Best Business Apps For iPhone/iPad

July 18, 2014 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Many people now find their iPhone invaluable when it comes to business matters and managing finances, and it’s easy to see why when you look at the range of apps on offer. From scanning documents to money-saving tips, check out the next few pages to see which apps could help organize your life…

iphone-business-appsapps-for-business

NatWest Stockbrokers App

An app for customers to access their Stockbrokers Brokerline account and trade on the move. The ability to view orders, track portfolios and create a watch list, this app provides at-a-glance account summaries, up-to-the-minute trade prices, real-time quotes on stock you are monitoring and a detailed breakdown of your portfolio, current holdings, market value and overall gain or loss. It’s also highly secure to use.

This app combines an attractive and accessible interface with a high level of detailed information that is relayed very effectively, even on the small screen. But there’s still room for improvement. We would have liked the landscape orientation to have been utilized to allow users to interact with graphs to see the prices at specific points, and the option to transfer money in or out of your account is lacking. A promising start.

Price: Free Developer: RBS

DebtMinder

Getting into debt is never a pleasant experience, and without essential planning it’s possible to let the problem get out of control. DebtMinder is an app that can analyze a user’s financial situation, develop a payo_ plan, and help dig them out of a hole. DebtMinder offers simple and effective data synchronization between iOS devices via the cloud, perfect for keeping team members updated on the current situation.

Data can also be synced with sister app BillMinder. Syncing data is reliant upon setting up an account, but if you don’t want to do this it is not required, as the app still works fine as a standalone product. DebtMinder calculates payo_ plans based on interest rates, starting dates and opening. The progress of a plan can be viewed in the Reports section of the app where line graphs and pie charts visualize your current financial status. For someone looking to wrestle some control over their vanishing finances, DebtMinder is an ideal app for turning the tide.

Price: £1.49/$1.99 Developer: return7

Divided Bill Splitter

When dining out with friends, splitting the bill can be a time-consuming pain and a cause of disagreements. Instead of breaking out a calculator app, Divided Bill Splitter can be applied to effectively split the cost. The straightforward interface allows for totals to be calculated with or without a tip, also making it more functional than the built-in calculator. If a straight split isn’t ideal, it’s similarly possible to apply separate costs for individuals within a group.

Divided Bill Splitter is a simple yet perfectly functional app that we would certainly recommend.

MoneySave Debt Calculator

Debt is never a fun situation, but in order to fix the problem it is necessary to meet it head-on. Using the free MoneySave Debt Calculator app, incoming funds can be compared against regular outgoing financial commitments. The simple questions provided by the app make it possible to create an action plan that can help remove unwanted debt. There’s some useful information on offer here, but the results generally tend to skew towards calling the team behind the app for extra advice – which, of course, isn’t free.

July 18, 2014 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Smart watches are greatly known as wearable computers. Currently, they are extensive in range with various thrilling functions for instance; Sony smart watch has the technology through which it can work with any smart phone.  Several companies have launched a series of smart watches due to which a watch is often compared with the other smart watch of the same company. Right now, we will do a contrast between Samsung gear live and Samsung gear 2 neo. The most prominent dissimilarity is in the software of both the smart watches Samsung gear live runs on Google Android Os, which obviously has the facility of voice search, whereas Samsung Gear 2 Neo runs on Samsung’s Tizen software which has actually very basic options.  Samsung-Galaxy-Gear-2-vs-Gear-2-Neo  There is just a slight difference in its size, gear live is a bit thinner than the other one, that doesn’t make any big difference. When we talk about available colors in both the smart watches then we can easily say that Samsung gear 2 is the champion in it since it has 3 different colors that are black, gold, and orange. When it comes to the size of display screen, display type, water resistance ability, heat rate observer and fitness track then both smart watches stands on the same line with 1.63” screen.  In conclusion, one cannot be the winner because if we look at the appearance then the vote will be for Gear live on the other hand Gear 2 Neo has some certain features which you would not find in Gear live.

LG G2 : Things To Know

July 17, 2014 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

LG enabled their users with a wide range of Smartphones availability and their variety increases day by day. Unfortunately, the market of smart phone is not being generous on LG however, company is still hopeful.

Therefore, recently they have launched its new smart phone LG-G2 in market to achieve that fame back and to leave a mark on all the other Smartphone brands.

