FIVE FANTASTICO APPS IN MY ANDROID PHONE

The most dearest and precious thing to me after my family in this world is my smartphone currently. I own an HTC Desire series Android Phone and I have no qualms in admitting that I am totally, completely and undoubtedly addicted to it. The last thing that I check before going off to sleep is my phone at night and the first thing I want early in the morning along with my hot cup of tea is my phone earlier it used to be the national daily but what to do other than to replace when you can have the better option. All the things which are required or may be needed to ensure the smooth functioning of my daily routine are installed in it and it has become more than just a gadget or a device that can support voice-calling services at the end. 

As from my own experience and conclusions, a lot of paperwork has been saved by the advent of different Applications or Apps.

In this blog spot, I shall be sharing about those five Apps which are really good in keeping a tab on myself, my hobbies whether it is in terms of managing and creating my files and documents, tabulating the expenses, maintaining a paperless photo album, connecting with my near and dears, encouraging my passion, interest and love towards writing and blogging and many more things as well as making my phone a little more than just a mere Smartphone but a Fantastico daily life companion like my own shadow.
That is why, these apps have been felicitated by me in my own dictionary as Fantastico Apps. So, here I present the list of 5 Apps which I have on my experience of using them in the last six months.

1. Office Suite+PDF Editor 

This App by MobiSystems is the best in class that allows the users to view,edit and create Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. Also, allowing the user to convert files to PDF format and vice-versa. Also managing all the files has become quite simpler and time saving at the same time.

2. Walnut 

This one is almost as equivalent to me as appointing a personal assistant would have been. This App keeps tab on all the expenses such as ATM withdrawals, movie tickets, bills and bank cards. I do not have to check all of my VISA card statements since Walnut is doing that for me. In simple words, it is the Passbook and Booking App for Android devices.

3. Instagram

Instagram is the simple way to capture the moments and sharing them with our friends and followers. It allows the user to manually edit their photographs and videos. Most importantly, it has introduced the concept of paperless photographs along with its contemporaries but still Instagram is a revolution in its own league.

4. WhatsApp Messenger

There are many other Apps which have entered the market and doing well but WhatsApp has surely changed the experience of messaging all around the world. There is no doubt about that WhatsApp has made sending and receiving text messages service a low cost affair. It has connected people with the help of accessibility to Internet.

5. Blogger

I have an avid interest in reading and writing articles in English language. Though, I am soon going to be a qualified Engineer in the coming months but my hobby never died and all this has become possible due to this App. Now, most of the time whenever I have a thought starter for a post, I only need to open Blogger in my phone and write all the stuff that has boiled up inside me.

This blog post is inspired by the blogging marathon hosted on IndiBlogger for the launch of the #Fantastico Zica from Tata Motors. You can apply for a test drive of the hatchback Zica today.

FIVE Must Have Apps on My Android Phone

Smartphones are the best thing that happened to humans by the advent of technology, no doubts about it. We can have an hour or even a day-long debates on the pros and cons of it but no matter what the end result would be, one cannot deny the fact that they are really the best and serve their purpose if used in the right direction to the fullest.

So, here I present the sneak peek of the Five Must Have Apps on my Smartphone.

1. WhatsApp

WhatsApp has definitely revolutionized the world of chat messages, there was once a time when people in India used to buy the Message Cards to cut down the cost of SMS services and here with the advent of this App, this scenario got completely changed. This App allows you to send and receive messages,media files at such an inexpensive rate that it hardly affects your pocket. Also, the highlight of it is its user-friendly interface which is quiet easy and fun to put in use.

So, this is surely the first thing I need on my device.

2. Instagram

Instagram in  my opinion is the best App for sharing Photographs and Videos. This is hands down my favorite App since last one and a half year, I'm totally addicted to it. This allows the user to click photos(or one can post through gallery) and videos and share it to their followers after applying filters available with a wide range. Other interesting feature that dragged me towards it is that it allows you to view the pics of people you follow rather than other unwanted feed from them on your homepage which makes it cool for me.



3.Twitter
Twitter is that social networking App which can keep you updated at any instant. In this fast pacing world, no one has the time to actually look around for news channels or newspapers all the time to keep a tab on the current happenings in and around your surroundings but with Twitter's trending statistics, you can. The App has made with such a powerful algorithm at the back-end that it immediately picks the sudden trending topics and show them in the search tab. Also, the highlight feature is that of the 140 character long tweet/message which allows the strict filtering of words usage and delivery of a meaningful short phrase or sentence for the reader just like the concept of telegram in the olden days.




4. Chrome Browser
One cannot survive in this tech-savvy age without a web browser.These days when you get stuck over a thing or a two, you only need to search for it on the internet and voila! it's done. Believe me, it pulls you out of a hell lot of possible embarrassment sometimes. By the way,all the web browsers available these days are quite good and powerful but I'm quite used to Google Chrome because of its handy UI.




5. Youtube
Youtube App has made browsing videos easy and quick. And the best use of it comes when you are going to do some DIY trick or cooking because you only need to put the phone in front of you to get done with the task and that too in your comfort zone. I cannot pull out my laptop all the time to view   some video but I can easily do the same with my phone.                                                                      

App Review: HolidayIQ

Today while browsing through the trending topics on the Twitter, I came across a contest called #HolidayBetter conducted by HolidayIQ and somewhere down the line, it intrigued me to take part in it and during that process, it came into my notice that its an app called as HolidayIQ which is available at Google Play Store to download and as a curious soul which I am always without wasting a second, I installed it on my Smartphone.
Okay, here's the review:
First of all, it's a travel app and not for just only travel enthusiasts but for those who is an explorer.
This app provides reviews on different tourist places and these reviews are the first hand account of the travelers. There's a tab called Destination on it where you can browse through different places or the one of your choice, once selecting that a whole range of local tourist attractions will open up to visit and each one of it will have ratings and reviews attached with it. In short, you are getting suggestions to design your trip according to your own will that too for free.
We all have faced one problem while getting out of our house is that of the erratic network coverage, sometimes it's a no trouble zone but many times when needed the most and here the offline feature of the App comes into the foray, you can actually download the information and access it offline the same way you would have with internet access.
There' also feature of the app which is called customized Holiday Packages and as the name suggests it is what it is, offering tailor-made packages for you.
What I love the most about this App is that the pictures of various places are breath-taking and intriguing enough for you to tempt to plan an outing there.
Also the icing on the cake is that there are travel blogs up for read inspiring people to get onboard to travel.
All in all,really nice App with a user-friendly interface, easy to handle by anyone and I would suggest my readers to download it and enjoy while using it.
P.S. : They had a very good TVC on youtube, do check it out.
