Allo is one of the latest chat apps from Google that allows you to do anything within a conversation you could possibly need. The app comes with Google Assistant combined with chat features for private and group chats. This means you can interact with the assistant while chatting or even use the assistant to assist in the chat, making it easy to access information do searches, posts, and all types of other things you usually couldn’t do with chat or had to go to another app to get the information.

Users can access their agenda to make reservations, share things you still need to get to or access Google to find a restaurant to meet up at later that day. With the assistant at hand, you will be able to make set reminders, send locations, and just about any other task required in the chat.

The app also includes Smart Reply that will be able to come up with replies in your writing style based on the content that others have sent you. Not only will this app make the messages relate to the content, but it will also include expressions such as emojis.

The app also comes with Duo. This is a new way of doing video calls as it includes many more features and options. The Google team is working on making the app function even with slower network speed. This means you will have the ability to do video calls much faster and not be cut off in poor conditions. Google will also include a knock-knock feature that shown you a video of who’s calling before you answer.
Google will combine these apps to create the ultimate chat and call app to communicate with friends and family around the world. The app will be in competition with strong competition as both FaceTime and Skype fall directly into that category.

Both Allo and Duo will work with your mobile number, allow users to contact anyone on their contact list with either option. The app will be available for both iOS and Android within this year.

Getting a weather app that provides all the features and options you desire might be challenging at times, which is why we recommend AccuWeather. The app has been available for a while on both Android and iOS to provide users with a massive selection of settings and options. The great part about the app is that these options can be left as standard without leaving you int eh dark about anything taking place weather wise. The app is considered one of the most accurate among its current users.

The basics include all the features you could possibly desire. Users will be able to access a 15-day forecast. Use the real feel feature to find out about current temperatures that give you the temperature by combining air pressure, humidity and many other aspects. This gives you an idea of what the weather is like outside for those days you want to play sports, get some work done around the house, or simply find out what expected for the afternoon.

The app will ensure you are always aware of what’s happening with the weather and what to expect as detailed reports can be accessed hourly. The app will send notifications about sudden changes in weather and warn you about torrential rains, hail storms, heavy snow or any other hazardous weather conditions.

Graphs about the wind speed and direction will be shown for the day along with UV, humidity, and what weather conditions are currently. Scrolling ahead throughout the day or week will show rain, overcast, sunny, and any other conditions that might come your way.

The app also offers a world weather feature where you can add cities around the world to keep track of conditions before planning a weekend away or keep an eye on the weather where friends and family are. Users will be able to access worldwide weather news to find out about any serious conditions that might be expected.

Search, share, browse with a single tap from any applications with Spaces, the latest app for Android and iOS devices that will change the way you share and group chat forever.

We’ve all found that creating a group is relatively easy with Facebook, Whatsapp, and many other chat options and social media applications. Then again, we’ve all experienced how difficult it can be to keep to the topic, or how annoying it is to go and search information, copy it, and then get it to the group chat when they have all started talking about something else. Even when the conversation stays on topic and everyone starts to include links, pictures, and much more, but when you try to return at a later stage to access that info, it’s a whole new mission to scroll through.

Spaces is an app with sharing, and accessing the information you want easy and sharing it within seconds. Finding related pictures, videos, websites, and anything else will take seconds as the app comes with Chrome, YouTube, and Google Search, built in.

Members of the group will never have to miss out on any shares as the app will notify members about what’s currently being discussed in the ground. This makes it a lot easier to catch up when you have a moment and easily share something without ever leaving the app and searching for that one picture that’s perfect for the moment.

All users will have the ability to call up previously shared items when they need that information, want to save a picture, or watch that video again. Just press the search button and type in the name of the item or filter through items to find exact what you want. The app will save all the sent items and provide the required info within the blink on an eye.

Adding more members is easy as the app will provide a link that can be shared via messaging, social media, email, and just about any other way you can think of. The app is available to app Android, iOs, smartphones, and tablets, but other devices can access the group via the internet.

Gboard has recently been released for iPhones users, which provides a keyboard experience that offers all the extras you’ve always wanted among a lot more. Instantly access information to send a wider range of emoji’s, GIF files, and much more right from your keyboard while typing a message.

The app has been designed to provide users with all the info they need while in messenger, email, or any social media app. We’ve all experienced the difficulty of finding an address, place, video, or picture to quickly send while in chat. Usually, this results in going to another app and trying to copy the information with those dots they highlight the info with, which doesn’t always make things easier.

Gboard will include a G logo on your keyboard and only interfere with your typing when pressed on. However, once you press on it, a new world of information will be available. Users can do a Google search right from the keyboard without exiting any app you are currently using.

With this new software, you can type in restaurant names and find the results on your screen. Select the correct one and hit send. The details will be forwarded to whomever you are chatting to or added to any social update you are currently busy with.

Users will be able to enter any information just as you would with a Google search. The information will appear in a smaller window, which includes the most related posts to your search. Users will be able to search for songs, movies, videos and much more, which would take the recipient directly to the page you’ve selected, the location on Maps, or any other form or link you might have selected.

The app doesn’t require the recipient to have the app as well. Gboard simply makes it easier to do the searches and tasks easier and faster while busy with anything where your keyboard is needed. The app has been developed but has not been added to the iStore. However, we are sure the app will be added soon for all users to take full advantage of and enjoy sending any type of link and info within seconds.

Once the new update has been launched and installed, users will find the calendar can do a lot more.

It’s about that time of year once again where Apple is expected to announce their latest software updates, which would, of course, be iOS 10. To date, no new announcements have been released about what to expect, but here are a few thoughts from other Apple followers and us.

It is anticipated that Apple will drop a few of the older devices with iOS 10, including the iPhone 4s, iPad 2, and the iPad Mini 1.

This means users will be able to edit photos more easily and actually edit only certain parts, instead of overlays that change the entire picture. Users can also access many additional features, which allow even more customization to pictures and photos that have been snapped just moments before.

Emojis are loved and used by all to better describe everything they say. iOS 10 is expected to have a lot more of these faces and pictures that c an be used in texts, social media or to add to photos for more effect. It’s been said that at least another 70 can be expected, but once again, nothing has been confirmed by Apple.
