I bet most of you have absolutely no idea what an IMEI number is, have you? I certainly didn’t before I started researching for this review. It turns out that every hand held device – ie your smartphone – has its very own unique 15 digit IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment Identity) identity number. You can find it by entering *#06# on your call screen, apparently. So, apart from being the phone’s identity number, what else does it do for you? Well, you might need it if you want to unlock your device to use with another network or you might be asked for it ...  More

How many people do you think there are out there that use Facebook Messenger each month? 100,000? 1,000,000? 50,000,000? Well, hold onto your hats because, at the last count, there were 1.2 billion of them. That's a heck of a lot of people. Most people use it to chat with friends or to share news and photos but there's a business aspect to it that hasn't been fully utilised as yet. How about if you used Messenger to get your message across to customers on your Facebook business page using autonomous chatbots?   More

In a recent study of dating and relationships in the digital era, Pew Research Center claims that 11% of American adults - and 38% of those who are currently 'single and looking' for a partner - have used online or mobile dating apps. Things have changed dramatically regarding online dating over the years with attitudes towards them becoming far more positive. In the 12 years since Pew's last survey in 2005 there has been a 15% increase in the number of people who think that online dating is a good way to meet people. Consequently, the number of online dating apps these days has gone ...  More

If you look through the many gay dating sites available online you'll see that the predominant feature of many is the quick hook-up. While it has changed its emphasis more recently, an app like Grindr for example, built its reputation on being the place to go to meet up with like-minded people with sex as the ultimate goal. However, gay folks - just like heterosexual folks - have a myriad of reasons for wanting to meet up with new friends. Some indeed are looking for sex. But many others are simply looking for friendship or are looking for someone to settle down with in a long-term ...  More

It wasn't so long ago that, if you mentioned the words 'augmented reality' when talking about the games industry, no one would have a clue what you were talking about. AR was thought of mostly as a learning device in the early days and an image comes into our minds of optical projections and headsets that put the user into a real-world environment even though they might be seated in a darkened room. Then the games industry took it on board and embraced it. Games like AR Air Hockey, Titans Of Space and AR-enhanced pool table games hit the market and blew people's minds. More recently, a ...  More

For many professional industries, time tracking software is an essential part of daily business. It enables both employees and employers an easy way of keeping track of the billable hours spent working on tasks for specific clients. This is especially relevant for businesses that bill their clients by the hour - like agencies, lawyers, freelancers and accountants. However, time tracking doesn't just keep track of hours spent. It's also a very useful tool for helping improve productivity by giving business a better understanding of where time might be wasted. With all time spent on a ...  More

Let's face it, as nice as it can be to receive an online postcard from a friend, it's nothing in comparison to getting a real one in the mail. But that would involve them having to go to the store and to sort through the measly selection of cards to find something that seems appropriate to send. Your friend probably has better and more appropriate photographs on their smartphone than the ones on offer in the store. Then, of course, they would have to sit down and write a few lines on the card before heading off to the post office, buying a stamp and sending it to you. Then you just have to ...  More

There are two things that we love more than anything else in the FeedMyApp offices, not counting a decent cup of tea and a piece of chocolate cake, of course. When it comes to apps, there's nothing that pleases us more to review than a decent photo editing app or a travel app. We haven't seen too many new photo editing apps of late but here's a fine little travel app that we are visiting for the third time. We first reviewed UrbanBird close to three years ago when it was a mere fledgling of an app and reviewed the second version this time last year. Now we have the third version to have a ...  More

I'm sure that, at some point, we've all watched an episode of Antiques Roadshow and been astonished at the value of some of the items that are brought in for appraisal. We might even have something at home ourselves that looks rather similar. Maybe it's worth a fair bit too. So, how do we find out the true worth of our treasured goods? Well, we could take it to an expert - but that's probably going to cost some serious cash and a lot of trust. We could always check out one of the online apps that are available - but you might well find you'll have to check several of them if you have ...  More

A few months ago, Feed My App ran a review for a new designated social network video app for Android and iOS called Swish Video. The developers claimed that the app was designed for disgruntled video fans who were sick of the clutter that was filling up their social media accounts when all they really wanted to see were the coolest short form videos on the planet. At the time, the app was still in beta mode and we stated that Swish would be an ever-changing entity. Well, the next version is out now and it looks even more impressive.  More
