Waking home alone is not the wise move to make late at night and especially with the dark nights upon us daylight hours are less thus leaving some vulnerable earlier,the same applies now to the morning time as Winter approaches,this is when you might be potentially attacked which is the last thing one would want to happen.. Regardless prevention is better than cure and you should try to remain in a group or at least have a taxi or lift but it does happen when we may ramble on or continue to walk whilst trying to hail a cab..
There is now a new app to give you company if you will and you can have someone remotely monitor your journey home and its called Companion App which is a peer to peer operation via your smartphone..You can pick family members or friends who do not actually have to have the app installed and they can monitor your moves and it alerts them if there is no response and you can contact local authorities.
Selfie fans – there is lots of em but also there is fans of emojies and we can not get enough of them,but now we can combine both of these with a new app on iOS called Emojiface which will certainly be a win win for fans of both. The app is free to download… It is simple to use and you just take a photo and you can check out the pre-installed templates and select from there and then share.
This is brilliant,an app that helps the blind detect smiles which works on facial recognition technology,The app has been developed working closely with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to ensure it’s accessible to blind and partially sighted people.

Google earlier today updated their “exlpore” option which enables people in the UK and USA to find restraunts and food outlets easier,now they have also updated street view,so Google seem to be working hard this week alongside other news they have shared..from today you will be able to tour immersive 360-degree imagery and submit your own to to Google Maps. Find a great hiking trail, check out restaurant and hotel interiors, and snap and share your own photo spheres (360-degree panoramas) to Google Maps for others to explore and enjoy. All in one place.This Street View app will replace the Photo Sphere Camera app for iPhones and the Street View from Google Maps app on Android phones.

So whether you want to track the Loch Ness monster in Scotland, scale the famed rock wall El Capitan in Yosemite, or hike Mt. Fuji, the Street View app has you covered.
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!

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!
