June 20, 2016

As the years have passed the demand for wireless headphones have increased. People are sick of having a cord attached to their headphones. Either they are too long or too short. They also get tangled up, not only when you put them away, but also when you’re doing different activities. Whether you’re working out or just sitting around, not having the wire is what people really want.

To that end, the headphone industry has responded by making more wireless headphones. As they have sold more, the industry has invested more money and created headphones that continually get better with sound, battery life, microphones, and build quality. There’s no sign of this trend slowing down.

With that in mind, we have put together a list of 10 wireless headphones that you are sure to enjoy.

Sasha Morse Flashlight: A handy flashlight app with some new tricks

June 20, 2016

Overview:

Sasha Morse Flashlight is a flashlight app with a built-in Morse Code generator and guide, to help you learn to read and write, as well as send messages automatically, in Morse Code.

Developer: Sasha Lab

Cost: Free (with ads)

Impressions:

Sasha Morse FLashlight is a pretty standard flashlight app. It has the same switch and sounds, and triggers your camera flash as you’d expect. However, if you press the little purple button above the lightswitch, a new menu appears, and grants you access to the morse code generator.

The morse code generator allows you to input text, then press the send button and it will transcribe whatever you have written into morse code that flashes from your flashlight. The app also offers a handy guide to the letters and symbols of morse code, in case you wanted to try to write it for yourself. The feature works as expected and is harmless, but I really can’t see a practical application for it outside of a bit of fun. Very few people I know can read morse code, so sending them a message in it seems rather pointless, and I imagine many are in the same boat.

Otherwise, Sasha Morse FLashlight isn’t a terribly unique app. The flashlight app has been around in some form or another since the earliest smartphones, and some have more practical and useful features than Sasha Morse does. The morse code is a nice novelty, and works well but just isn’t something that makes it a must have over other flashlight apps, if you still use them.

Conclusion:

I can see this app as appealing to someone who wants to learn morse code, or uses it regularly for whatever reason, or maybe someone who is interested in morse code for historical reasons. Other apps do flashlights better, and even now they are becoming obsolete as phone manufacturers include flashlight functionality baked into the phone at launch, making this an even harder sell.

Check out these 10 Nexus 6P accessories to make your device feel new and fun again

So, you have a shiny new Huawei Nexus 6P. How do you make the most of it? How do you protect it? It’s been tough sledding trying to find a wide range of accessories so far. These are by no means Samsung or Apple phones where you can find hundreds of cases, screen protectors, and cables in a ton of designs and variations.

Carved makes some of the coolest designed cases out there. Made with real wood, the cases are all unique because no one can have the exact same woodgrain as you. The cases are made from polycarbonate to protect from small falls and bumps. You can grab cases from Carved on its website ($29), Amazon ($29), and Etsy ($34).

WickedWoodcrafts Docking Station

This is one of the coolest products (and most expensive!) we’ve ever featured in one of our accessory guides. This real wood docking station is handmade and designed to amplify the sound from the speakers on your Nexus 6P. If you have a hard time waking up in the morning, definitely check it out! The phone slips into the groove in the dock and you plug in your power cable from the side. You still have access to the fingerprint reader so the phone is fully functional. It seems like it would be great to lay in bed and watch YouTube or Netflix before bed. You can find WickWoodcrafts on Etsy ($218).

GripTight GorillaPod Stand

If you’re looking to take the perfect pictures with your Nexus 6P, a tripod should be in your arsenal. This GorillaPod stand is a universal stand so it can be used with any phone you may have with you up to 9″ wide. The rubberized adjustable legs will put your phone in any position you need to get that perfect shot and keep it stable enough for long exposure and HDR shots. The legs also have wrappable joints so you can secure the tripod to branches, pipes, or whatever you have around you. You can grab the GripTight GorilaPod Stand at Amazon ($17.40), Joby ($29.95), B&H Photo ($16.37), REI ($33), and Walmart ($29.95).

SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick

If you’re looking for a way to expand the storage in your Nexus 6P, your options are limited. Unfortunately, Huawei and Google made the decision to not include a microSD card slot, but not all is lost. SanDisk offers a wireless flash drive that can double your storage for only $25. This 32GB stick plugs into your computer through USB then wirelessly connects to your smartphone so you can stream the media you saved from your computer. The Wireless Stick is also a great option to backup the files on your phone for safekeeping or sharing with friends and family. You can grab the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick at B&H Photo ($29.99), Adorama ($29.99), Best Buy ($30.99), NewEgg ($37.24), or Amazon ($25.20).

