Kill Time with Floating Image App for Android

Every now and then you need to kill a few moments while you are waiting for something to take place. Maybe you are sitting in a doctor’s office, waiting for a teacher to finish with a student ahead of you or anything else of that sort. You might not have the time to run a full game even if you have a short one on your phone, but you will have time to enjoy Floating Image app for Android until your wait is over.

The explanation is in the name

There are few apps out there for the Android or for any other smart phone platform that are as aptly named as Floating Image. Floating Image Android app literally is about you looking at floating images on the screen that float onto the screen and then float off the screen giving way to other pictures. This allows you to simply stare at the screen of your phone and see all kinds of interesting pictures. In a way this is like a screen saver that you activate manually and that cycles through an always increasing cache of pictures.

Images come from the phone

Any images that you have stored on your phone could potentially end up appearing on Android Floating Image app. This means that as you continue to take pictures and expand that collection, you also provide more fodder to this Android mobile application for later use.

Images come from Flickr

At the same time that you are going to be able to feed pictures from your phone into this app, it will also augment those pictures with pictures that have appeared in the Flickr Explore service. This is a feed that showcases some of the most interesting pictures that Flickr has to offer and because of that you can definitely appreciate pictures that you may never have seen before. It is a great way to look at new things.

Final Score

Floating Image app for Android is one of the simplest apps out there. No other app reviewed thus far for the Android in the entertainment category can probably be seen as simpler (although there are some candidates for ties). In spite of this, there is a useful purpose served by Floating Image and therefore even though it is not an involved app, it can certainly be useful for the average person. Taking that into consideration, we’ve given Android Floating Image app a final score of 7 out of 10.

EN2CH App for Android Review

One of the great things about the internet is that it has facilitated the exchange of information and sentences across cultures. There are many people in the Western World for example that are enamored with Japanese pop culture. Everything from manga and anime to special drinks and cuisine has become part of the global conversation. As a result, web forums like the 2CH forum (the largest forum in Japan) have become household names.

Access 2CH free

The 2CH forum can be accessed for free from the normal browser on the Android, but this program will let you do it in a way that is better. The interface will be easier for you to scroll through because it is specific to the mobile device rather than just a shrunk down version of the web forum on a desktop internet browser. At the same time, the interaction gets easier for the exact same reason. If you want to access 2CH on your Android, a very good argument can be made that this app is easily the best way to do it.

Translate 2CH material into the English language

Even though this app will let you access the 2CH forum with no trouble, you might remember that the forum is the largest one in Japan. As a result, the obvious hurdle here is that the vast majority of the material on the forum is actually in the Japanese language. Sometimes English script is present in Japanese words, but more often than not the native Japanese script (i.e. Kanji or another way of writing letters) is what dominates. As a result, you are going to need help translating that script into English characters and also going from Japanese to English in the overall written language that is being used.

How can they be so sure that the translations are accurate? The simple answer to that question is the use of the Google AJAX Language. AJAX has great translation applications and when it is properly applied like in this case it can do quite a bit to help programs such as this one work across language barriers.

Conclusion

2CH is a great entertainment forum and this app brings it into English and into the mobile community. That is fantastic and it means that this app gets a final score of 8 out of 10. Delivery apps are important, but just because of their nature it is hard for them to score higher than original entertainment apps in these reviews.
