Instagram have now improved direct messaging on the platform which might be good news for some,for me its a pointless idea unless you only use Instagram as a medium for contact,I use it myself now and was a huge hater against it but I use for for personal things mostly and would not live on it as much as Twitter for example,You can now exchange threaded messages and send posts you see in Feed to to one or more people as a message it also supports private photo sharing, selfies and emojis, Check out for the update now as its live App Store and the Google Play Store.
Instagram says
Threaded messages make it easier to go back and forth with the people you talk to the most. Instead of creating a new conversation every time you send a photo or video, your threads are based on the people in them — and your moments flow along naturally. We’ve also added the ability to name your groups, a quick camera feature to respond with a selfie on the fly, and larger-than-life emoji for when there are just no words.
Today’s updates also bring a brand new way to start conversations around what you see on Instagram. When you find something inspiring or funny, your first instinct is often to share it with friends who you know will appreciate it. Today, people do this by @-mentioning friends in comments, so much so that nearly 40% of comments include an @-mention. This update has made it easier to share content that you love.
Now, you’ll find an arrow next to the like and comment icons under every post. Tap it to send that post to a friend or group as a message using Instagram Direct. It will appear as part of your conversation, and you can tap the photo or video to see and like the original post. You can also send hashtag pages and location pages by tapping the arrow icon in the top right-hand corner.
Ok so we have lots of apps for editing photos and in 2015 we have one big problem for windows phone users and that is that Instagram is still labelled a BETA, It is a very popular app no less but to be coined with that familiar term BETA in 2015 is just not on its that simple. This does not only apply to Instagram mind you..
Now we have a new app called InstaBlurr which is not BETA at the end of it and is free of ads,it will be a niche app and not for everyone but it does what it says on the tin its simple to use and its also FREE.. The app allows you to edit portions of the photo and give it a blurry effect,I cant see the attraction myself only for obvious reasons but yes I have seen images on Instagram with this effect applied so it matters to Windows Phone users as they are also huge Instagram fans..
One drawback is you can only use photos in storage and not take a photo and use it as you would with Instagram for example so if you can live with that well its the app for you…Maybe over time it will allow users to take snaps and edit from there…..

Snapchat now has a new rival called Kaboom,the difference here though is the user does not need to have the app installed like snapchat currently does to send private photos etc..but you do need it for conversations.The app is only on Android and iOS and not on Windows Phone which is nothing new,even today there is no app Snapchat for Windows Phone users as they seem to dislike the OS and start proceedings to take down anything similar,example being 6snap..
Capture your moment, set it to expire and share it with your friends. You can post your self-destructing message on social media or share it using your favorite messaging platform. Kaboom makes it easy to share with the following in-app options: SMS, Email, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Direct Linking.
Every day, billions of photos and messages are being shared online to exist through infinity. Kaboom gives you full control over what you share online—where you share it and how long it lives.
Share photos & messages on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, or SMS and make them disappear after an hour, a day, or a number of views.
– Stay in control of all your text messages and pictures on social networks; have them automatically disappear.
– Your friends will be able to see your messages & photos even if they are not on Kaboom.
– Stop worrying about pictures that are posted that you or your friends don’t like; they will disappear shortly.
Kaboom is made by AnchorFree, the maker of Hotspot Shield, the world’s most popular online privacy, Wi-Fi security and internet access app, which has over 350 million installs worldwide.
Twitter has been dishing out some new updates over the last while which is perhaps a little late as some thing the microblogging site is finished,While the latest update is handy which is you can now pin your favourite tweet to your profile page direct from your device rather than desktop only. Twitter will perhaps now listen to what people want some more now but again they dont want to seem like Facebook as some think..
If you are into medicine or surgery there is not a whole lot out there as in app terms to get close to all things surgical which also includes tutorials,we have featured some apps before in this field but this app stands alone for features and more and its called Touch Surgery , I have always had an interest in medicine and surgery and read up on it quite often and like to see new things arrive on mobile,this app is excellent and even if surgery is not your thing you should take a look..The app is available on Android and iOS too so you have no excuse.. Touch Surgery is an interactive mobile surgical simulator that guides you step-by-step through every part of an operation, and every decision that’s made along the way. It’s the OR in your pocket.
The app was created by Jean Nehme and Andre Chow, two surgeons who were looking for a solution to supplement their training at the time that working hours caps were put on surgeons in the UK. The reason they emphasise aesthetics in their content is in order to provide the most medically accurate simulations and most effectively disseminate best practices. They employ animators and visual artists who have worked on projects such as The Dark Knight, Gravity, Skyfall, Harry Potter, Avatar, Finding Nemo, and many other films.
If you have a week stomach perhaps its not for you…really its not that bad….
The app contains multiple procedures so you can choose what you like or what might interest you and then you can do training depending on what level you chose,you are then given multiple choice options on what is next,i picked a surgical operation,you are then presented with multiple choice answers on proceeding with the said operation and then you are scored on your progress…
Lets look at what the app has to offer….
Features
With Touch Surgery’s surgical simulator, you can:
-Practice surgery anytime, anywhere…
-Learn operations step-by-step in our training mode
-Experience realistic surgical environments created with state-of-the-art 3D graphics
-Evaluate your knowledge and preparedness in “Test” mode
-Track your results and measure your progress
-Build a personalized library of operations
-Design an ‘in-app curriculum’ that matches your daily schedule
It’s widely accepted that cognitive decision-making should be mastered before you attempt the manual parts of an operation. Or as the surgical mantra goes, “the decision comes before the incision”.
Touch Surgery is built on that foundation. It is changing surgery.
Touch Surgery’s medical content has been developed in collaboration with leading surgeons and surgical institutions worldwide to ensure the utmost accuracy and surgical validity..
Touch Surgery allows you to hone your skills before you operate. Only you can make you the best surgeon, but Touch Surgery will help you get there.
If you are studying medicine or interested in it this app is a must and incredibly intuitive and the UI is also great.. I have tried out a few procedures on the app and its amazing alone what you can learn just using this app about the human anatomy,surgical equipment and more…
Most of us love ours pets, actually they’re practically another family member. Unfortunately we can’t stay with them all the time they need and deserve…. Until now!

