Best podcast app – Pocket Casts

122

After using several podcast apps for about a year, I consider Pocket Casts to be the best podcast app on the App Store. It is better than what the competition has to offer. The app has a one-time fee of $3.99 UDS, but the other apps have subscription fees.

Pocket Cast has a beautiful design. It is very easy to use for a new podcast listener or for an enthusiast listener.

It is very easy to find the new podcast. Adding a new podcast to the main section of the app is very easy. The main section of the app is where you can listen to all your subscribed podcasts. I love the featured section. I have discovered a lot of new interesting podcasts from there. The feature section is curated by the Pocket Cast team and I recommend to visit this section of the app.

The best feature of the app is the cross-platform support. Pocket Cast sync between devices like a champ. I loved the web player. To access the web player, you need to pay a one-time fee of $9 USD. This will help to support the amazing team behind the app. To listen to a podcast on any computer, it is very simple. You need to log in the web player. The web player has a beautiful design and it is easy to use like the iOS app.

I recommend this app to the new, casual and hardcore podcasts listener. Pocket Cast has a well-designed interface for the iOS and web player. It is easy to use and has an excellent syncing ability.

You can check out the app on iOS and Android now.

Best app of 2016 – Gyroscope

A couple of weeks ago, I found Gyroscope, a health tracking app like no other. It integrates with several services to provide the most accurate report to the user. I strongly believe Gyroscope is the best app of 2016 and deserve to be on every phone. I tend to install a lot of apps, but I always end up deleting them. However, it was not the case for Gyroscope.

The app has a social part where the user can add their friends and compete with them even if they don’t use the same service that provides the health information. No other health tracking app offers to do that.

The app has the best UI design compared to any other health app with a clutter free and minimal design composed of a beautiful chart, card and summaries report.

Gyroscope can be connected to other services in order to have a better glimpse of your life. For example, it can be connected with services, such as Moves, Apple HealthKit, Rescue Time, Fitbit, Withings, Strava, Runkeeper, Instagram, Twitter, Jawbone, Google, Spotify, and Foursquare. I have never seen an app that connects with so many services easily.

When connected to other services, Gyroscope track steps, heart rate, location, time spend on the computer, running, cycling, workouts, and weight without the Pro version. With the Pro version, it can also track body fat, sleep, calories, music, meditation, and DNA.

The Pro version gives more information to the user such as a monthly report, annual report and much more. Here is everything the pro version offers.

Currently, I am using the free version of the service and I am planning to get an annual membership soon. The price varies on iOS and on the Gyroscope site. For the cheapest price, go to Gyroscope site which is gyrosco.pe.

I would like Gyroscope to add a couple of features. The first one is a way to tell the app sick days. The second one is to add a way to grade your day and the final is a way to integrate with a journal app such as Day One.

I highly recommend the app to every person who wants to track their health and have an overview of their life.

You can check out the app on iOS now.

Must have app – Feelca B&W

Feelca B&W  released on October 14, 2016,  by IDEAMP Co., Ltd. on the AppStore is a beautiful app that helps create beautiful black and white pictures. The app is very easy to use and has a beautiful UX design.

The app developer has created this app so users can be able to take beautiful pictures like the famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson by choosing between one of the two exposures offered: 24 or 36.

I have been using the app since the release date. I don’t regret the 1.39$ CAD I paid. In fact, I personally believe they should charge more for the app.

I recommend every iOS user to download the app, especially if you are interested in photography.

Here are some pictures I took with the app.