Satechi Pro RideMate Bike Mount

If you’re lucky enough to be able to bike to work or around town, the Satechi Bike Mount might dramatically improve your commute. This water resistant pouch secures your phone to the handlebars so you can easily view directions on Google Maps or Waze. The universal mount fits handlebars from 0.79″ to 1.34″ in diameter and swivels to get that perfect angle. The pouch is touch sensitive too, so you can control your music if you’re not too busy dodging cars and joggers! The Satechi Pro RideMate Bike Mount is for sale at Satechi.com ($29.99), Overstock ($29.99), and Amazon ($34.99).

Spigen Stealth Car Mount

For the commuters in the crowd, check out the Spigen Stealth Car Mount. You probably know Spigen’s reputation as a company who makes great cases, but its recently branched out into other accessories like Bluetooth earbuds, phone grips, and car mounts. The Stealth mount sits on your dash and clamps down on your phone in landscape so you can check out your directions in Google Maps in real time. No more holding your phone down by your leg so the cops don’t see you. There are two grooves your phone fits into so you can get the perfect angle and the reusable gel pad keeps everything secure without leaving a residue on your dash. You can pick up the Spigen Stealth Car Mount at eBay ($19.99), Spigen.com ($29.99), MobileFun ($29.99), or Amazon ($20.99).

iCarez Tempered Glass Screen Protector

iCarez has the best rated Tempered Glass Screen Protector for the Nexus 6P on Amazon. Others may have more reviews, but none of them can match iCarez 4.5-star rating. The screen protector is only 0.33mm thick and has 9H hardness. Most screen protectors can boast the same stats, but where iCarez wins is cutouts and price. Coming in at only $7.95 on Amazon it’s a great deal, especially when you take into consideration the free Prime shipping. The screen protector covers the entire face of the phone with exact cutouts for the speakers and sensors. Pick one of these up before you scratch or shatter your screen. You can pick up the iCarez Tempered Glass Screen Protector on Amazon for only about $8.

Yaker Leather Case

I absolutely love leather. I love the feel and the smell of real leather. I love how it looks and the durability of it. Yaker has come out with a leather case that provides that real leather feel without bulking up the phone too much. The 6P is already a big phone, we don’t need any of that bulk. This hard Polycarbonate shell has leather stretched all the way across it with a classic stitching on the back. It’s purely cosmetic, but who cares? It looks great. A case like this will keep your phone free of scratches and small drops, but if you’re looking for serious protection, this may not be the one for you. You can grab the Yaker Leather Case on Amazon for $14.86

iOrange Dual USB A and C Wall Adapter

If you want to charge your Nexus as fast as possible, you need a good USB cable (see below) and a wall adapter to plug it into. But, not everything runs on USB type C (yet) so flexibility is something I really appreciate. The iOrage Dual USB Wall Charger lets you have your cake and eat it too. The USB C port will work for any of your newer devices like your Nexus 6P while you can still charge up other devices that still require micro USB cables too. You can pick up the iOrange Wall Adapter on Amazon for $16.99.

Orzly Multicolor pack of USB cables

Orzly has put together a great pack of cables that will give you the flexibility to use either the newest USB C standard or charge up with your legacy type A adapters from previous phones. You get four cables in this pack (one USB A to C, three USB C to C) that all measure 1 meter (3.3 feet) long. These cables have great shielding, bold colors, and are Benson Leung approved. You can pick up Orzly’s multicolored pack on Amazon for $22.99

That wraps up our list! What are your favorite accessories for the new Nexus devices? Let us know down in the comments what you have to make the most out of your Phone! Want to see more? Check out Volume 1 of our list!

Gululu Water Bottle: Pricey, but fun (Review)

Keeping our kids healthy is one of the top priorities as parents. It has become increasingly harder to do so with all the fast food chains, numerous snacks, and drinks of all flavors. Getting them to drink water can be a task. Especially a 5-year-old who has just discovered the wonderous joys of sodas. But water is an essential part of life. Bowhead Technology has a Kickstarter that can change all that with its new Gululu Water Bottle.

Design

The Gululu water bottle is made of a durable rubber shell that withstands multiple drops, which is needed for kids. It comes in five different colors so they are sure to have something that will please your little ones.

The bottle can be taken apart into separate pieces. The main body is where all the sensors, screen, and the water is located. There are multiple sensors located throughout the bottle. The sensors and inclinometer on the inside are used to accurately measure how much water the child has consumed, while sensors on the outside allow the child to interact with the pet.

gululu2

Also removable are the lid and the spout. The spout breaks down into two pieces that are easily replaced and is also BPA-free. The bottle is leakproof and waterproof, but it is not dishwasher safe, so make sure you hand wash it.

Charging is a breeze with is easy to use charging stand. Just plug the charging station in and sit the bottle on top and you’re good to go. It also links to WiFi for data transfer.

