Featured App: Lemon Wallet

by Leave a Comment

I came across this app and thought why would this be good? Having all your information that can be stolen so easily all in one place? Looking further into it, I realized that this is a great idea! Here’s why:

Lemon Wallet allows you to store a digital copy of all of your cards—ID, insurance, loyalty and payment cards—so you always have a backup in case your wallet is misplaced, lost or stolen. Lemon Wallet digitizes your cards in a smarter way with interactive balance updates, personalized offers and a simple way to communicate with brands and merchants.

1.Take a picture of your cards

Getting started is as easy as snapping a photo of every card in your wallet. Lemon Wallet captures the important information and stores your cards in your phone and on our servers.

2. Safer than your wallet

All your data is safely stored and encrypted, and a PIN is required to access your cards. If you lose your phone, you can remotely unlink it from your Lemon account.

3. Access anywhere, anytime

Have you ever forgotten your wallet? With Lemon Wallet, you can access your information when you need it. Plus you can always have a backup in the cloud in case your wallet is lost or stolen.

4. Store your receipts

You can also store all your receipts in case you need to make a return, for tax purposes or to track your spending. Just take a picture of your receipt, and we will digitize key information.

 

These are just a few features of this app. So far it seems safe to use and very convenient. Imagine if you go to the store and you forgot the credit card you wanted to use at home? This app makes it so you can pull that card right up on your phone and still be able to use it right in the store, without having to go back home and get it!

iPhone 4S Users Get an Important Update

by Leave a Comment

iOS

Apple recently pushed out iOS 6.1 which had many new features including updates to Apple’s Map app and Safari, but a few of those features were unintended. iPhone 4s users have been experiencing poor cell phone performance along with other issues. Other bugs also plagued Apple’s mail app, causing network problems when iOS 6.1 devices connect to networks with other mail clients like Microsoft Exchange.

Yet another issue that has popped up with this update included battery life problems as well. If you own an iPhone 4s you should make sure you’re up-to-date with the latest update from Apple (6.1.1). Of course if you haven’t made the update to 6.1 then you should be also fine.

Featured App: Candy Crush

Candy Crush is a bejeweled-like game mixed with Candy Land where you have to match three or more like candies to break them away. You can get boosters by matching four or five. Four, you get a striped candy that can destroy a whole row, and five, a doughnut that will get rid of all of one color on the screen.

There are 125 levels with cute little short stories as you play through. This game is very addictive and the music is catchy. As the levels go up in number they get harder and harder to beat. You have 5 turns to lose with or else you must wait for a timer to regenerate turns. You can add friends from Facebook and ask them for help and turns. You will also need friends to help you move on to new stories. The game will prompt you that you need three friends to give you tickets to get across to the new levels.

The only thing I don’t enjoy in this game, is I feel like I am being forced to purchase (with real money) boosters for the levels. Some levels I have played numerous times and it seems impossible without them. I have not purchased anything in this game, and I have moved along slowly. Some go faster and there are ones that I am stuck on forever, but it’s just the luck of the board I guess. Either way, I still play it, and it’s still pretty fun.

Cycloramic Brings a Unique “Twist” to the iPhone

by Leave a Comment

Cycloramic is a cool little app that records video while it actually rotates your iPhone by using vibration. Seems like it could be pretty useful, but it would make me a little nervous to use this app in certain locations where the phone could become damaged. Another issue I have with this app is that it doesn’t take panoramic photos, which would be a nice addition. Overall, I like the idea, it’s a pretty clever little trick and it’s sure to get you some attention at a party, but I just wonder how useful it actually is.
