Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock has launched a brand new app which is a motivational app from Project Rock. Sure we can all do with some motivation and this take might just help those who have no mojo right now.. Fans of the Rock will certainly appreciate this idea and for those who are motivated might want to check it out,with custom tones created by the man himself can you bear the though of listening to him every morning?? I could think of worse.. If you cant self motivate maybe this is something you can try for yourself..This app contains a NO SNOOZE feature which is something I kind of like to use every day,bad habit..
The app is simple to navigate and you name your own challenges within the app or pick from the selected challenges listed,there is also a sleep mode clock which looks neat..You can also pick from the stock alarm tones provided in the list,The app is available now available free on Android and iOS.

There is apps for almost anything these days and when it comes to social media apps we have plenty,probably too much some might say but it aint going to stop anytime soon with more apps already in Beta and to what is already available now.This app is somewhat different and it is basically a social media app for those bookworms out there,Litsy is an app where you can join up post reviews,comment and search what others have in the community..Also in the app you can use the “Litfluence” scoring system which will make your profile stand out..
Description
The Litsy community is a groundswell of passionate readers, authors and influencers creating short posts about their “reading moments.” These posts are made of blurbs, photos, quotes and reviews, and each post is linked to one book.
Since enjoying a book has no end, Litsy is 100% mobile and allows you to capture whatever bookish thoughts you have, whenever you have them. Litsy also makes it easy to “go down the rabbit hole,” browsing your feed while on the go. When you find your next book, it’s easy to add it to your stack for future reading.
Social Media is a powerful tool and there is plenty of apps now to communicate with others worldwide,the social aspect though is moving to particular interests now rather than sticking to the usual mainstream which allows people with the same interests hop on and stick to that topic at hand, Instagram for example is for taking pictures which now seems to be more of food than being social and snapping nice pictures and sharing them,its gone off on a tangent which annoys many and people post what they have for breakfast ,dinner and tea. This app called Brapp is one of the newer social apps that are topic at hand only,in this case its music.
Brapp is a social platform that puts a powerful studio in your pocket. Producers can upload beats and anyone can record a 1 minute video on top, mix down the audio with powerful studio effects, add video filters and instantly share with their followers.
CEO-Co Founder Niki Mukhi..
Niki’s focus is on the overall vision for Brapp, developing new features enabling people to discover, collaborate and connect globally.Niki has worked as a guitarist, MD and composer performing in over 50 cities worldwide. In 2011 he started creating concepts focused on bringing people together though our universal languages (primarily music). In 2014, whilst developing a writing tool for musicians he put together the concept and team for Brapp.
Artists and music lovers in over 80 countries are using Brapp to:
⁃ Upload their beats
⁃ Record videos on beats by producers around the world
⁃ Mix their recordings with the free and powerful audio effects (EQ, Pump, Delay and Reverb)
⁃ Enhance videos with built in video filters
⁃ Share videos and beats on and off Brapp
⁃ Discover, connect and keep up with new musical collaborations as they happen.

Hay Fever is quite frankly a pain in the ass,those who suffer from it will tell you the same,I used to suffer from it years ago and it was not a pleasant experience either. Thankfully it seems to have went away and now I do not suffer and have not done so for a few years.. Treatment does vary for this pest from nasal sprays to home made remedies,but the best treatment I guess is prevention and prevention is better than cure..In my time I used a spray called beconase and it was horrible to even take it by spraying up the nose. With this new app you will be able to enter your symptoms and get a treatment instantly. Not only that you can explore your nose and more.. Sadly the app is only on iPhone for now and it would be nice to see it on all platforms but we have to start somewhere I guess.
How can this new app help?
20 Million people in Ireland and the UK suffer from hay fever.
Using the App, sufferers can determine the severity of their hay fever and get immediate and specific treatment advice.
Instant Pollen Count information wherever you live or plan to travel.
This summer take control of hay fever and enjoy – not endure – those sunny days.
The information in this App is based on Dr. Paul Carson’s 30+ years of dealing with hay fever and allergy patients. He has published many popular self-help books on allergies and hay fever.
App features
Explore nose, sinuses, ears and eyes to find out what happens during a pollen allergy attack.
Check pollen counts for your country in the information section. You’ll also discover self-help tips, alternative medicines and guides to the treatments. You’ll soon understand why some treatments work and other (good) treatments don’t work.