Setup

Setup takes no more than ten minutes with simple to follow instructions after downloading the app from the Play Store. Once you have created an account, you enter some information about your child and get a recommended water intake level.

Then comes the fun part for your child. They get to pick from three different cute companions that will accompany them on their healthy adventure. Once that is done, it will walk you through the steps to of connecting to the WiFi.

Once you have set the bottle up, you can then adjust your settings in the app for more or less water, school mode and bed time. These two modes simply shut the companion down for a desired amount of time so there are no interruptions.

Review

Gululu is a neat water bottle that combines drinking water, virtual pets, and gamification. Think Tamagotchi pets on a water bottle. It makes drinking water fun as they help their new companion grow.

gululu4

The sensors on the side allow the child to interact in fun ways. The companion will do a few different tricks depending on how you touch the sides. It also has a built-in feature that allows to kids to shake their bottles together and their pets can visit each other and become friends.

The app is a simple and useful tool for parents. You don’t have to be any kind of techie to understand how to use it. Once the bottle is in WiFi, the data is uploaded and then open it up and monitor your kid’s habits.

What is there negative to say about this device? I mean it’s got it all. There has to be a downside right? Usually, all that would be followed by a no, but in this case, it’s not. This bottle has a future retail price of $129 before shipping and taxes.

I realize there is a lot of technology in this bottle and I understand. But it is hard to pay that kind of money for an item like this. If you go to the Kickstarter you can get one before that price kicks in for $89, which may still be pricey.

Summary

With a colorful array of bottles to choose from, there is no doubt this bottle is cool. Kids love it and it’s a wonderful aid in keeping kids healthy. I’m not sure what the long term future holds in pricing terms. But I feel they will have to come down in price at some point.

The Kickstarter has less than 20 days and is fully funded and expected to deliver anywhere starting in Septemer.

I just recently wrote about an awesome 4-Port car charger from Inateck. It’s a sleek looking charger with a lot to offer. Today, from that same great company I present to you Inateck’s 2-Port USB car charger for $15.99. It not only has USB ports for charging your devices, but it has a little bonus.

In the box

2-Port car charger with built-in MFi Lighting cable
Four-foot microUSB cord

Review

Inateck’s 2-Port car charger isn’t quite as sexy as the previous charger I reviewed, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking the goods to make it worth your while. As you have seen the bonus is its built in MFi Lighting cable for Apple products. So when your non-Android friend forgets their charging cable, you’ll have their back.

Like many other modern chargers, it comes equipped with the built-in smart chip to deliver the safest current for your device. This lowers the risk of overheating, the potential of causing a fire and damage your device.

This 2-port charger’s outside is built with fire proof materials to ensure the highest standard of safety. It is also certified in many areas such as MFi, RoHS, CE, and FCC so you can rest assured it’s safe.

Summary

Inateck produces a reliable product that is gonna last and this product is no exception to the rule. This 2-Port charger with the lightning cable could be the life saver your friend needs. At $15.99 you can pick one up for yourself or even that friend.

Dead Zombie Land: Simple game that’s close to fun (Review)

June 20, 2016

Overview

Sometimes you’re just bored and you don’t really want to think too hard, but you want to play a game. A couple questions you can ask yourself. Do you like tap style game? Do you like zombies? If you answered yes to both then, Dead Zombie Land may be for you.

Developer: Cruel Bytes
Cost: Free with In-App purchases

Review

Zombieland3 This game takes place in a post zombie apocalypse world where the zombies have won and rule the world. The main character, you, are a zombie as well and your head is about to explode. So your goal is to take out as many zombies as you can before that happens.

The concept is quite easy to understand. You have ten seconds to take out as many zombies as you can. Once you explode you respawn in a different location and you are given another ten seconds to get yourself in the position to take out more zombies. The catch is each time you have to take out more zombies than your previous attempt. So needless to say it gets harder each attempt. If you don’t explode more zombies than before, then the game is over.

The controls for this game are simple, swipe your character in the direction you want to go and tap if you want him to explode earlier. While these controls are simple, I did have problems with the swipe. It just wasn’t as responsive as it should be. I would swipe and he just didn’t seem to move much, if at all sometimes. This made it hard to maneuver into a large group of zombies This should be a simple adjustment.

The graphics are done well and mimic the block style made popular by Minecraft, It also incorporate Google Play Game’s leaderboards and achievements to compete against your friends. You may also connect ” Dead Zombie Land” with Facebook as well.

There are various levels of in-app purchases to purchase coins that allow you to buy different Zombieland4 characters. They vary from 1500 coins for $.99 to 12,500 coins for $5.99. You can also collect coins based on how many zombies you kill and you can watch videos as well to get coins,free of charge. If you share a gameplay video that nets you another 20 coins.

