Snapchat- The fastest way to share a Moment

Snapchat lets you share interesting moments with others using a disappearing photo feature that no other app can match. If the temptation to send disappearing messages to your friends strikes you, then this is the app you need.




The app starts by combing your contacts for people who already use it. In the rare chance you can't find someone to message, you can invite a friend from the same menu. The app walks you through the whole process of sending images to your friends. It lets you set a 10-second timer on a photo and then send it off to anyone already on your friends list. You'll know when they see it and if they tried to take a screenshot. You can't add pictures already on your phone to Snapchat, but you can save pictures you take. You also can't edit the photo before you send it, except to write a quick message or add a text banner. The app doesn't let you send text by itself, though. You can't preview a photo before you open it, either. Sending a photo is just as quick as sending or receiving a standard text message, if not faster. The app's layout, especially its cute ghost logo, is really a treat for the eyes.

Snapchat is a one-of-a-kind app. Luckily, it doesn't just rest on its innovative idea. It still offers great performance and a neat layout. More photo-editing features would be really nice though, but even without those, this app is addictive.




Summary:
Snap a photo or a video, add a caption, and send it to a friend (or maybe a few). They'll view it, laugh, and then the snap disappears from the screen - unless your friend takes a screenshot!
The image might be a little grainy, and you may not look your best, but that's the point. It's about the moment, a connection between friends, and not just a pretty picture.

Give it a try, share a moment, and enjoy the lightness of being!

Google Play Store's New Look

Google recently rolled out a new design for the mobile version of its Google Play Store, and now the web version of the store has had a new Design.
The new design of the web version of the Google Play Store, is Designed to look cleaner and simpler, with enlarged screenshots, and now All the information is on a single page instead of tabbed pages.

Welcome Page-

As with everything new at Google these days, the Play Store also gets a lot of cards and once again the design is much cleaner than the last iteration. Navigation buttons are hidden now and the Play Store is Noticeably faster thanks for this update. Android Police says Google has been using AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to make page loads faster, so the Play Store doesn't have to completely reload each time a link is clicked.

The landing page has the editor's picks, recommendations, top charts and new releases. The categories are neatly stacked on the left, and when one is clicked, the others hide away, only to show up when you mouse-over. The My Apps page is now a long scrolling list of all your apps, which we reckon will slow up loading times if you have a ton of apps on your various devices. However, overall, the UI is a lot simpler.

Main Page in Full View-

App listings have also got a change and the app icon is larger and more Front-and-center. This was also one of the changes seen in the mobile app. Permissions no longer have a separate tab, but show up when you click on Install. When you do install apps, the new Play Store will show you the last time you used the app on your device. There are other changes too, like the way reviews are shown. You can no longer filter good or bad reviews, which probably isn’t a good thing if you are a The developer just browsing through lots of reviews.

Apps Page-
