5 intriguing apps for Windows 10: September 4, 2015

By
They are the 5 Intriguing Apps of the Week.


IHeartRadio

1. iHeartRadio

If you are a music, radio, or podcast lover, you probably already know about iHeartRadio. If not, then you should.
iHeartRadio lets you create personal radio stations from their 20 million songs based on bands you like. Songs can be rated "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" so the app can better learn your tastes.
You can also stream actual radio stations from around the world, or even based on your location. Not to mention podcasts of just about any genre and topic.
The new iHeartRadio app for Windows 10 uses the new universal app design with stunning graphics and lots of options.
The company has partnered with Microsoft, so you can purchase any song or album you like through Groove or sign up for a Groove Pass right from the app. iHeartRadio is a fantastic way to listen to your favorite music, discover new bands, or tune into radio stations and podcast anywhere you go.
Though it's a universal app, the phone version is not yet available. But it shouldn't be long.
Hudl

2. Hudl

Hudl is the official app for the website of the same name. The site is designed to help athletes and coaches of different sports to hone their game by using video footage and analyzing data.
Whether you are trying to coach the team on fundamentals or find a weakness in your opponent's game, Hudl gives you the ability to upload and watch video, run standard or custom reports, make notations, and share with others.
You can even put your playbook online for easy access.
The Hudl app lets you view any video footage you have uploaded, along with any markups you've made. You can see them in the app, full-screen, or cast them to another device like an Xbox or smart TV.
Hudl for Windows doesn't give you all of the functionality that comes with the service, but it is a handy companion. It is free with any Hudl subscription.
Better StartMenu

3. Better StartMenu

Better StartMenu more than just an app, it is a two-part system for creating custom Start menu tiles for your Windows tablet or PC.
Using the Better StartMenu Helper application, which you can download using the app, you first design your tile. This includes what the tile will look like (using an image from the web or your device) and what action it will perform. You can have it open a desktop application, a Windows Store app, a file or folder, a webpage, or a shortcut.
Once you've created your custom tile, it's time to open the Better StartMenu app and pin it to your Start menu. The Helper application will continue to run in the background, as it is required to make the custom tiles work. You can set it to run on startup, so you never have to think about it.
You can also see our other tutorial on how to do this using another app called TileCreator:
How to create custom Start menu Tiles in Windows 10 using TileCreator
Better StartMenu is powerful, intuitive and gives you functionality that Windows 10 just doesn't offer.
The app will run you $2.99, but there is a full-feature free trial, so you can try before you buy.
Associated Press

4. Associated Press

Looking for the latest news minus the political slant? Then you can't get much better than the Associated Press.
Like the news it provides, the Associated Press app is clearly laid out. Everything from international news to the latest in entertainment is grouped by category and can be expanded for further reading. Stories are often accompanied by the same high-quality photos that you are accustomed to seeing with AP content.
The app also customizes your news feed based on your zip code, so you can get the latest local news as well.
If you want to stay informed about the world around you, then the Associated Press app is for you.

Meople.Net

5. Meople.Net

Meople.net brings 12 popular social media sites together in one interface. You can choose from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, Groupon, Flickr, Foursquare, Tumblr, VK, and Odnoklassniki.
Just log into each social network and you will get one convenient feed with all of your updates.
What's more, Meople also lets you interact between networks. You can share posts from one account to another with a click of a button, or invite friends on other sites.
The app itself gives you plenty of customization options, like which feeds get posted where, etc. You can also pin your accounts to your desktop.
Meople is a fairly well-designed app that really helps you keep track of your online life.

iQOO z3 Build Quality & Durability Test

By
iQOO Z3 is the new budget 5G smartphone launched in India. The base variant of the phone can be purchased under 20,000 Rs. That makes it a very attractive offer. We will talk about the full review some other day, but today we will mainly focus on " Build Quality " of the device.  You can skip reading and watch the dull durability test of iQOO Z3 on our YouTube channel. Construction & Material Used:-  Lets start of with the material used. The phone is made using polycarbonate made rear panel and frame. Which isn't quite surprising in 2021, as most of the brands are following similar pattern to provide more specs. Do you remember Redmi K20 ? It was priced effectively under 20,000 and has a solid glass and metal combination. Coming back to iQOO Z3. Display:- The phone has 6.58 inches IPS LCD panel. Speaking about the display protection used company hasn't mentioned during product launch. We looked on Corning database but couldn't find the Z3 mentioned anywhere. ...

Nothing Phone 2: There's something in marketing gimmick

By
Nothing Phone 2 Squabble: Nothing priced its first phone (Nothing Phone) at 32,000 on July 12, 2022. The phone was distinct because to its glyph light feature and distinctive operating system. Nothing has also developed Nothing EAR (TWS), a Landon-based firm that has sold over 1 million units worldwide as of the end of 2022. Here is our whole Nothing Phone 2 review. Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing Nothing Technology Limited (stylized as NOTHING), has introduced Nothing Phone 2, and people are discussing his marketing techniques rather than his products. They implement a twofold embargo for artists; it appears that they are encouraging influencers to engage in dark marketing. Mr. Rakesh, alias Gyan Therapy, made a video opposing the embargo while everyone else was busy fluffing it.  So, following the contentious embargo, I've discovered two major reasons to avoid Nothing Phone 2: 1. Expensive Pricing: The Nothing Phone 2 costs roughly 45,000 INR, which is 5,000 INR higher than the Oneplus ...
