Take Notes Efficiently with Xeeku App for Android

There are many times when you are on the go and wouldn’t mind getting the chance to jot down a few notes about something that takes place in front of you. There are many mobile apps for your smart phone that can make that happen, but few are as user friendly and effective in an overall sense as Xeeku app for Android.

Unified note-taking interface

No matter what type of content it is you’d like to capture using Xeeku Android app, it is possible to do so through an interface that is unified together with the actual window that you are observing (or the actual thing that you would like to write down). You don’t have to worry about opening another window in order to get things done unless you have something in your mind that you want to jot down. However, if you compare that to having a note already on your smart phone that you’d like to capture, you’ll see that it really is the same thing.

Save content at the cloud

Once you’ve actually gone through the process of capturing the content that you want, the next step is to actually save that content at the cloud that represents the central Android Xeeku app server. Because the content is saved in this cloud rather than on your smart phone, you can actually access it from any of your machines without having to manually transfer it between them.

Save content in binders

At the same time that you are saving content with the cloud, you will get to choose a binder for your content. The binder is similar to a folder on a standard directory tree but it is actually possible for you to tag multiple binders to a particular piece of content so that you can save multi-purpose pieces of content in multiple binders and then find them later without having to duplicate the file in the process.

Final Score

As you can see, there are many impressive things about Xeeku app for Android. It is an impressive interface and a great way for you to make sure that you never miss out on important content again. It may seem a little strange to do things that way at first, but once you get used to it you’ll be able to save so much time and storage space in the process. Our final score for Xeeku Android app is 9 out of 10.

In fact, the slider actually has information also about the date, time, signal strength, battery power and weather conditions in the immediate area. However, its main purpose is to be used to slide over the different areas and give you more information about those areas in the more traditional screen that pops up when you go for more information.

Sprite Backup Android App Review

There is a lot of info that is stored in our mobile phones, which is susceptible to permanent loss if the phone dies on you. Apple’s iPhone does a backup every time the user connects to iTunes. But with Android devices, you don’t have such a luxury. True, you could store some info in Google’s own Gmail, Contacts or Calendar. But there are other information, such as photos, videos and text messages, which are at risk if your Android gadget suddenly ceases to function or you lose your handset somewhere forever.

It is in such a premise that Sprite Backup app extends you a helping hand. While it may not be a total savior, the mobile application still give you some much needed features as far as backing up of data and information is concerned. In its present form, the app covers pretty much everything on your Android gadget, which includes application data, web bookmarks, call logs, videos, music files, text messages, and even your basic system configuration.

Later on, restoring the data is also a cake walk, as it does not require the user to trawl through an assortment of options and menus. It can be done by simply tapping on the relevant option on the Android screen. And yes, if you’re restoring the data to a completely wiped phone, you need to install Sprite Backup app for Android again to set things going.

Drawback

If it can be called a drawback, Sprite Backup only let one create backup into the phone memory or the phone’s SD card. This implies that once you’ve done with the restoration of data, you are further expected to copy it to an external location and keep it safe. Feature wise, Sprite Backup could have incorporated an option to save data online. Hope the app developers will consider this aspect when they upgrade the existing application, especially considering the fact that some of the rival apps already offer this feature.

Conclusion

If you can still manage with this minor shortcoming, we recommend Sprite Backup to all the Android users. Utility wise, the app is certainly a valuable addition to your repertoire of Android apps. After all, who knows when your phone is going to malfunction, and you’re no more able to access your stored information. The app is priced at $4.99/license.

SMS Commander App for Android Review

SMS Commander Android app lets you do a lot of things on your phone via text messaging. It is similar to Force Dial, but with more features.

Features of SMS Commander App

When you start up the SMS Commander app for Android, you need to set a four digit pass code. Don’t forget the pass code (write it down if you wish) as the app won’t allow the user to reset it. Unfortunately, SMS Commander does not collect user email addresses as a backup contact to send pass code, in the event of the user forgetting it.

Once pass code is set, you’ll be taken to a dark screen with four commands on it: get location, loud ring, silence, and vibrate. SMS Commander gives a brief explanation on each of these commands at the bottom of the page, when you move the cursor over each of the said commands.

In order to use the app, first type in the pass code, followed by the text message you want to send. Now, select from one of the commands, and press send. You can send message to yourself, and to others, who have also SMS Commander installed in their Android phones, provided you have their pass code as well. When you send ‘get location’, SMS Commander app will send back a text message with your present location. ‘Silence’ silences your phone, ‘vibrate’ puts your phone on vibrate mode, and ‘loud ring’ raises your ringer volume – it’s that simple and quite straight forward to understand.

The Android SMS Commander app seems to work just fine, save few glitches here and there such as the forced shut down of the app in certain conditions. Otherwise it works just fine.

Final Thoughts

Android SMS Commander mobile application comes handy in situations like you miss your phone somewhere or if you left your phone in a place where you don’t want it to ring loud on an incoming call. Otherwise, to be honest, the app is of little practical use to you most of the times. But then, who knows when you’re going to misplace your phone. So, it won’t hurt either, even if you download and install SMS Commander in your Android handsets.

Unfortunately, there is no option whatsoever available with the Save MMS app that lets you save the pictures in a folder or location of your choice in the SD card or phone memory.

Android Snake Game App Review

Those that were around to experience the original are always filled with nostalgia about it. Those that have never experienced it before would probably like the chance to experience it now that they’ve heard about it. Regardless of which group you belong to, you will probably enjoy getting the chance to try out Snake for the Android, a free gaming app that you can quickly download to whatever smart phone device you have.

Roam around and eat apples

The basic point of this Android Snake game is a little bit different from the classic. In this game, your goal is to simply eat as many apples as you can. Apples are eaten by your snake by simply lining the snake up with the apple. Your snake is always moving forward and if the front of your snake meets the apple then they will eat the apple. Your goal is to carry that on for as long as possible. Sound simple? Well it actually is far from simple.

The apples make you bigger and faster

Every single apple that is eaten by your snake makes the snake bigger and faster. At the start, you have a lumbering snake that is not very impressive in size but as time goes on you’ll find that the apples eaten by the snake have both of those effects. The reason that this is important is that you lose the game if your snake hits the wall or if it hits another part of its own body. The wall danger is higher the faster your snake goes and of course the idea of slamming into your own body also becomes more likely as your snake grows. So while eating more apples will give you a higher score when all is said and done, it also makes the game far more challenging with each successive scrumptious fruit that your snake is able to consume.

Final Score

Snake for Android app is not exactly the same as the original was, but it is certainly a game that does a lot to be faithful to the original. For those of you that have played the original, this will be a memorable throwback that you will likely derive hours of fun from playing. For those of you that have not played the original, you can still derive hours of fun from playing it. In the end, we’ve given Android Snake game app a final score of 8 out of 10.
