StayGo is an app that uses Social Media and Science for relationships. #Dating

A reader sent this app in today and its a new app that uses social media and algorithms to decide if your relationship will last,Like any other dating app you will need to throw in some information answer a 100 questions and let the app do the rest for you. Personally I think this is a pile of rubbish and the same time it could be good and letting an app decide my future is a long way off yet from reality and again the person putting in the right information is another reason why this wont work 100,We have seen many instances before on other dating apps where things can go really wrong..Perhaps though I could be wrong but let time tell and see shall we…But then ask yourself do you need an app to decide if your relationship will last?

Watch the video below first of all..

Lost or found a pet in Ireland? Try Lost & Found Pets Ireland app. #Apps #Pets

Owning a pet is for life,this is one thing we often hear especially coming up to Christmas we hear this message for the obvious reason but it is not only this time of year when people get new pets,nor is it restricted to any age either. Having got your new pet you should cherish it and and adore it which most of us do but there is always the risk of a pet such as a cat or a dog escaping which is bound to happen and it can lead the owners in some distress too. Happened to me once years ago when I was a kid and my pet rabbit escaped and that was the last I seen of it..

Back then there was no apps,no social media and just the humble phone but not so many ways to contact people like you can today particularly with social media,it is one way to spread news fast and the general public can also help too which is great.

Lost & Found Pets Ireland app is here to help should that unfortunate moment arrive where you can search listings in your area using geolocation services on your mobile phone..

 

App description 

On the pet details tab, you can view all the details for that particlar pet as well as a photo if one is available. You can expand this photo to fullscreen by clicking on the little expander button at the top right of the photo.

The contact tab provides the contact name of the person who posted the listing as well as buttons to allow you to easily directly call that contact, pre-populating your dialer with their number, email them via a simple form or send them an SMS which we also pre-populate for you – all you have to do is add your own personal message.

The sharing tab features a single button which launches the standard Android sharing dialogue from which you can choose an app (email, Facebook, Twitter or Google+ etc) to share a listing with family, friends or colleagues.

Finally, the app features facilities to send us feedback via another simple form and to share the app with others – obviously, the more phones we are on, the more chance we have of getting pets reunited.

Autoaddress app helps you find Eircodes. #Eircode #Transport #Maps

Eircode has got a bad reception,Just like Irish Water it was thrown out there and caused  problems and today with Eircode people still reject the idea. Moving on from the obvious Eircode will be always an issue for some and for how I feel about it, well I see it from both sides,but leaning towards on the spend amount as a huge negative particularity with the public and I tend to agree on that sentiment. Being in the logistics business it is handy and times as is the standalone mapping apps such as HERE or Google and from testing mapping apps for many years it should be welcomed in the longterm given the amount spent which was by no means little…As I have mentioned the topic is of interest to me but only from the technical standpoint and to see how well this actually performs..

For someone who has  used maps over the years I still prefer to have a choice at hand such as HERE or Google,generally I use nothing else bar when testing,often the case those in testing are removed due to the lack of info and so on..Now with the likes of this app available there is choice for the consumer and choice is good,how the app performs after that is up to the people behind it..In my travel folder I have several apps that I use which are pictured below..

 

 

This app is good,there is several alternatives out there such as Loc8/Point8 and you can use the standalone eircode homepage on your phone or tab and pin it to the homescreen,But we want apps these days and bookmarks dont cut it for the majority..

What is Autoaddress?

Autoaddress App is the easiest way to find Eircodes and share precise address location with anyone in Ireland. Completely free to use, this app is the solution for delivery drivers, sales people, service engineers and the general public to accurately locate properties and get directions using Eircode.

Delivery Driver Features

Get accurate directions to difficult to find addresses with Eircode.  Save your deliveries in the Autoaddress App, store contact phone numbers and other useful information. The app optimises your route by arranging your deliveries in the most efficient order. You can record your successful delivery (or if you were unable to deliver) saving the time of day and distance from the delivery location for verification. Get a Delivery Zone BETA code for each address that allows you to manually sort items and load your van.

Sat navs that sent you to the wrong entrance 

Your Eircode points at your building, but sometimes navigation apps can choose the wrong street/entrance to navigate to, causing delays and unnecessary phone calls for directions.  If this issue affects your address simply report it and we’ll ensure everyone entering your Eircode in our app is directed to the correct access location, no matter what Navigation app they use.

You can read more about Autoaddress here and download the apps below in their respective stores should you want to try it..

InstaAnalyzer App hacks your @instagram account. #Warning #Instagram @iTunes

UPDATE. Apple removed the app since we reported..
This has been sent in to us just now and we have also been tagged in an account by one of our followers ,The App InstaAnalyzer is prowling accounts right now directing you to an app that will just hack your account,even the links within the app are bogey and dish up warnings so if you get tagged just ignore and report and block,this may be going around some time but I have not seen it personally but to be tagged in it from one of my followers is enough to warrant a warning to users,looking at the app description too suggests its a threat yet its still in the app store.. If you hand over your criteria to the said app you will need to change it,delete the app and then change your own password on the official app again to be safe.Tempting as these apps may seem they are not real and never will be..

 

TravTab – Organising payment for your holiday bookings with an app. #Irish #Travel

Booking your holidays is always fun,Checking brochures or looking on the web and so on,The next bit can be tedious which is paying for it.Most of the time people pay a small deposit or lump sum and some perhaps pay outright there an then,the latter being in the minority. So after that is where the annoying bit comes in when you have to go back and drop off more money and most likely sit in a que and then sit at a table waiting for all the info to be noted and so on,TravTab eliminates all of the above and is coming soon to Irish Travel agents and then internationally..One great feature here with this app is the “Group Bookings” feature which a lead passenger has the ability to add members and assign each member their outstanding balance and users get notified when payments have been made,this idea will also make it more streamlined for the travel agent itself too…

Alan Masterson CEO and Founder tells us some more..

My name is Alan Masterson I am the founder of TravTab. I began working on TravTab since last July when I booked a holiday. Soon after I was in work and literally had a light bulb moment, which I was listening for some years to happen as iv always wanted to start my own business.

With this idea, that day, after work I went home and plotted the idea out on paper with the help of my father and proved it was a viable business idea. From there I contacted LEO and applied for a mentor. I’ve been mentored since August up until last month which was priceless to me. My mentor was exceptional and went above and beyond the normal mentoring criteria which I learned and grew in so many ways in such a small space of time. 

During the past 7-8 months from having an “idea”, I have developed TravTab from scratch. From sourcing web developers, accountants, applying for trademarks, setting up bank accounts, creating the company name, finding a mentor, identifying potential customers, finding how to monetise the business, going part time in the day job it’s been a crazy few months but the best few to be honest.
TravTab is fully funded and bootstrapped by itself.
 TravTab is run by myself and the now COO Darren Murray who joined in March of this year. TravTab has a fully functional mobile App operating on both iOS & Android along with a webpage page profiling TravTabs service. 

We are currently pursuing sales leads and are in talks with travel agents to launch TravTab. We are very excited about TravTabs future!
