at the airport with #btrflylounge #Dates #Airports #Travel

Tinder has been around a good while now and plenty of other apps have come off its back since bringing dating to a new level and in fact making it easier to hook up with people than ever before which could be worrying for some.

Might sound a bit on the creepy side for some but often the case we can be sat in the airport bored out of our heads with nothing to do but either look in shops,drinks beer ,bury our heads in our phones,gaze at aeroplanes or perhaps the opposite sex passing by,this app comes in to the latter…You can find a date,perhaps even a partner to sit beside on the plane to make the journey more interesting and less boring as long flights can be… Regular plane hoppers might even know people in their travels and this is another way you could hook up too and spice up that flight…. Welcome to btrflylounge  

 

 

 

Like most people, we were tired of sitting around lifeless airport terminals, watching the seconds tick past before and during each flight. We wanted to transform air travel into a valuable opportunity to make new friends and business contacts.

We built btrfly to connect with those who feel the same way – and it’s grown into a lounge where air travelers can truly make the most of their travel experiences. Btrfly team serves you from 2 locations in Canada and United Kingdom.

Control your text messages with On Second Thought SMS app. #SMS #Text #Tech

SMS is a huge form of communication and has been for years and we use them to do everything,literally everything..However the thing is SMS or the humble text as we know is dying year on year and has been for a few years now with thanks to messaging apps like Viber or WhatsApp and now we have Facebook Messenger and so on. We also use social media to communicate via DM on Twitter is another way to communicate,then of course we have the traditional email or phone call available to us.. Fear not the SMS will be around for a long time to come as we have to consider the demographic here and who uses this form of communication..

On Second Thought which is now on Android and iOS in the works reminds me of the other app “Unsend It” so here once again we see choice.Choice is what the consumer wants and apparently get these days… These apps would be now more useful than ever and what is good here you can stop something you say thats really bad before it happens,especailly when one has had a few beverages on the weekend which is when we tend to a bit more honest than midweek… Unlike social media when we do say things we can delete but if someone gets that screenshot………You have been caught…..

 

On Second Thought has the following features to offer though…

  • Send and receive SMS and MMS messages
  • Undo and/or edit messages before they get to the recipient’s phone
  • Curfew
  • Group Messaging
  • Send Photos
  • Automatic sync of contacts
  • Automatic sync existing conversations

 

 

We understand, mistakes happen. Whether we’ve accidentally sent our boss a message meant for our spouse, or auto-correct has made us look like a jerk, we’ve all been there. With On Second Thought we can undo those mistakes before anyone knows we’ve made them. All you have to do is swipe your message left or right within moments after hitting “Send.”

See On Second Thought where you can sign up for notification on iOS or download on Android below…

 

Twitter – Check out Flamingo a new Twitter experience #Twitter #Social #Android

There is plenty of Twitter apps today we can all pick from which come from free or we can pick from paid offerings. For the majority of us the freemium model is what we seek,You can pay for premium too but even at that it does not cut it,The official twitter for Android is very inconsistent for me and Im often chopping and changing to find one that delivers,Tweetings is a good app and delivers notifications all the time where as the official Twitter app which gets updated regularly seems to bring problems all the time,for me its notifications,I hardly get them and have to check and with the official app trying to enhance features it needs to take on board to its core users opinions and perhaps implement some of them..

Flamingo is a new app with a not so desirable logo but its quite nice and its fast and offers the average user what they need,for power users it might not suit just yet but the reviews are looking good and so far on trying it out it works well,not only that it looks well too,it costs money which wont be for some as we all expect everything for free but this is a nice app and you can try it and get a refund…,Customising your app experience is something people want today and with this app there is plenty on offer.

 

App description

The app is pencilled in as a Beta but its a good one.. Download below for €1.59