Conclusion

Dead Zombie Land isn’t an overly exciting game, but it is a time killer. I’m not sure how you make it more exciting as the general concept is not very appealing. I do give kudos however to the attempt at changing the way a tap game is done. If you’re interested in a game that will help you kill time when you’re bored, and don’t want to get hooked on a thriller, feel free to check out Dead Zombie Land at the Google Play Store.

Filmora Go: Editing on the go at it’s best (Review)

Overview

It’s summertime, 4th of July is around the corner, and lots of festivities are about to ensue. There’s no doubt there will be many cameras out snapping photos and shooting video. What do you do with all that content? Let it sit in one of your many storage services? Instead you can use Filmora Go – an awesome free app that helps you make your videos look amazing, and you don’t even have to be a techie to use it.

Developer: Wondershare Software Co.
Cost: Free

Highlights

Import photos and videos
Preview in real time
Music library
One touch themes, templates and effects
Overlays and filters
And more

Review

What started as a desktop version has finally been developed into a beautifully designed video editing app from the people at Wondershare Software. The developers took a product and made it possible to create eloquent videos, no matter if you are professional or just someone who does it for fun.

Filmora

As soon as you open the app you can immediately see the quality design and layout. Click one button and you’re on your way. You have the choice to choose from your library, Facebook, Instagram, or Google for photos or videos that you want to insert. Once you’ve made your decision it’s time to move on to the next phase.

Your next move is adding themes, music, transitions to your selections. Themes are presets that Filmora Go already has made up if you just want something quick. You can also go into the editing tools to find overlays, filters, elements add titles, speed it up and more. There are a ton of options.

The music library isn’t really that big, but not to worry as you can add your own music that you have downloaded to your phone. Make sure that you turn down the video volume so it doesn’t over power your music.

Transitions are also very important when making a video. You have six to choose from so you should be covered.

Once you have finished your project you are given the choice to share it on a number of different platforms. But if you really don’t want to, just keep it in your phone to show people later.

Conclusion

This is one of the best apps I’ve used in a while. I absolutely love it and enjoyed making videos of my kids dancing with Charlie Chaplin music playing. This app has so many different settings, and the fact that it’s free with no ads is amazing. I highly recommend Filmora Go.

[Review] Get up and go with Aukey Bluetooth earphones

Accessory Reviews

Now that some smartphone manufacturers are killing off the 3.5mm headphone jack, now is a good time to start considering Bluetooth headphones and earphones. Over the past two weeks I’ve been reviewing a pair of Aukey Bluetooth earphones. Although Aukey mostly produces charging accessories, they’ve also made headway into the audio market.

First Impressions

The earphones are comfortable in the ear, and since they are sport earphones, they have a rubber attachment that keeps them secure in your ears. The earphones are plain black, so they will probably match with most of your other gear, as well as clothing.

aukey_Bluetoothearphones07

Features

Deliver balanced, clean, ultra-low latency sound in a lightweight, comfortable fit for active or stationary wireless audio consumption.
Better fit = better noise isolation and sound quality. Find your perfect fit with 3 pairs of included ear-tips (S/M/L) and secure-fit ear-supports.
Connect quickly and effortlessly manage audio playback and calls with volume controls, multifunction button, and built-in CVC 6.0 noise canceling microphone.
Compatible with Bluetooth-equipped computers & mobile devices, up to 6 hours playback or up to 106 hours standby.
Package Contents: AUKEY EP-B24 Bluetooth Headphones, Micro-USB Cable, Ear-tips (S, M, L), Stable-fit Ear-supports, Carrying Pouch, User Manual.

These earphones come with three different ear buds in small, medium and large so you can swap them out until you find the most comfortable pair. Although some earphones come with swappable rubber hooks, this pair doesn’t have them.

aukey_Bluetoothearphones03

A nice feature is that the back of each earphone is magnetic, so when you’re not using them you can wear them around your neck as a necklace.

Sound

The sound from these earphones can be quiet at times, and I often found myself increasing the volume whenever I could. As for the quality, I found that they didn’t represent bass and sub bass very well, but mid- and high-range tones were decent. These earphones are aimed at the lower end of the market, and that is reflected both in the quality and price.

aukey_Bluetoothearphones01

Battery

The battery on these is surprisingly good. I haven’t heard of many Bluetooth earphones whose battery lasts for more than four hours or so, but with heavy use these easily lasted around six hours. On standby they last several days before they needed to be charged again. Charging happens through a standard microUSB port, and only takes a couple of hours.

Conclusion

As I mentioned, these earphones are more affordable than most, at only $25. Unless you’re picky about sound quality, these should be good enough for any occasion, but especially if you need a pair when you go running or hiking.

You can pick these up for $24.99 on Amazon. (Affiliate link)