The Petcube Camera is the first product of its kind that allows pet owners to watch, talk and play with their pets from their smartphone, and even from their smart watch by offering a free mobile app for iOS and Android devices.
No matter what kind of animal you own you’ll always need to “keep an eye” when you’re gone and “little cube” can help you with that

138° degree wide angle camera streaming HD 720p video
Connects to home Wi-Fi
LED notification
2-way audio stream through built-in microphone and speaker

Above of all there’s the Petcube App which lets you watch, talk and play with with pets from all over the world with their own mini Instagram.
Even if you don’t have your own Petcube Camera yet, you can use the app to watch some pet’s life, and the life of future pets, because the team behind all this made donations to pet shelters so you can see and help the cutest animals to get a family and a home.
(You’ll get the best viewing angle by placing the device 3 feet off the ground or higher)
There’s also an app for the Apple Watch to keep you updated without the hassle to look for your phone.
But enough talk! Take a look for yourself
As you can see is simple yet effective, if what you want is to “keep an eye” at home while you’re out and have the chance to talk with your pet anywhere, here’s the solutions for you.
Knock Knock is the easiest way to connect, chat and exchange contact information with people around you. By just knocking twice on your phone, Knock Knock remembers the names of the people you’re with and where you met.It might also kill the business card and you can share select information with those close by who are using the app,this makes things easier too..it provides contact with select people with not having to worry about commitment. Knock Knock was created by Humin
For anyone who has ever forgotten a name 10 seconds after meeting someone, has given out a fake number or walked out of a room wishing they’d had the courage to talk to the cute guy a few tables down, the world is about to get much less awkward.
Knock Knock makes any social interaction light and fun. There’s no need to hand over a personal phone number immediately; users can connect first within the app and chat to their heart’s desire, then share as much or as little of their contact details and social media handles (with the option of sharing more down the line).
When connecting with a group of people in the same place, only one person needs to open the app, while everyone else in the group can simply knock twice on their locked phones in their pockets or on the table, and they’ll instantly be added to a group chat. Each person can selectively deal out his or her contact details and social handles to the individuals in the group.
Knock Knock is perfect for:
– Exchanging contact info with people you’ve just met.
– Sharing moments with a group throughout a festival or a weekend away, then staying in touch when you get back.
– Leading a pub crawl or other adventure with a big group.
– Connecting everyone after a dinner party.
– Taking attendance at a meeting
…. and more! Knock Knock is perfect for any time you’re out with people!
