We don’t get to talk about Android apps much too often here on this site. Coming across a well-designed Android app isn’t as easy as it is finding a gorgeous iOS app. But we recently stumbled across an Android app on Google Play that swept us off our feet. Honestly, it was hard to believe at first when we first saw it, but we’ve been playing with the app for the last couple of hours and we can guarantee that this is nothing short of marvelous. The app is called ‘Resume “Rakesh Kumar Jha”‘ and is Freely available on Google…

This is a quick post regarding our RSS feed. Like many other publishers, we’ve decided to stop using and move away from FeedBurner’s services.

Scraps is a wonderful utility app for iPhone that acts as a smart container for your thoughts. It lets you quickly and easily save your thoughts into the app with a few taps, so that you can continue with whatever you were doing. This is very important as more often than not, we often come across random thoughts and later when we’re trying to recollect them, it becomes nearly impossible. So Scraps offers an aesthetic interface for you to log your thoughts into the app. Scraps turned out to be a pretty nifty utility to have in my testing. While…

If you’ve been reading my articles here, you already know that I love my word games. Unlike other game genres, Word Games let me play when I want to. They don’t need my constant attention and they’re easy to keep aside and continue from where I left off. My favorite word game to be released on the App Store, ever, has been Letterpress. Loren Brichter came back to the App Store with a huge bang with that one and Letterpress continues to be immensely popular with the masses. I’ve also been playing Ordet a lot lately, which we wrote about…

I love to travel and explore new places. Not just new places away from the city, but even the lesser-known spots in the city known for their food or scenic beauty. I also love maintaining a journal and documenting where I’ve been and what places I’ve traveled to. Gowalla was an absolutely gorgeous app to document spots before it was acquired & shutdown by Facebook. I then moved to the lovely suite of Day One. I am not interested in the perks of “checking-in” at a spot, I just want a place to save the places I’ve been to. So…

Online music streaming services like Spotify and Rdio have become immensely popular these days, but they still remain available only in the select few countries where they have the rights. I have always wished for these services to be available in India as and while there is a way to subscribe to them from here, it’s not really ideal. For Indian users or for those looking for Bollywood or other regional language tracks, there have been services like Saavn, Gaana, Dhingana, etc. that come with an extensive library of tracks and their own unique offerings. All services are free to…
