Many apps provide cleaning services for your mobile storage. Most promise to clean the device and offer more space while speeding up the device and making it better in all types of ways.

Tango: New Phone for a New View

tango

Mobile phones have come a lot way in the few years they have been available. We all remember how amazed we were when the first mobile phone came out, then we got color screens, flip phones, touch screens, and so much more. However, even though technology has been moving forward at such a rapid rate, our devices still can’t understand physical space.

For example, your phone cannot measure your room so you can go out and measure where things will fit. Your device can simply only tell where you are in the world or navigate from one side of the country to another.

tango1

Tango has been working on just that, which will take the mobile world to a whole new level once again. They have been working closely with Lenovo to bring these features to life, which are now being launched with the PHAB2 Pro.

The app is also fantastic to use in a virtual manner for gaming. For example, we all like the idea of lining up dominos and watching as our perfect measurements all work together and make the map created fall apart as the dominos fall. The app will let you do this on your device, meaning you can place the dominos wherever you want them and tip them over when you are ready to get things going.

As you can imagine, the app has many other used and can be developed in many different ways to make it more usable in both a fun and professional way.

French citizens can now get terror alerts from an app

SAIP

The French government has an app in place that will alert its citizen of any terror attacks. This is a great way to go ahead of the Euro 2016 that will kick off on Friday. The official name of the app is SAIP, which is the abbreviation for “Alert System to Inform Populations”

saip1

This app will alert users with regard to their geo-location on any suspected terrorist attacks. The reason this app was developed is after the November attach which happened in Paris and claimed 130 lives. British Foreign officials warned people that fan zones, transport hubs and stadiums were possible zones for targets by terrorists during the football tournament. As a user, one will be able to receive alerts on 8 geo-locations of their choice as well as their current location. The alerts will include information on what transpired and the best ways to stay safe.

A safety feature that this app comes with is that it will not vibrate or relay any sound to make sure that people receiving these alerts are safe if they are hiding. The government also affirmed the citizens that their safety will be well taken care of. Other versions of this app that might be released will alert users of other emergencies like floods or industrial accidents. The application is available to iOS and Android users.

The Paris terror Attack saw many people in fear of their safety and hundreds die as a result. This app is a great addition to help people stay alert, safe and in a position of knowledge should a terror attack occur on French soil in the future. The app has not been designed to vibrant or send audible alerts in order to ensure user safety in the event they are in a zone under attack, thereby not alerting attackers of possible victims in possession of smartphones or mobile devices. The app is available for iOS and Android.
