A new app called Calorific developed by Nic Mulvaney will show you what 200 calories of your favourite food looks like,the devs have captured many photos of popular foods and you can see what calories are in selected food stuffs before you actually eat,it aims to help people be more aware of what their daily intake is which will be quite helpful for those who are trying to maintain a healthy living or who is currently on diet programmes.

Hard work has gone into the app with research,photos and products weighed all for your convenience.

Calorific shows you exactly what 200 calories look like with beautiful photography.

Why 200 calories? Because it’s a nice portion size and makes it easy to recognise roughly how many calories you are eating without needing to check the labels.

You’ve probably been told at some point how many calories you need to consume each day. But the concept of a calorie can be hard to grasp and understanding what foods contain how many calories can be even more difficult.

So what does 200 calories of any given food or drink actually look like? Well it turns out it’s a whole lot of spinach but only half a spoon of peanut butter!

Each food has been meticulously researched, weighed and photographed in high definition.

Features:

• Over 140 beautiful retina photographs
• Sort by name, weight or food type
• Compare interesting foods side by side
• Instant search

SPECIAL OFFER: Save over 60% when you share Calorific with your friends. See in app purchase.

Let’s Sway away the Old and Embrace the new! By @VicenteA_George #Microsoft #Windows #App

Microsoft “Sway” is a new app that is part of the Office portfolio. These app allows you to create and show off your ideas using various formats and sources at the same time.

Previously Sway was only available through invites, but for a limited time you can sign up on the sourcelink below.

Sway helps you to save time and stop switching between different apps to get together your content. Is integrated with OneDrive, Social Networks, and the Web so you can drag and drop your content right onto your project in one single screen.

Let’s take a look at this new project

In case you’ve had wondered, Yes! There’s an Iphone and an Ipad in the video, unlike other platforms Microsoft allows you to use the app on any device and any OS

Here’s an example of how it would look.

What do you think about the new app? Give a try and let us know in the comments below

Bought an app from the #Google Playstore you dont like? You now have 2hrs to get refund.

Apps love em or hate em they are here to stay,and yes we all buy apps and don’t like them at times and just leave it sit there but you only had 15 minutes to get a refund if you didn’t like the app you chose to download from store.

Thankfully now this has changed and changed for the good too,you now have 2 hours to decide if you do or do not like the app in question,generally there is no trial versions on the play store unlike Windows for example or if you are involved in beta programmes you are lucky as you can trial the app for free,so this 2 hour window gives you a chance to have some real time to test the app and see if its working fine or if there is bugs present.

 

 

Also to note there is lots of bogus apps in the store and to some they are not aware of how genuine some apps are so always check the developer and check the reviews too,this will give a good guide as to how the app performs and to its legitimacy..but typically you will see both good and bad reviews on all apps on all platforms,this is just how the scene works but you will notice a pattern.

Myself has had time when apps where no good and i sometimes missed the timeframe of 15 mins and sometimes not but when getting a refund within the limits always have went smoothly regardless.

Check out the process at Google

GOOD IDEA? let us know should all other platforms follow suit.

 

Bad mobile coverage in your area? Report it with #FREQ and build a network #Apps #IrishMobieBiz

Coverage today is a priority with your phone or tablet be it indoors,outdoors or travelling so we need to know where is hot and where is not,for me an app like this is vital not only knowing if bad coverage is on my trip but knowing where it is ,is another story i like to stay in places where i have good coverage especially if im there for a few days and need to work from my laptop,tablet or phone,and i never rely on hotel or free wifi in most cases its poor or restricted.

 

 

What is FREQ. 

Because it’s all about you, not about general table rankings or general naming and shaming.

We analyse your mobile performance, establish patterns and highlight your problems with operators to help improve your daily network. We  also show the best and the worst parts of company phone networks, indoors and out.

Based in Ireland, our team of engineers, network planners and data scientists have decades of expertise in design, build and operations with operators and network suppliers all over the world.

Its early days, and the feedback is excellent – so download the app. Help build the right-for-you network.

FAQ – FREQ 

What are the chances I will get a good connection? Thats how to think of your FREQ score. 0 to 100%. A single number that simplifies a complicated situation. Can your network deliver the response you need in the time you need it? Based on our findings we  score your network, phones, buildings or locations and deliver the forecast you need.

So What?

By knowing your FREQ score, you will have a more accurate reading of your phones actual performance compared to the bar method we all use currently. If you answer yes to any of these questions then you need FREQ:

  • Have you ever had your phone display a five bar reception, but all  you get is one star performance?
  • Do you find it hard to be heard amid all the competing offers….free minutes……unlimited calls….all you can ‘eat’ data and texts?
  • Do you want a voice for what your network should deliver – in the places you spend most of your time?

What do I have to do?

It’s easy and straightforward. Simply download and install the app. The app works in the background measuring when the signals change and reporting the results to our database for analysis. Daily forecasts are available on the site – we will be posting them on the app in a coming release. Right now we are building our results and we need your help!

How much does it cost?

For you, the user, it’s free. If you are in a company and want a detailed analysis of how all the operators are performing in your building, for remote workers or those on the road – contact us.

How does it work?

Whenever coverage fluctuates we record the changes, the technology used and how well the network responds. Based on this we calculate a network score. Based on this score we can rank the network. We call it the FREQ score. We want this to become the standard measure for your network experience, and for how to compare phones, networks and operators.

Are you spying on me?

Never. We do not record your number, your site data or any other personal data. We do not record any information about who you are or what sites you visit.

We  record which network cell sites are use, and the approximate location. If GPS is enabled then the location of the phone will be recorded when the coverage changes. There is absolutely no way to tie this back to a user based on the uploaded information.

We are only interested in signal strength and network quality – we have zero interest in the sites you visit, your calls and your content. They are just not interesting to us –now or ever.

 

 

Will it use my battery or data?

We only take readings when the coverage changes, we then analyse and send results so there are no major battery drains, especially as it stays the background. The data traffic is typically less than 100K per day and we e include a ‘wifi only’ option for the fat-free, zero add-on mobile data plan.  GPS should be switched off in order to minimise the battery drain.

Who are you?

We are a group of network experts who have spent the last decade designing and operating mobile networks all over the world. We believe in Total Mobile – streaming, dreaming, buying, selling and living our life online, everywhere, anytime. We love data analytics and cloud computing, and believe that these type of crowd measurements can help everyone build a better mobile environment.

So in a nutshell these guys have it all covered and we wish them the best in the further development and hope to see it on more platforms soon..