As soon as we observe it closely then it can surely be considered as the rival of Galaxy S4 because it has similarities with S4. It has a screen of 5.2”, larger than galaxy S4, which shouts loud and says it is only for the superior class.

It would be an excellent choice for the people who love photography since it has 13MP camera. LG has shaped it in a very smooth back black panel and they have named it as the world’s thinnest smart phone. The most notable difference in this phone is the power key which is usually present on the side of the phones whereas, in LG-G2 smart phone that key is located at the back of the phone hence “REAR KEY” is the name given to it.

LG-G2-Review

Company has also revealed the reason behind this placement, they said that it would be easier for user to switch the phone on and off with the help of index fingers. People who have even slightest knowledge of the smart phone know that the rear key is less expensive as compare to the side keys. I would say that if LG wanted to make a difference with this product than it should not have used things of this category (cheaper rates). It will definitely smash the trust of its customers.

What’s New In Windows 8.1

May 23, 2014 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Featured with extra-add-ons, Windows 8.1 is a complete fix to Windows 8. The package is promising and tempting with full-featured mail app for Facebook, peek bar in outlook, Explorer 11 and Windows scan app. The interface changes and SkyDrive integration are additional feathers on the hat. The desired layout of startup screen, desktop taskbar and settings on both Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT are synchronized by SkyDrive. The installation is very simple as it needs only a minor up-gradation from Windows 8. Re-installation of Windows Store, desktop applications, any files and apps are not required. The all new Windows 8.1 houses the revamped start screen enhanced with more tile sizes. It facilitates laying out multiple apps simultaneously on the screen and locks the screen into a photo gallery.

Two other major interface changes are that, it allows smart search and fast handling of multiple modern app windows on screen. With the advanced snap view options, the user has the feasibility to split two or several Windows Store apps on the main screen. In desktops with larger screen, user can snap two to four windows side by side. File saving and accessing has been scaled to perfection. As a default option, Windows 8.1 saves new files on SkyDrive, enabling universal availability i.e. on every PC the user integrates or uses. It can also sync files from the cloud automatically. Internet browsing is faster with IE 11 allowing multiple tabs and toggling between them is extremely fast. This operation uses very little CPU memory.

Over all Windows 8.1 has improved performance with better SkyDrive Integration and more ways to personalize your personal computer.

These features will be rolled out in market from May 23. The combination of the two is anticipated to bring about an enhancement in phone calls and user’s experience.
AT&T does not plan to support HD voice on its existing 3G HSPA network and it is clear from the release they made.

HD-voice

For other regions AT&T have not yet public roadmap for the launch of these new features.
Obviously not all the mobile phones support these new features but Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini supports the two features; and the Apple iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s will also perhaps be eligible and many more devices to come
You can expect that the next-generation iPhone 6 will also likely support the new features of AT&T.
In a news release relating to the looming launch of VoLTE and HD Voice features, AT&T said that; “Both the features will together bring about a notable difference in call clarity. Part of the improvement in call clarity will result from noise cancellation technology which will reduce background sounds; thereby making calls “crystal-clear.”

Honeybees Death Rates Fell in the United States

May 15, 2014 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

According to the department of American agriculture survey, this winter around one out of four US honeybee colonies died. It is said that, this year 23 percent of bees colonies failed to survive because of the use of pesticides, parasites and diseases. Experts say rate of the death of bees is considerably lower than the average of eight years or last year, that is 30 percent.

Dennis van Engelsdorp, Entomology Professor from the University of Maryland said, “It’s better news than it could have been,” He further added, “It’s not good news.”

From the university of Illinois entomology professor, May Berenbaum, stated;”It’s encouraging that if anything it’s not a steady downward trend,”

David Mendes, past president of the American Beekeeping Federation and a North Fort Myers beekeeper, believes according to the survey, number of the losses of bees is 30 percent but actually the rate of losses is comparatively even lower. According to him, in almond fields of California where “probably 100,000 hives got nailed,” he added.
90 percent of plant sources of honeybee’s pollination are flowering crops that includes nuts, broccoli, citrus fruits, melons, berries, apples and etc.

Beekeeper Mendes said “It’s a really wild ride,” he also added “It’s not a whole lot of fun.”
