Messaging apps

You might have seen a review of an app that FeedMyApp featured recently called iDelete that allowed you to send a photo or message to someone but with a time sensitive self destruct mechanism attached. It went one step further than the phenomenal SnapChat that caused such a stir last year. Well here we have another contender that is guaranteed to save a few blushes. ReadOnce differs from both those two messaging apps however in that it works across all platforms and supports audio, video, images as well as text.   ReadOnce is an online service for generating one-time only messages so ...  More

If iDelete had been around a few years ago, former US Congressman Anthony Weiner would probably still be reasonably anonymous...and still have his job. Weiner was caught after sending an explicit picture of himself to a woman in Seattle. The picture went viral and, pretty soon, his career was in tatters. He's not the only person who was been caught with their pants down when sending 'sensitive' pictures to 'friends.' A few months back saw the introduction of an app called Snapchat that went some way to solving the problem by having a time-sensitive self destruct option when sending racy ...  More

Your local Main Street retailer isn't going to like hearing this but there are an awful lot of items that can be bought at much cheaper prices in other countries rather than at your local shopping complex. And while it may not be particularly good for the local economy, if you spent a bit of time shopping around online you can probably find your item at a better price in a store in a different country. The problem is, though...how do you get hold of your item after you've found it? PriceItBuy takes your online shopping social by connecting you with a network of shoppers all around the ...  More

We are all so busily involved in our own lives these days that it's easy to forget to tell the ones that we love how we feel about them. Often we are far removed in distance from friends and family that the only way we can keep in touch is via the telephone and through various online methods including social networks and email. While the Internet is a godsend for instant communication there is no doubt it can be a little 'cold' when it comes to emotions. Thinking Of You is a new free messaging and productivity application for iOS that gives you a better and more personal way of expressive ...  More

When you think about it, Glassmap owes as much to the Starship Enterprise as it does to evolving geolocation technology. All this comprehensive GPS and communication application needs to complete it is a button that says "Beam me up Scotty" and it would fit nicely on Spock's utility belt. Glassmap goes under the title of a geolocation device but, in reality, it's way more than just that. Not only does it let you share your exact location with friends but there are also tools to share photos in real time, co-ordinate meetings, chat messaging and VoIP. In fact, pretty well everything you ...  More

When I mentioned to my daughter that I was reviewing this messaging and networking application and that it featured Snooki and The Situation from MTV's Jersey Shore tv show it was met with rapturous approval. That is the kind of adulation that surrounds these tv celebrities as they serve up their very own slice of life and often censored wherever they go. Let's face it, Snooki is almost American royalty these days. Now they have joined forces with a bunch of other celebs for this new free app from US company VoxBox Inc to provide a unique and completely customized phone and text message ...  More
