If you are a cinema goer this could be an invaluable app but again you could argue its something that occurs naturally but this app is designed to let you know when a certain part of a film is boring and it also tells you if there is extras after the film which is something many flick lovers like myself included.
The app is constantly updated too so you need not worry if something should be missed. This is quite a handy app when you think about it because in many films there is always the boring part and this cn go on for some time but then again so can the best bits but this is when you can control nature as the app will tell you when its best to dash off to the loo and not annoy too many cinema guest in the process. There is an alert function which works by vibration so for those who detest phones in the cinema it’s another bonus.

Smart security systems will lead the Smart Home revolution – 37% of the population would buy one if money were no object
Smart TV’s, laptops and tablets are already being used to introduce smart technology in the home
AO.com predict Smart Home technology will spread out of the living room via home security and heating, to embrace many areas of the home
Home security is a top priority for homeowners investing in Smart Home technology, a new census reveals. This also runs with our current run of posts and products we are now testing in house here with affordable home security products,stay tuned for those reviews soon…
The research, provided by OnePoll and commissioned by online electrical retailer AO.com shows that if money was no object, UK residents would invest in a smart security system for their home (37%). This beats products such as virtual digital assistants, which only 1 in 8 of the population would buy (12%), robot lawnmowers (18%) and remote controlled heating for the whole house (29%).
Of the 2,000 respondents, 68% see positive factors in owning smart technology such as ‘convenience’ and ‘saving time’. 18-24 year olds believe that this form of technology could benefit the elderly, whilst 25-34 and 45-54 year olds think that a Smart Home would help save money in the long run
Smart Homes start in the living room
39% of respondents said they currently own a smart TV and a further 15% say they will buy one in the next 12 months, with 75% believing they will have a smart TV in the future. 38% of 18-24 years olds that don’t own a smart TV said they don’t feel the need to buy one, as they already own a plug in or accessory to make a standard TV smart.
Our viewing habits are also changing, as 32% ofthe nation don’t frequently consume live TV and instead opt for on demand services, subscriptions or streaming, which increases the demand for smart TVs or accessories. 5% of the population now watch TV while commuting, with this figure rising to 11% in London.
Top smart products the UK plans to buy in the next 12 months
The most desired Smart Home products, (listed below) shows that whilst we’re not quite ready for advanced Smart Home technology such as robot vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers, we are happy to embrace smart products such as laptops, tablets and smart TVs.
Laptop (17%)
Tablet (17%)

Smart TV accessory (11%)
Turn on heating remotely (9%)
Virtual digital assistant (5%)
We love being connected
Over 1 in 3 people aged below 35 could not cope without access to their phone, laptop or tablet for more than 3 hours, with the majority of this age group not being able to last 8 hours. 29% of 18 to 24 year olds would rather leave the house with their mobile phone than their spouse, children or money.
Commenting on the census results, Andrew Kirkcaldy, Group Brand Director at AO.com said:
“The research suggests that the Smart Home revolution has already started with Smart TV’s and audio, and we haven’t even noticed it. For many homes, smart home security and heating will take this technology out of the living room, leading to a Smart Home that will help save us money and time, while making our lives easier”
