This has been a good year, no doubt. In the tech space, we have seen a lot of unexpected things, from 3.5mm jacks being cut off to exploding phones. The app space hasn’t been left behind either, and since we begun this series, we have seen amazing apps, super useful apps that we wished existed ages ago and even those apps that are just for the chosen few. In this post, as we conclude the year 2016, I will list ten apps that I believe all of you should have on your phones. These will be apps that we have…

PhotoScan is a new app that has been released by Google, actually, by the same team that built the much loved Google Photos. PhotoScan lets you scan your old or even recent printed photos into digital ones that you can easily share on social media or store safely online. PhotoScan itself is fairly simple to use, once you launch the application, you go directly to an interface that lets you scan the printed photo. First, you have to position the printed photo within a frame on, which you will see on your phone’s screen. Once you have done this well,…

Today’s app is one that is developed locally and one that I have known about for quite some time now. Bonga is an app that is focused on personal safety. Developed with the teen user in mind, Bonga is beautifully designed and easy to use. So what exactly does Bonga app do? Bonga helps you quickly send out an SOS message to your close circle of friends in the case that you are lost or you are feel unsafe with your environment, this message is sent out with your location information so it is important to have your phone’s location…

If you have ever accidentally or even intentionally deleted something from your phone and then moments after wished that you hadn’t, this app is for you! Dumpster is an android app that performs the same way a recycle bin on windows or mac pc/laptop does. Once you delete a file, song image or video, instead of it disappearing for good, it is kept within dumpster app and you can restore it whenever you like. Dumpster has a wide variety of features but the ones that stand out the most include: Restoring deleted images and video Recover uninstalled apps Auto delete…

It’s been really really long but here it is, our review of the Phantom 6! Some of you probably already have the device, some are still thinking whether to buy it or not. So the Phantom 6 is Tecno’s flagship for this year, but I like referring to it as the second flagship since their number one device is obviously the Phantom 6 Plus. Anyway,to keep this review short and relevant, I will look at what’s good and what’s bad about the Phantom 6 and let you decide whether to get it or not. The Good Design The best asset…

You have probably seen the always-on display feature of Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, LG V10 and V20. Well, this week’s app, Glance Plus will let your phone join the cool kids club with an always-on display. Glance Plus is a free app that lets you have the cool always-on display on your phone, regardless of the model. I have been using the Tecno Phantom 6 for a while and I decided to try this app since the Phantom 6 has an AMOLED display meaning it is capable of having an always-on display without any serious battery drain. Glance Plus…

Today’s app is amazing! Ok, Just kidding, it’s just amazing to geeks like me and super useless to everyone else. Wait, don’t leave yet, you don’t have to download the app but at least let me tell you about DeskDock. DeskDock is an app that was built for developers (those people who create apps), its main purpose is to allow the developer to create and test apps without ever lifting their hands from their PC keyboard – that simple. Ofcourse the use is much wider than just that, even for the non-savvy community. DeskDock easily let’s you interact with your…

How the app works is, you first sign in with your LinkedIn account or create one, then you are given a list, from which you have to select at least three topics you are interested in,…

It’s another week and we have another app to introduce you too. Muviz is a nifty app that visualizes your music on your navigation bar. I hope I didn’t lose any of you with that explanation. There’s nothing much I can say about the app Muviz, it is a fairly straight forward app that honestly will not add anything to your life. It is simply a customization app that is meant to make your phone stand out from the crowd. The most impressive part about Muviz app is that it does not require root access meaning anyone can use it…
